Actor Yul Edochie has reunited with his elder brother, Linc, and their aunt, veteran actress Rita Edochie, months after a public fallout linked to his marriage to Judy Austin. The reunion, captured in a video shared by Rita, took place at a family gathering attended by members of the wider Edochie clan.
The brothers had been estranged since 2024, when Linc advised Yul to stop discussing his controversial relationship with Judy Austin on social media. Yul responded with a fiery public message accusing his brother of offering advice he could not apply in his own personal life, a clash that led the pair to unfollow each other online.
Family tensions deepened as Rita Edochie repeatedly criticised Judy Austin, accusing her of breaking Yul’s marriage to his first wife, May Edochie. Her posts regularly fuelled online debates surrounding the actor’s private life.
The newly surfaced video shows all three relatives embracing warmly and posing for photos, signalling a significant step towards healing within one of Nollywood’s most talked-about families. The clip quickly went viral, drawing emotional reactions from fans who had closely followed the Edochie family drama.
The reunion comes amid rumours that Yul and Judy Austin are experiencing turbulence in their marriage, though neither party has commented publicly on the speculation. The development has intensified public attention on Yul’s personal relationships, which have remained a dominant topic on social media.
Observers say the reconciliation suggests a renewed willingness within the family to settle differences privately, following years of public exchanges that often spilled onto digital platforms. The presence of Linc and Rita, both influential figures in the Edochie dynasty, is already being interpreted as a positive sign of unity.
While the reunited trio have not released an official statement, the shared video alone has sparked fresh conversations about forgiveness, family ties and the future of Yul’s strained relationships.
