Popular Nollywood Actor Yul Edochie has reportedly denied being married to Judy Austin during his divorce court hearing with his estranged wife, May Edochie.
The news of Yul and May’s divorce is no longer considered newsworthy, as Yul has since married his colleague, Judy Austin.
May had initiated the divorce proceedings and had filed a lawsuit against Judy Austin, seeking N100 million in damages for alleged infidelity.
May had obtained full custody of their children and had filed for a restraining order preventing Yul from accessing their former marital residence, citing safety concerns and other reasons.
During the court hearing, Yul Edochie allegedly refuted any claims of being married to Judy Austin, asserting that May is his only wife. According to blogger Cutie Juls, Judy Austin also purportedly agreed that they are not married.
The both couples claimed to be surprised by the reports circulating on blogs, as they insist that these reports are false and that they are not married.
In response to this news, netizens have criticized the couple, dubbing them ‘clowns’ and pointing out their alleged reluctance to pay the N100 million damages.
