PICTURES: Meet All 6 Children Of Nollywood Actor Pete Edochi6 min read

Pete Edochie burst onto the scene in the 1980s after playing the outstanding classic role of Okonkwo in the NTA adaptation of Chinua Achebe’s best selling book, Things Fall Apart. Since then, Pete has been a tireless hardworker who has since gone on to star in countless Nollywood movies, some that were released as recently as this year.

As prolific and public as Pete is, his family has managed to successfully stay out of the limelight for the most part. Apart from his son, Yul Edochie who is also widely known, not much is known about his other children. In fact, a lot of people believe and incorrectly so, that Yul is Pete’s only child.

So…who are these other mystery 5 children? Well, that’s what I’m here to fill you in on today. Are you ready? Let’s go!

His artwork has been sold at numerous auctions. He’s been blessed with three children – two girls and one boy.

Lincoln Edochie aka Linc Edochie is Pete’s third son. He took a lot from his father’s creative genes. Linc is an actor, director, and scriptwriter who started professionally acting in 1995.

He too is married with children.

He is also the managing Director of Space Calibre Ltd, an interior design company. He too attended the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and has a Master of Science degree in Architecture. Gene is married as well.

Fifth Child: Pete’s Daughter

Pete Edochie’s fifth child and only daughter are the most removed from the limelight and public domain, so much so that nothing is known about her – not even her name. The only reason we know she exists is because of family pictures of the entire Pete Edochie family which shows all six children. Otherwise, nobody would have ever known that Pete even had a daughter.

Sixth Child: Yul Edochie

Yul Chibuike Daniel Edochie popularly known as Yul Edochie is a Nigerian actor, named after Russian actor Yul Brynner.

Of all of Pete Edochie’s children, Yul Edochie is the most known because he took after his father’s footsteps and successfully delved into acting in and producing Nollywood movies. Born in 1982 (41 years old), Yul is the baby of the house.

He is married with four children – three sons and a daughter.

Recently, Yul Edochie lost his son, he deleted all pictures of his second wife Judy Austin and her new son on his Instagram page.

While reasons for this action by Edochie have not been established, feelers suggested that the actor who lost his son, Kambilichuwku some weeks back has been trying to put his house in order.

Recall that he has been having a running battle with his first wife and mother of his late son, Mary, who had threatened to leave Edochie to welcome another son out of wedlock.

Their marriage became a public affair since the actor revealed that he had taken a second wife and the woman welcomed a son.

Edochie even stated that it was God’s plan for his life to have a second wife, urging his first wife, Mary to accept the new wife and son as the wish of God.

Since the death of Kambilichuwku, Edochie has been off social media platforms but his recent move to delete all the pictures of Judy and her son could only mean that he’s up to something.

Pete has quite the extensive family and it is very heartwarming to see all six of them grown up aprospering. It must really do Pete proud.
