Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has set social media talking after a boastful comment on his wife Judy Austin's latest post. According to Legit.ng, he compared himself to Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo, popularly called CR7, in the comment section.
The throwback post
Judy shared a collection of throwback photos of herself during past pregnancies on Saturday, 7 November 2026, according to the report. The post came while online chatter about a possible new pregnancy between the couple was already building. Judy has neither confirmed nor denied the rumours, and offered no explanation for the photos.
Yul's CR7 comment
Yul reacted in the comments with a remark that left little room for modesty, per Legit.ng. The publication says he drew a comparison between himself and Ronaldo, apparently celebrating his role in Judy's pregnancies. He ended it with the Igbo word "Nwoke", which loosely means "man" or is used to affirm masculinity. The exact wording of the comment was not given in the report.
Background
Judy Austin is widely known as Yul Edochie's second wife, and their marriage became one of the most talked-about celebrity stories in Nollywood. Legit.ng says her decision to revisit the photos without comment has deepened curiosity about the couple's situation. Whether it was just nostalgia or a hint of bigger news remains unclear.
Legit.ng also recalled that Yul recently drew online controversy after reposting a fan-made biography video that included footage of his estranged wife, May Edochie. The fan compiled and sent the video, which covered his parents, old film clips, Judy and their children, and May with their kids. The report says the gesture did not go down well with May's devoted fanbase.
