Popular Actor Yul Edochie has announced the birth of his son with his second wife, Judy Austin, on Instagram.
On Wednesday, the actor announced the news on his Instagram page, where he shared photos of himself and his newborn son.
He went on to say that he adores the child as much as he adored his previous four children, whom he had with his first wife, May.
Yul Edochie wrote, “It’s time for the world to meet my son. His name is STAR DIKE MUNACHIMSO YUL-EDOCHIE. Born by my second wife, Judy Austin. And I love him so much, just as much as I love my other children.”
In the comment session, Yul’s first wife, May, wrote, “May God judge you both.”
The 40-year-old actor and his wife, May, had marked their 17th wedding anniversary in October 2021.
Yul, the last child of veteran actor Pete Edochie, married his wife at the tender age of 22 following a six-year relationship.
Following in his father’s footsteps, he made his film debut a year after his marriage.
Yul and May Edochie have been blessed with four children during their 17 years of marriage: Danielle, Kambi, Karl, and Victory Edochie.

My own is just as Yul Edochie has come out publicly to claim a child from his second wife, I encourage all women to also come out with the children they had for other men whilst in their happy marriage?….. Ka Ekete kwupú Ike?

Yul Edochie has a 2nd wife?? I thought they said a marriage with a man whom you stayed with when he is broke will last, how far???

Yul Edochie having a 2nd wife makes no sense to me; This is a direct slap to his first wife who was literally his biggest supporter when he was still struggling to make it in life. Anyone justifying his act in the name of tradition is pla!n wicked. Same Yul said this in 2012…? pic.twitter.com/5m4mU2dngL

Hiding yul edochie behaviour under tradition is ok
But was that the promise he made to his wife?
Or is he using tradition to cover shame?— dhera sassy ? (@dhera_sassy) April 27, 2022
Yul Edochie did nothing honorable, this is clearly a case of cheating that went wrong, if he wanted to become a polygamist, he would have honorably married her before getting her pregnant. Moreover, he is a Christian, unless he has denounced Christianity.#Yuledochie pic.twitter.com/PkwijDHnum

It wouldn't have been bad if Yul Edochie told his wife of his intentions to marry a second wife before even seeing another woman.
But getting another woman pregnant while being married and then going ahead to marry her is a clear case of infidelity.
It's quite clear as day.

Do men ever consider the effect of their infidelity on their wives?
How do u betray a woman who has been there for u for over 16yrs even when Yul Edochie did not have a career, his wife was there. And not only that he cheated, there is evidence for it and then he marries her?

When liquorose said "looks beneath the mask of love" ,she was referring to Yul Edochie?

Before you marry a second wife like Yul Edochie did, should you be in agreement with the first wife before going ahead? ?

If Yul Edochie's wife was the one who had a baby with another man, Nigerians will drag her to filth & cancel her, but Yul is getting away with his act cos he's a man; The double standards practiced in today's society is beyond d!sgusting. Men practically get away with everything.
