May Edochie has opened up about how she met her estranged husband, Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, in a revelation that has sparked warm reactions online. In a recent podcast appearance, she shared that their first encounter happened many years ago at a General Certificate Examination (GCE) centre, long before fame and the spotlight.
She explained that the meeting took place after she relocated from Lagos to Enugu to continue her studies at Enugu State University, while Yul was studying at the University of Port Harcourt. May described herself as more focused on academics than social life back then, saying that their meeting was simple and unplanned.
According to her, they were both quite young when their paths first crossed, and neither could have predicted that their friendship would later evolve into a marriage that captured national attention. The two got married in 2004 and went on to have four children together.
Their relationship, however, faced public turbulence in 2022 when Yul introduced actress Judy Austin as his second wife. The situation drew intense reactions across social media and among fans of both stars. In 2023, their family suffered a devastating loss when their first son, Kambilichukwu, passed away. Afterward, May filed for divorce and pursued legal action related to adultery.
Despite the heartbreak, May maintained that marriage can be beautiful when built on respect, understanding, and safety. She also emphasized the importance of walking away from any relationship that threatens one’s peace or well-being.
Her revelation serves as a reminder that many love stories begin in the most ordinary places—and that even those who once shared humble beginnings can grow apart under the weight of fame and personal change.
