Renowned Nollywood actor Yul Edochie and his wife, May Edochie, have recently found themselves under a wave of public criticism. This reaction comes in response to a heartwarming family moment shared by the celebrated Nigerian singer, Paul Okoye. Paul, who recently welcomed a new child with his second wife, Ivy Ifeoma, posted a video capturing a touching moment where his older children from his first marriage bonded closely with the newborn, showcasing an atmosphere of unity and harmony in his blended family.
This post by Paul Okoye sparked discussions online, with many netizens comparing the situation to Yul and May Edochie’s family dynamics. Following Yul's decision to marry his second wife, Judy Austin, their family has faced considerable public scrutiny and divided opinions. Numerous fans and social media users have expressed concern about the perceived decline in the bond within the Edochie family, with some suggesting that the marriage dynamics have led to an estrangement between Yul and his first family.
Social media platforms have since been flooded with comments on Paul Okoye’s video, many of which contained critical remarks towards Yul and May. Observers argued that Yul’s decision to marry Judy Austin without first resolving issues in his first marriage has contributed to ongoing friction and a loss of unity within his family.
Moreover, some fans accused Yul of neglecting his role as a unifying figure within the family. In contrast, others criticized May for allegedly encouraging her fans to publicly oppose Yul’s decision, which has further fueled the division between their supporters.
Public Reactions and Comparisons Between Yul Edochie and Paul Okoye’s Family
miminwa14 commented, expressing disapproval: “Nah God go punish any of una way go ever compare my King Rudy with Yul Edochie. I have always been of the opinion that when you want to do anything in this life, always make sure you do it right to avoid regrets tomorrow. Just see how Yul has failed to unite his family, unlike the harmonious example Rudy set. This is how real men handle family dynamics.”
[/p]trophykween_26 also shared thoughts, stating, “You just spoke my mind. @yuledochie, see how honorable men behave. They quietly divorce if the marriage is not working, remarry if they choose to, and still maintain a strong relationship with their kids instead of causing a public spectacle and straining family ties.”
[/p]rudemikardobolton1974 chimed in: “@yuledochie, come see your mate. Kudos to you @iamkingrudy 👏👏🙌🙌❤️. @yuledochie, you keep calling yourself ‘ijele’ but fail to keep your family united like Rudy does.”

In addition, some fans addressed May directly, with one commenter, enyichichi, saying, “@mayyuledochie, come and see what Anita, a woman like you, has done. She handled her divorce gracefully, without dragging her ex-husband’s name through the mud. For years now, you’ve allowed people to insult your husband, even cheering them on at times. Look at how you could have chosen a more peaceful path instead of stoking the divide.”[/p>
