‘We’re skit makers,’ Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie denies marriage to Judy Austin

Controversial actor Yul Edochie has claimed that he is not married to his second wife, Judy Austin.

He revealed this in response to a lawsuit that his ex-wife, May Edochie, had brought against him.

May Edochie sought for divorce after accusing her husband of adultery.

Yul said in court that his friendship with Judy Austin was centred around creating skits.

He insisted that their union is not recognised by the law.

According to reports May’s legal team, led by Due Process Advocates’ Emeka Ugwuonye, stated in a statement that the ongoing case at the FCT High Court, Abuja, which was scheduled for a hearing on March 5, encountered an unforeseen setback because the court session did not proceed—a development that Yul and Judy claimed credit for.

Ugwuonye said Yul wrote in his petition, “That since the news of the birth of Star in June 2021, Gistlover, as a negative blog that thrives in fake and manipulated information for financial gains, has been negatively exploiting every movie or skit featuring me and Judy and generating social media traffic for financial gains.”

He further stated that May in her petition highlighted an alleged traditional marriage ceremony between Yul and Judy on April 24, 2022, in Anambra State.

But, Yul denied the claim and accused a blog of promoting false information for financial benefit.
