Famed Nigerian actor and film director Yul Edochie has welcomed a son with his second wife, Judy Austin.
The 40-year-old actor wowed his fans, colleagues and social media on Wednesday after sharing photos of him and his baby on his Instagram page.
The actor said that it was time for the world to meet his son, Star Dike Munachimso Yul Edochie, whom he loves as much as his other children.
It is the first time that the actor would publicly announce that he has a second wife.
The reaction of the first wife.
Unsurprisingly, the news was not well received by his first wife, May.
In the comment, Yul’s first wife, May, wrote, “May God judge you both.”
Yul married his first wife, May, at the young age of 22, in 2004, after the two had been dating for six years.
The couple celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary in October 2021.
Yul and May have four children: three boys and one girl. Their names are: Danielle, Kambi, Karl and Victory.
Yul, who graduated from port Harcourt University, where he received a Bachelor of Dramatic Arts, following in the footsteps of his father, Pete Edochie, a veteran Nigerian actor.
Interestingly, May hinted at problems in her marriage in November 2021 after sharing a cryptic message on IG.
The mother of four took to her Instagram page, where she shared a post that had photos of Barack and Michelle Obama in their early years and then when they became America’s first family.
“Never forget a woman who helped build you and supported you when you had nothing… if she was with you in hell, stay with her in paradise,” the post read.
She captioned the post with the quote “Not for this generation.”
Meet Yul Edochie’s second wife
The news of a second wife shocked fans who had no idea of the development.
Yul’s new wife, Judy Moghalu, is a Nollywood actress and producer.
Moghalu is not a new face in Nollywood as he has appeared in several movies and even starred alongside Yul.
Until recently, Maghalu had kept a low profile, not until Yul revealed her as his second wife and the mother of his newborn child.
However, this surprised many as the movie star has always been married to only one wife.
Many Nigerians have taken to Judy’s Instagram page, calling her out for “ruining” May’s marriage.
