He recalled that their paths first crossed while he was writing his GCE exams, as they were both in the same exam centre.
In his words:
“I got married to May when I was 22 years old. We met when I was writing GCE. We were in the same centre.”
Beyond recounting their beginnings, Edochie also shared his philosophy on relationships. He emphasised that men should not lose themselves completely in love, stressing the importance of setting boundaries.
“They no dey mumu for woman. No! You must set boundaries,” he said. Explaining further, he noted that “Mumu na anything wey she do, you take am. Anything wey she do, you take am, ‘Ah, I love her (Judy).’ But, no, you must set boundaries.”
The conversation later shifted to his controversial marriage to Judy Austin. One of the hosts asked whether he had consulted May before taking Judy as a second wife, a question that reignited discussions around his personal life and choices.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Yul Edochie joined the growing list of celebrities who spoke out on the ongoing marital crisis involving media personality Frank Edoho.
In a recent post on Elon Musk’s X platform, Edochie stirred controversy with what many have described as “controversial advice” to men facing infidelity in marriage.
He argued that once a man discovers his wife is cheating, the only option is to leave immediately, warning that forgiveness would make the man appear weak.
Quoting his words:
“Once you find out your wife is cheating on you, leave her immediately. Men, stop tolerating nonsense all in the name of marriage. Don’t negotiate anything with her. Don’t condone. Don’t discuss with her boyfriend. Let her go quickly.
And move on. If you forgive her and continue, you have confirmed to her that you’re a weak man. Danger looms for you. That decision will come back later to hunt you. Women deal mercilessly with weak men.”
