How I Met My Ex-Husband — May Edochie Finally Shares Untold Story of Her Early Days with Yul
Popular Nigerian influencer and lifestyle entrepreneur May Edochie has opened up for the first time about how she met her estranged husband, Nollywood actor and filmmaker Yul Edochie, in a revelation that has stirred nostalgia and public discussion online.
During a recent appearance on a lifestyle podcast, May offered fans a heartfelt glimpse into her early years before marriage and fame, recounting how a simple academic encounter — not a party or social event — marked the beginning of her relationship with the future movie star.
“Way back in school, when I went to the East for my university, I was a bookworm. It’s always been about books for me. We didn’t meet at a party or any glamorous setting — we met at a GCE centre,” May shared.
According to her, their first meeting took place at a General Certificate Examination (GCE) centre during her university days. At the time, she had just moved from Lagos to begin her studies at Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), while Yul was already a student at the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT).
From a GCE Centre to Marriage
Describing herself as an introverted and academically driven young woman, May explained that her focus on education left little room for social interactions. Yet fate brought Yul into her life unexpectedly in what she calls a “quiet, meaningful beginning.”
