Veteran Actor, Pete Edochie has reacted to the controversy trailing his son, Yul Edochie, who recently announced the birth of his new son, birthed by his colleague and actor, Judy Austin, who previously had two kids from another marriage.
Pete Edochie is reportedly disappointed that his son, Yul had a child with someone else, after having four children from the legitimate wife of over 16 years, May.
The Veteran Pete Edochie has now given the new wife an ultimatum, saying: “I want the whole world and Nigerians to understand that as an Igbo man, I never support my son’s actions and as a statesman, I only recognize his first wife, May as the only authenticated wife of my son, the rest is banished from entering my household” noting that marrying two wives does not confer a manly status on anyone.
Pete Edochie also lamented saying “Right from when Yul was still a child, he never listened to him. “I’m not shocked that he has a son without my knowledge. A child that doesn’t listen to his father ends up cutting his or her life span short.”
Amidst the reactions that sparked online after Nollywood actor Yul Edochie announced the birth of his son with his side chick turned wife, an old social media post has resurfaced online.
In the post, Yul Edochie recalled how his wife May Edochie had suffered with him despite not having a sustainable job in the earlier stage of their marriage.
Yul Edochie said, irrespective of his financial condition, his wife said she would manage and never frustrated him for one day in the 16 years of their marriage.
He added that they are living happy and different things work for different people.
In his word: I had no sustainable job when I got married. She said she’ll manage. She has never frustrated me for one day. It’s been 16 years of marriage now. We are happy. Different things work for different people.
