Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, amidst controversy, clarified that he is not married to his colleague, Judy Austin, emphasizing that their relationship is solely focused on creating skits.
Yul addressed this in response to legal action taken against him by his estranged wife, May Edochie.
May Edochie had accused her husband of adultery and filed for divorce.
Yul told the court that the relationship that existed between him and Judy Austin was all about skit-making.
He maintained there is no legally recognised union between them.
According to Premium Times, May’s legal team, headed by Emeka Ugwuonye of Due Process Advocates, DPA in a statement said the ongoing case at the FCT High Court, Abuja, slated for a hearing on 5 March 2024, faced an unexpected setback as the court session did not proceed, a circumstance Yul and Judy claimed credit for.
Ugwuonye said Yul wrote in his petition;
That since the news of the birth of Star in June 2021, Gistlover, as a negative blog that thrives in fake and manipulated information for financial gains, has been negatively exploiting every movie or skit featuring me and Judy and generating social media traffic for financial gains.

He further stated that May in her petition highlighted an alleged traditional marriage ceremony between Yul and Judy on April 24, 2022, in Anambra State.
However, Yul denied the claim and accused a blog of promoting false information for financial benefit.
