“I got married to a lady who helped me a lot when, you know, before the fame came… There was someone who believed in me, who actually felt that, dude, you’re gonna make it,” he said in the clip.

The actor admitted that navigating fame was difficult, especially with the attention he received from female fans.

He emphasised his efforts to remain grounded and not forget the woman who believed in him when he had nothing.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Yul Edochie opened up about his first daughter, Danielle, whom he had with his first wife, May Edochie.

The actor had previously been dragged for not celebrating his first daughter, Danielle, at her graduation, while he was posting about his other children with his second wife, Judy Austin, at the time.

While appearing on the Honest Bunch Podcast, he was asked about his relationship with his first daughter.

According to him, they are very close, adding that his daughter is just 21 years old and he does not expect her to understand him.

Also in the recording, he noted that when he was 21 years old, he did not understand his father, so he would not blame his daughter.
