May 09, (THEWILL) – The social media was agog about two weeks ago when Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, announced his second marriage to Judith Muoghalu, professionally known as Judy Austin.
Since the announcement, many have been eager to know the woman troubling the actor’s 17 year marriage to his first wife, May Edochie. Judy Austin is also an actress and a younger colleague of Yul Edochie. She gave acting a shot after meeting Sylvester Madu, who is a model and movie producer in 2013. Madu gave her the first role in his film, Secret of Riches which he was directing in Asaba, Delta State. She was auditioned by the producer after he convinced her that she could act. She has since featured in several movies.
Judy is also a budding singer and businesswoman. She owns a boutique in Enugu State. The Anambra State-born actress has two children, a boy and a girl from her previous marriage which broke down irreparably a few years ago. Judy met Yul around 2015 while on location. They became close and started working together. They both featured in an advert for a perfume brand in 2017. The following year, Judy shot her first movie, Native Girl, which was practically sponsored by Yul who directed the movie. She even visited Yul’s father though as a friend and business partner while they were shooting her first movie. The movie brought them closer and they started dating but it was kept secret from Yul’s first wife, May.
Yul performed some traditional marriage rites in Umuoji in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State when Judy became pregnant. Yul’s attention became divided but his focus was more on Judy and her children, being the new wife. In 2021, Judy welcomed her first son, Star Dike Munachimso Edochie. It was the fear of getting exposed that forced Yul to announce that he had a second wife who had welcomed a son for him. His announcement was greeted with criticism while his first wife, May left the two to God for judgment. She also unfollowed her husband on Instagram. While the actor’s famous father is yet to utter a word about his last son’s action, Yul’s brothers have publicly washed their hands off his current status.
