Controversial actor Yul Edochie has asserted that he is not legally wedded to his second wife, Judy Austin. His statement comes in response to a lawsuit filed against him by his ex-wife, May Edochie, who accused him of adultery and initiated divorce proceedings.
Yul clarified to the court that his relationship with Judy Austin was solely centered around creating skits and did not constitute a legally recognized marriage. As reported by Premium Times, May Edochie’s legal team, led by Emeka Ugwuonye of Due Process Advocates, stated that the ongoing case at the FCT High Court, Abuja, scheduled for a hearing on March 5, encountered an unexpected delay, which Yul and Judy took credit for.
Ugwuonye mentioned that Yul asserted in his submission that the birth of Star in June 2021 triggered negative exploitation by Gistlover, a blog known for fabricating information for financial gain, regarding every movie or skit involving Yul and Judy, generating social media traffic for financial motives.
Additionally, May’s petition highlighted an alleged traditional marriage ceremony between Yul and Judy on April 24, 2022, in Anambra State. However, Yul refuted this claim, accusing a blog of disseminating false information for monetary gains.
