Renowned Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has sparked widespread reactions on social media after openly expressing his desire to have another son with his second wife, Judy Austin. The actor, who lost his first son over a year ago, revealed his intention to name his future son “Trump” in honor of the newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump.
The announcement came as Yul Edochie took to his Instagram page to share his admiration for Donald Trump, who recently emerged victorious in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, defeating Kamala Harris. In his post, the actor highlighted his respect for Trump’s determination and resilience, playfully referring to the politician as the “Leader of the Stubborn Boys Association.”
Edochie wrote: “If God blesses me with another son, I’ll name him Trump. Named after President Donald Trump. Leader of the Stubborn Boys Association.”
This declaration has since gone viral, eliciting mixed reactions from fans and followers on social media. While some have applauded his unique tribute to the former U.S. president, others have criticized him for what they perceive as an unconventional choice.
The actor, who has been in the spotlight for his controversial personal life, particularly his decision to marry a second wife, has once again stirred public debate. Many fans took to his comment section to share their diverse opinions, with some questioning his motives while others humorously joined in the conversation.
