Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has given his opinion about his son, actor Yul Edochie, picking his colleague, Judy Austin, as a second wife.
Speaking in an interview with Vanguard, Pete Edochie said he didn’t feel good about his son’s decision but that was his choice to make.
“I didn’t feel good, but like I said, I’m a Christian and I read the Bible. Solomon, with 700 wives and 300 concubines, was branded a man of wisdom .
It’s his choice and for whatever reason he decided to take a second wife, that’s what I can say. “he was quoted as saying.
Speaking further about all his children, Edochie said;
“All my children are after my heart. Whatever they do I am still their father, and I am very close to all of them.
” I don’t have a favorite one. And I didn’t raise them like that. Whatever you find in my house is accessible to all of them.
” I don’t contest their choices with them. If any one of them meets a girl and he’s in love with her and he wants to marry her, let that person go ahead and do so.
“I gave them the necessary education they require to stand on their own. I bought a car for each one of them when they graduated from the university.”
On why Yul seems to be different from his other children, the veteran noted that Yul is into show business and he tries to create controversies around himself.
“That’s why he has a lot of followers on social media,” Edochie added.
Yul made news in April this year when he announced he had picked Judy as his second wife.
His first wife, May, has since expressed her displeasure at his decision, stating that she will not be cajoled to accept what does not align with her faith.
