May Edochie, the actor Yul Edochie’s first wife, is rumored to have filed for divorce from Yul. May reportedly went to court today, July 10, with her attorney to file a petition for the divorce of her 18-year union with the actor. Insiders claim that Yul has objected to receiving the original summons.
His decision to take actress Judy Austin as a second wife and have a son with her has caused conflict between the couple.
Yul announced in April 2022 that he and Judy had a son, making her his second wife. May’s dislike of his union with Judy has never been kept a secret. May issued a statement in September 2022 expressing her dissatisfaction.

She claimed that before the unusual occurrences involving her marriage, she had a secure and loving home. She said that no one should be forced to adopt polygamy because it is a lifestyle choice. She emphasized that while she has nothing against polygamy and that some religions and cultures sanction it, she will not be intimidated or pressured into embracing behavior that conflicts with her religious beliefs and her family’s values.
Yul has recently been under fire on social media for what many have referred to as “moving on so fast” in the wake of the tragic death of his first son, Kambilichukwu, in March.
Some Nigerians feel that the regular posting of videos of him and Judy having fun online indicates he has moved on. They contend that in order for him to be sharing such “happy videos” of himself and Judy, he hasn’t grieved his son enough.
