Yul Edochie and Judy Austin welcome baby girl amid ongoing marital controversy

The arrival comes amid scrutiny over Yul's separation from his first wife, May Edochie.

The announcement included a touching video of Judy holding her newborn daughter for the first time. She appeared overwhelmed with joy as the baby rested on her chest.

While they celebrate this new chapter, public reactions are mixed. This is due to Yul’s highly publicized marital issues with May Edochie.

His decision to marry Judy sparked backlash in 2022. He revealed their union without informing May or fans beforehand.

Tension increased when May stated she was unaware of the relationship. She also expressed no desire for a polygamous marriage.
