July 11, (THEWILL) – Yul Edochie’s first wife, May, has begun a divorce proceeding against the Nollywood actor.
May and her counsel visited a court on July 10, to submit a petition for the dissolution of her 18-year-old marriage to the actor. However, Yul has refused to be served the originating summons.
The once peaceful union became troubled in 2022 after Edochie announced that he had welcomed a son with Judy Austin and that he has taken her as his second wife.
In September 2022, May released a statement expressing her disapproval of her husband’s move. She stated that she had a stable and loving home prior to the unprecedented events regarding her marriage.
She revealed that polygamy is a life choice and that no one should be compelled to accept it. She stressed that some religions and traditions allow polygamy and that she has nothing against it but that as a person she will not be numbered or cajoled to accept a practice that does not align with her faith and family values.
Though Edochie has apologised publicly for his mistake, many of his fans believe his apology isn’t genuine as he ran back to Judy and has been fooling around with her on social media without putting his first wife into consideration.
