Young Love at a GCE Center: May Edochie Shares Her Meet-Cute Story with Ex-Husband Yul
In a heartfelt revelation that’s taking Nigerian social media by storm, May Edochie has finally opened up about her first encounter with former husband and Nollywood star Yul Edochie. The story, shared during a recent lifestyle podcast, takes us back to their humble beginnings – far from the glitz and glamour of Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
Long before Yul became a household name in Nollywood and May emerged as a social media influencer, their paths crossed in the most unexpected of places – a GCE examination center. It was during May’s early university days when she had just relocated from Lagos to pursue her education at Enugu State University. At the time, Yul was a student at the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT).
What makes their initial meeting particularly charming is its stark contrast to typical celebrity love stories. There were no fancy parties or high-profile events – just two young students at an examination center. May, who describes herself as a dedicated “bookworm,” emphasizes how academics were her primary focus at the time.
“We didn’t meet at a party or any glamorous settings, we met at a GCE centre,” May recalled during the podcast, painting a picture of her younger self as a studious young woman whose world revolved around her books.
The revelation offers fans a glimpse into the couple’s origin story, made all the more poignant given recent developments in their relationship. It’s a reminder that even the most public of relationships often have the simplest of beginnings.
