Yul Edochie Welcomes Baby Girl with Judy Austin, Thanks God and Fans for Support
Popular Nollywood actor and filmmaker Yul Edochie has welcomed a baby girl with his second wife, actress Judy Austin, sparking a wave of reactions across social media. The couple shared the joyous news on Friday, May 23, via Yul’s Instagram page, where they also revealed their daughter’s unique name: Universe Ifeyinwa Storm Yul-Edochie.
In his announcement, Yul expressed his deep gratitude, writing, “We prayed, our fans prayed. And God answered. Rejoice with us as we welcome our beautiful daughter. Her name is UNIVERSE IFEYINWA STORM YUL-EDOCHIE. Thank You Lord.” The post was accompanied by a smiling photo of the couple, exuding joy and pride in the latest addition to their growing family.
Yul and Judy, who got married in 2022 amidst widespread criticism, now have two children together, with their first child born in 2023. Their union has been at the center of intense public attention ever since Yul revealed his second marriage, a decision that deeply affected his first wife, May Edochie. Following the announcement, May filed for divorce and pursued legal action, citing emotional distress and betrayal.
Despite the controversy surrounding their relationship, Yul’s announcement was met with a flood of congratulatory messages from fans and followers. One user, @mary.igwe, commented, “Thank you Jesus. Congratulations Ndi Nkem, Welcome to the world Angel STORM.” Another fan, @lambo_abi1, praised Judy’s strength, noting, “Omo she’s a strong woman. That baby is so big 🥹 Congratulations!”
The birth of Baby Universe also sparked conversations that went beyond congratulations. Some social media users took the opportunity to subtly address critics, with @queenjane847 writing, “Some people will want to say congratulations but shame no go let them. Haters, how market now?” Others, like @2337naomi, responded with humor, saying, “I knew she would say it’s a girl… Judy Judy Judy you make me laugh. Keep it up girl. Have many more.”
Judy Austin received widespread praise for her resilience and poise in the face of relentless public scrutiny. Admirers hailed her as a strong woman who has managed to remain steadfast despite the backlash, with many expressing joy over her expanding family with Yul.
While the couple’s latest milestone has brought joy to their fans, it also resurfaced previous controversies. Earlier reports had alleged that Yul and Judy suffered a private health scare, claims made by media personality Radiogad. The unverified reports suggested the couple might have contracted an infection, which stirred further online speculation. However, neither Yul nor Judy addressed the rumors directly.
Yul Edochie, who once voiced aspirations for political leadership, seems now to be focused on nurturing his family and building a stable home life with Judy. As fans continue to celebrate the birth of Baby Universe, many also wonder how this new development might affect Yul’s ongoing separation from May Edochie.
For now, the Edochies are basking in the joy of their new arrival, with supporters hoping this marks a peaceful new chapter for the growing family.
