Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has denied being married to his actress colleague Judy Austin amidst a legal dispute, as reported by Premium Times.

According to Ugwuonye, Edochie claimed that skitmaking was the only factor keeping him and Austin together, denying any legally bound relationship. The court hearing scheduled for March 5, 2024, could not proceed, prompting Yul’s camp to take credit, leading Ugwuonye to clarify the situation.

In a video posted on Instagram, Ugwuonye stated that May has little to prove in the case of adultery between Yul Edochie and Judy Austin, as the couple admitted to bearing a child together. This admission serves as evidence against them, as having a child implies adultery, regardless of their denial of marriage.

The legal proceedings shed light on the complexities of Edochie and Austin’s relationship, with allegations of adultery and conflicting statements emerging amidst the dispute. The case underscores the challenges and intricacies of legal battles involving public figures in the entertainment industry.
