- Nollywood Recently, seasoned actor Pete Edochie explained why his son Yul Edochie differs from his other sons.
- Yul, who is also an actor, shook the Nigerian social media space with the news of him marrying an actress, Judy Austin, as a second wife, despite his first wife, May, being by his side for years before his eventual fame
Pete Edochie, a veteran of Nollywood, recently discussed his kids in an interview he gave to Vanguard News.
Two of the six children of the well-known actor and Josephine Edochie, who he married when he was just 22 years old, are actors themselves.
The kids of Pete Edochie are Leo, Yul, Gene, Linc, Uche, and Eva.
Remember how Yul, an actor as well, shocked Nigerians on social media when he announced his second marriage to actress Judy Austin, despite the fact that his first wife, May, had supported him for years prior to his eventual popularity.
Pete Edochie discussed his thoughts on the scandal throughout the interview and specifically addressed the subject of why Yul is so different from his other children.
Pete Edochie simply said:
“HE’S INTO SHOW BUSINESS AND HE TRIES TO CREATE CONTROVERSIES AROUND HIMSELF. THAT’S WHY HE HAS A LOT OF FOLLOWERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.”
The interviewer continued: But why does it seems Yul is a child after your heart?
His response;
“ALL MY CHILDREN ARE AFTER MY HEART. WHATEVER THEY DO I AM STILL THEIR FATHER, AND I AM VERY CLOSE TO ALL OF THEM. I DON’T HAVE A FAVORITE ONE. AND I DIDN’T RAISE THEM LIKE THAT. WHATEVER YOU FIND IN MY HOUSE IS ACCESSIBLE TO ALL OF THEM.
“I DON’T CONTEST THEIR CHOICES WITH THEM. IF ANY ONE OF THEM MEETS A GIRL AND HE’S IN LOVE WITH HER AND HE WANTS TO MARRY HER, LET THAT PERSON GO AHEAD AND DO SO. I GAVE THEM THE NECESSARY EDUCATION THEY REQUIRE TO STAND ON THEIR OWN. I BOUGHT A CAR FOR EACH ONE OF THEM WHEN THEY GRADUATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY.”
