Yul Edochie speaks about May's children
Legit.ng previously reported that Yul Edochie addressed claims that he was not on good terms with his children with May, revealing that he has a cordial relationship with them.
He also revealed he doesn't post his children with May on social media because there is a court order barring him from doing so due to his ongoing divorce case with May.
"The fact of the matter is that I'm still in contact with my children and I still send my son money through their mother," he said in part.
