Nollywood actor Yul Edochie and his partner, Judy Austin, have stirred speculation about welcoming their third child together.
The rumours began after Edochie posted a video on his Instagram page on Thursday, April 3, showing him carrying a baby, with a caption that read, “Blessing upon blessing.”
The post was met with congratulations from some fans, but others claimed that the video is an old clip from last year, featuring one of their older children.
Some netizens accused the couple of using the old video to spite Edochie's ex-wife, May Edochie.
The news comes after Edochie announced on his Instagram page on Wednesday, April 2, that they were expecting another baby, affectionately referring to the unborn child as "Baby Trump.”
Prior to the baby's arrival, Judy Austin shared an open letter to her baby bump, expressing her gratitude for Edochie's support throughout her pregnancy.
"Dear Baby Bump, While I'm carrying you, your dad is carrying all of us. He makes sure I have everything I need, even when he's tired. He's been my rock through every emotional moment and every craving," she wrote.
The couple's fans and followers have taken to social media to congratulate them on the new addition to their family.
However, not everyone is pleased with the news, as some social media users have expressed criticism and disapproval of Edochie's personal life.
The speculation has sparked a heated debate among netizens, with some believing the couple is lying about the new baby, while others think they may be telling the truth.
The controversy surrounding Edochie's personal life has added fuel to the fire, with many fans weighing in on the situation.
Despite the backlash, Edochie and Austin seem to be basking in the joy of their new baby, and their fans are celebrating with them.
