Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has addressed the rumors surrounding the alleged divorce of her husband’s nephew and colleague, Yul Edochie, from his first wife, May Yul Edochie.
Reports have circulated claiming that the couple, who recently suffered the loss of their first son, Kambilichukwu, had gotten divorced. It was also speculated that May had custody of their three remaining children and their house.
In response to these reports, Yul Edochie has been sharing pictures of his second wife and colleague, Judy Austin, which some interpreted as a means to taunt his first wife, May.
Rita Edochie took to social media and shared a video of May Edochie with their late son, Kambili, revealing that there was no divorce between May and her husband.
She urged fans of the couple to disregard the divorce rumors, stating that May still holds onto her first love and the husband of her youth.
Rita Edochie also hinted that May believes her husband is under a spell which will eventually be broken, and that May will address matters concerning her marriage and family after her mourning period.
Furthermore, Rita Edochie mocked those spreading false news about May and Yul Edochie’s divorce, suggesting that they themselves are either unmarried or come from broken homes.
Expressing herself on Instagram, Rita Edochie wrote, “NO DIVORCE BETWEEN QUEEN MAY YUL EDOCHIE AND HER HUSBAND YUL EDOCHIE. MY GREAT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, QUEEN MAY YUL EDOCHIE BELIEVES THAT ANY SPELL CAST UPON THE HUSBAND OF HER YOUTH WILL SURELY EXPIRE SOMEDAY. SHE WILL SPEAK UP AFTER MOURNING HER LATE SON KAMBILI. I STILL THANK YOU ALL FOR THE PASSIONATE LOVE ON OUR FAMILY AND MOST ESPECIALLY THE ONLY VERIFIED AND KNOWN WIFE OF YUL EDOCHIE, QUEEN MAY YUL EDOCHIE. I AM CONVINCED THAT THOSE CALLING FOR HER DIVORCE ARE EITHER NOT MARRIED OR ARE FROM A BROKEN HOME.”
