Nollywood actress, Judy Austin has expressed her gratitude to God, amidst the ongoing lawsuit filed against her and her husband, Yul Edochie by his senior wife, May Edochie.
KanyiDaily recalls that May Edochie recently filed for divorce from Yul Edochie, and she is seeking N100 million in damages from him and Judy Austin on grounds of adultery.
The DPA Family Law Clinic, which provided an update on the couple’s marital crisis, clarified that “Yul Edochie and Judy are not husband and wife, and cannot be so until the actor and May are divorced.”
It was also revealed in detail why May considers Yul’s marriage to Judy null because her husband married her under the 1970 marriage act and isn’t allowed to have more than one wife at a time, unlike the customary marriage act.
Despite the legal challenges she is facing, Judy Austin took to her Instagram page and referred to herself as “Ijele Odogwu” while giving thanks to God for everything in her life.
She wrote, “Thank you, Lord, for everything!! Ijele Odogwu. God’s favorite!!”
KanyiDaily recalls that Yul Edochie reportedly rejected the divorce papers filled by his first wife, May Edochie, to end their 18-year-old marriage.
