I Met Yul Edochie at a GCE Centre — May Edochie Recounts How She Met Her Ex-Husband.

May Edochie has recounted how she first met her estranged husband, Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, long before fame and marriage.

Speaking on a recent lifestyle podcast, May revealed that their paths first crossed at a General Certificate Examination (GCE) centre during her early university years.

She explained that she had just relocated from Lagos to Enugu State to further her education at Enugu State University when she met Yul, who was then a student at the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT).

“Back in school, when I moved to the East for my university, I was a bookworm and it was always about my studies. We didn’t meet at a party or any fancy place; it was at a GCE centre,” she said.

Reflecting on that period, May described herself as a focused and academically driven young woman.

Yul Edochie Saga Deepens: May Fights Back as Judy Austin Stirs More Drama

The marital storm surrounding Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, his second wife Judy Austin, and estranged first wife May Edochie has taken yet another dramatic turn, sparking heated debates across social media.

What began in 2022 with Yul’s shocking announcement of his marriage to Judy while still married to May has now evolved into a full-blown legal and emotional battle.

May Edochie — long admired for her calm and dignified silence — is reportedly taking legal steps to protect her rights, with disputes over property ownership, custody, and financial entitlements now at the forefront. She continues to enjoy massive support from fans, who hail her as a symbol of resilience in the face of betrayal.

Judy Austin, meanwhile, has stayed defiant. Through videos and social media posts, she has attempted to clap back at critics, but her boldness has only fueled more backlash online. Despite the criticism, she remains firmly by Yul’s side.

Yul Edochie himself has faced a sharp decline in public image. Once respected across Nollywood, the actor is now deeply polarizing, with some colleagues distancing themselves while others urge him to seek peace and reconciliation. Yul insists his marriage to Judy was a personal choice that should not be open to public scrutiny.

The controversy has divided Nigerians — some defend Yul’s right to personal choices, while others argue his actions reflect poor judgment and insensitivity, especially toward May and their children.

As the legal, emotional, and social battles intensify, one thing remains certain: The Edochie family saga will keep dominating Nollywood conversations for a long time.
