LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) –The legal team representing May Edochie, has claimed that popular actor, Yul Edochie, denied getting married to his second wife, Judy Austin.
Edochie has been making headlines for controversial reasons ever since he introduced Austin as his second wife in April 2022.
This didn’t sit well with May, his first wife, who recently filed for divorce from Yul, and demanded N100 million in damages from Judy for allegedly having an affair with her husband.
In her divorce petition, May claimed that Yul had a traditional marriage ceremony with Judy on April 24, 2022, in Anambra State.

But in a new development, May’s legal team, headed by Emeka Ugwuonye of Due Process Advocates, claimed Edochie denied getting married to Judy.
Ugwuonye also revealed that Yul claimed the relationship between him and Judy Austin was solely for skit making purposes, and that the news of his traditional marriage was a fabricated story.
According to him, Yul made the claim in his court filing following May’s divorce petition. He added that the development has resulted in an unexpected setback of court proceedings.
Ugwonye said Yul and Judy have maintained that their relationship lacked any legal recognition.
