Recently someone spread the rumours that Pete Edochie’s wife’s name was Rita Edochie. She is another Nollywood actress, quite famous in her own circles. The thing is that his real wife rarely shows up on the screen, so the fans have figured that this woman who carries the same last name is indeed Pete Edochie’s wife.

However, after the journalists contacted her for more details, she stated that she was married to Pete’s younger brother. And since they all come from an Igbo tradition, she can be called his wife too, as the tradition states that if anything happens to his younger brother, Pete will have to take care of his family. But in reality, she is married to a different man. Here is what she exactly said about this rumour:

“Of course, he is still my husband, according to Igbo tradition. Since he is an elder in my husband's family, he is still my husband. But he is not the one doing the job.”

However, he seems to be more open to the protestant teaching.

Meanwhile, another Pete Edochie’s son, Yul Edochie, is a famous actor. He is married and has three children. His first film he appeared in was “The Exquires.” He worked together with celebrities like Late Justus Esiri and Enebeli Elebuwa in it.
