Judy Austin,  mother of one, who hails from Umuoji in Anambra State’s Idemilli North, has revealed what made her decide to be second wife of Yul Edochie.

Speaking on relationships, marriage, and sex, the actress said: “I don’t believe in jumping from one man to another. I’m a relationship kind of person. I believe in having someone, a man that you do this thing with, not giving it out to all men who cross your path simultaneously. You do whatever works for you.

“ I love relationships, and it is how I am created. If a relationship does not work out for you, you can decide to break up and get hooked again or give yourself a break. A relationship is not all about sex or emotional things.

“I love to have normal relationships with intellectual people, people I can learn from. So anything “relationship” with the right person is a welcome idea.”

Judy Austin, whose full name is Muoghalu Uchechukwu Judith is a beautiful  Nollywood actress, movie producer and business owner, who has featured in many Nollywood movies but the ones that brought her fame are ‘Native Girl’ and ‘Fear’.

In an interview with the Tribune about her working experiences with Yul, she said: “I had told him I wanted to produce a movie, and that I wanted him to direct it. He simply told me to find a story that would be both strong and different. When he saw the scripts, he had no doubts. That was how ‘Native Girl’ came to light with the help of my director, Yul Edochie.”

Apart from acting and directing, she also said Yul supported the project financially. She said it cost N4 million to produce the film. She also described him as a “one in a million kind of director that wants everything to go well.”

Until recently, Judy Austin was a regular Nollywood actress based in Asaba, Delta State.

She however became popular when Yul Edochie, formally introduced her to the world as his second wife on Instagram. 

Since then, the voluptuous actress has had to contend with online trolls, who have thronged her page to  lambast her with some reminding her of  statements she made on marriage in recent interviews with Vanguard Newspaper, where she stated that marriage is not an achievement.

Before this time, fans and colleagues knew only about Yul’s marriage to May. The couple celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary in October 2021.
