Nigerian movie star Yul Edochie publicly apologises to first wife May Edochie
Yul Edochie has publicly apologised to his first wife, May Edochie, for impregnating his colleague and marrying her as a second wife.
Since Yul’s marriage to his colleague, Judy Austin Muoghalu, was announced, May has made it clear several times that she will not be forced into a polygamous union.
Yul has now taken to Instagram to beg for her forgiveness.
He admitted that he hurt her, but begged her to remember the 99 things he did right and forgive the one thing he did wrong.
The couple celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary in October 2021.
Background of Yul’s second marriage
Judy and Yul started working together when she produced and played the lead role in the ‘Native Girl’ cinema movie.
It was the first time she would direct or make a film. In the movie, she played the timid wife of Yul, an international businessman.
Aside from acting and directing, she also said Yul supported the project financially. She said it cost N4 million to produce the film.

Judy was in the habit of celebrating Yul on her page, but people assumed it was all about a junior colleague doing the needful for a senior colleague.
The working relationship soon metamorphosed into marriage.
Amidst the drama currently ravaging Yul’s marriage, his equally famous father Pete Edochie, through a statement written by his elder brother, has disassociated from Yul’s second wife.
Yul, who graduated from the University of Port Harcourt, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Dramatic Arts, followed in the footsteps of his father, a veteran Nigerian actor.
His brother, Uche, an accomplished Nigerian Postwar and Contemporary painter revealed that Yul informed them of his decision to marry a new wife, and they strongly advised him not to.
He also said the family is as shocked as Nigerians on social media.
Yul and May have four children- Three boys and a daughter. Their names are Danielle, Kambi, Karl, and Victory.
