Recalled Veteran Nigerian actress, Rita Edochie, sent a word of prayer to the family of her relative, and fellow colleague in the Nigerian movie industry, Yul, amid rumours that his first wife, May, has filed for divorce.
May Edochie, the first wife of Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has reportedly initiated the process of getting a divorce from her estranged husband.
It was gathered that the businesswoman and her legal representative went to court on Monday, July 10, to file a petition to end their 18-year-long marriage.
However, there are reports suggesting that Yul Edochie has been avoiding being served the legal documents.
May Edochie reportedly begins
Itโs no secret that the couple have been at loggerheads since the actor publicly announced his marriage to his colleague, Judy Austin, in April 2022 and welcomed a son with her.
At the time, May expressed her strong disagreement with Yulโs decision to enter into a polygamous marriage, emphasizing that no one should be forced to accept it.
She acknowledged that certain religions and traditions permit polygamy, and while she respects those beliefs, she personally refuses to conform to a practice that contradicts her own faith and family values.
