Popular Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has explained why he no longer shares photos of his children with his estranged wife, May Edochie.
He addressed the issue after facing online criticism for frequently posting about the children he has with his second wife, Judy Austin.
In an interview with Kel Armstrong Amobi on the KAA Truth podcast, Yul said he remains actively involved in his children’s lives and recently sent money to his second son through his mother’s bank account.
Responding to claims that he abandoned his children, Yul said:
“I’v heard a lot of things about people saying he abandoned his children. Sometimes I read those things and I laughed. If my children never come to you and complain, it’s funny because I’m in contact with my children.
“My second son just got into the university some months ago, he just did his matriculation few days back, and we’re communicating. In fact he told me about it a day before the time.
“And I said you know I’m very busy, why don’t you tell me this ahead of time like five days or a week so that I can come. And I said ok, congratulations.

“You’re 17, and that was my age when I got into university as well and of course my parents were not even there when I did my matriculation.
‘So, it’s time for you to be a man. If you have told me earlier, I would have been there, but best of luck bro, I wish you the best.
“I said send me pictures when you guys are done. He sent me the picture. This is the same son they’re saying I’m not in contact with. You can’t set camera to debunk everything. I have a chat with my son yesterday and I sent him money today. Sent it through the mother, so that the money keeps record of it.
“No matter what happened, it shouldn’t affect the children. There’s also a court order, you know there’s divorce case going on. That’s why I can’t really speaks about it, but there’s also a court order saying that anything that has to do with my children, I shouldn’t post for their own safety.
‘My second son is 17, while the other one is about 8 years. They said no more posting of them. So it’s not like I don’t love them. They are my blood”, he stated.
