Nigerians have continued to express shock across diverse social media platforms after popular Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, welcomed a son with his second wife, Judy Austin, who is also a Nigerian actress.

The actor made this know via his Instagram page on Wednesday, where he shared pictures of himself and the newborn son.

He added that he loves the child as much as he loved his older four children, which he shared with his first wife, May.

Edochie wrote, “It’s time for the world to meet my son. His name is STAR DIKE MUNACHIMSO YUL-EDOCHIE. Born by my second wife, Judy Austin. And I love him so much, just as much as I love my other children.”

In the comment session, Yul’s first wife, May, wrote, “May God judge you both.”

The 40-year-old actor and his wife, May, had marked their 17th wedding anniversary in October 2021.

Yul, last child of veteran actor, Pete Edochie, married his wife at the young age of 22 after they both dated for six years.

He followed in his father’s footsteps and made his debut in the movie industry a year after his marriage.

In their 17 years of marriage, Yul and May are blessed with four children Danielle, Kambi, Karl, and Victory Edochie.

This has generated reactions on social media as many Nigerians have continued to react across all the social media platforms.

After seeing all these Celebrities lifestyle and some skeletons in there cupboard being revealed, i have decided to just be successful and live my peaceful life as my PARENTS ARE MY ROLE MODEL. The moment you start liking one boom!! Gistlover will post #Brendanukagod

@TrendinggistzTv

So Yul Edochie and all of his lovey-doveyness has a second wife, as well as a son who is really adorable. Gistlover was plotting to expose and humiliate him, and the guy man used his hand to bring the narrative. He has a second wife, and his first wife is well aware of this.

@rinu_savvy

Is very normal for an lgbo man to marry as many wives as he likes but do it in a proper way, with the knowledge and the consent of your first wife, maka ara igbachi unu nti!

Gistlover keep exposing them yeyebrities!

What a saga!

@KhakifatHamzat

I think the problem in yul’s case is the fact that his wife wasn’t aware till gistlover brought it out. Just imagine the blog didn’t 😂😂😂 you no go know say your husband get another family elsewhere.
