I Was Just 22 When I Married May” – Yul Edochie Reveals

According to reports circulating online, the actor made the disclosure during a recent appearance on the Honest Bunch Podcast, where he reflected on how their relationship began while they were both writing the General Certificate Examination (GCE) at the same centre.

In a video clip from the interview that has attracted attention on social media, Yul explained that they became close shortly after meeting and eventually got married while he was preparing to further his education.

The actor also shared his views on relationships, stressing that men should avoid becoming overly submissive in love and instead establish clear boundaries. He maintained that affection should not come at the expense of self-respect or personal principles.

Yul’s marriage to May reportedly hit troubled waters following his marriage to fellow actress Judy Austin, a development that sparked widespread reactions online.

Meanwhile, the actor recently came under criticism after reacting to discussions surrounding the failed marriage of media personality Roby Ekpo and his former partner, Mayowa Lambe.

The controversy followed Roby Ekpo’s interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast with media personality Daddy Freeze, which generated intense public debate. Broadcaster Do2dtun had defended Roby, arguing that speaking openly about emotional struggles and prioritising mental health is preferable to suffering in silence.

However, Yul disagreed with the stance, criticising Roby Ekpo’s emotional reaction to the failed marriage. His comments, including remarks suggesting that men should move on quickly from heartbreak, triggered backlash from social media users.
