“I Don’t Expect Her To Understand Me” – Yul Edochie Speaks On Relationship With Daughter

Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has cleared the air on speculations about his relationship with his first daughter, Danielle.

It was reported that Danielle had taken her father’s name off her social media handles, which sparked speculation that the teen had a rocky relationship with her dad.

The actor had faced backlash online before after social media users accused him of ignoring Danielle’s graduation while posting about his children with his second wife, Judy Austin.

But the actor, speaking on the Honest Bunch Podcast, said he has a close relationship with his first daughter, who is 21.

“I don’t expect her to fully understand me at her age,” he said, adding that he, too, struggled to understand his own father when he was younger.

“It is natural for children to feel more connected to their mother’s side,” he said, describing the situation as normal.

He said: “We are very close. She’s only twenty-one, I don’t expect her to understand me. At 21, I was a mystery to my father. It’s a normal thing. There will be a leaning toward her mother.”

The interview caused a stir online, with many fans criticising the actor. Some said his daughter might still have issues stemming from his relationship with her mother.
