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.
It’s 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 Yul’s 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.
She also made it clear that she does not wish to be coerced or pressured into accepting a lifestyle that goes against her principles.
It appears that May, a mother of four who recently experienced the tragic loss of her first son, is finally set to walk away from their marriage.
This report comes shortly after May broke her silence for the first time since the passing of their son, Kambilichukwu, who sadly died on March 29.
