Yul Edochie, the renowned Nigerian actor and filmmaker, stirred up a buzz online after being slammed for not addressing his wife, Judy Austin, by her married surname.

Since their controversial marriage became public, the couple has faced relentless criticism, with trolls seizing every opportunity to attack them. Yet, the pair remains unfazed, often sharing loved-up videos and photos that only seem to intensify the scrutiny they face.

Since tying the knot with Yul, Judy has proudly embraced her new identity, adding the Edochie surname to her profile as a declaration of her happiness and commitment.

However, in a recent post, Yul stirred the pot once again. While showering Judy with affection in a video that captured their playful banter, he referred to her as “Judy Austin” in the caption.

The video showcased the couple enjoying each other’s company, filled with laughter and mutual compliments.

But the tone quickly shifted in his caption when he revealed he had just dropped her off at the airport for a flight, lamenting the emptiness he feels in her absence.

This heartfelt gesture quickly turned into a battleground in the comments section, where critics rushed in not to celebrate the couple’s love but to chastise Yul for sticking with Judy’s maiden name, “Austin.”

Many fans were quick to call him out, questioning why he wouldn’t acknowledge her as an Edochie, given the significance of their union.

Yet amidst the backlash, a few loyal supporters rose to Yul’s defense, arguing that there’s nothing wrong with retaining a maiden name.

They pointed out examples like Mercy Johnson, who continues to use her father’s name even after marrying Prince Okojie, suggesting that such choices are personal and should be respected.
