Actor Yul Edochie and his wife Judy Austin have welcomed a new addition to their family—a baby girl. The news broke on Friday after Edochie posted a heartfelt video on Instagram showing Austin holding their newborn daughter in a quiet, emotional moment from the hospital.
In the Instagram post, the Nollywood actor revealed the baby’s name and expressed his gratitude for the support he received during the pregnancy. “We prayed, our fans prayed and God answered. Rejoice with us as we welcome our beautiful daughter. Her name is UNIVERSE IFEYINWA STORM YUL-EDOCHIE. Thank You Lord,” he wrote.
This marks the couple’s second child together. Edochie and Judy Austin had earlier welcomed a son, whose face was revealed to the public in 2023 during his first birthday celebration.
Yul Edochie, who is also a film director and politician, made headlines in 2022 when he publicly announced Judy Austin as his second wife. The announcement caused a stir on social media, especially since it was made alongside the news of the birth of their first child. Many fans expressed sympathy for his first wife, May Edochie, who was not initially aware of the development.
Despite public criticism and online debate over his personal life choices, Edochie has remained active in the film industry and on social media. He continues to post about his family, his work, and his personal goals.
In April 2024, Edochie sparked further conversation by sharing his desire to have a large family. He said, “My late son Kambilichukwu will return and I will have a complete football team.” This comment came a year after the tragic loss of his son Kambilichukwu, who reportedly died after suffering a seizure.
