Self-proclaimed relationship expert Blessing Okoro, also known as Blessing CEO, had the privilege of interviewing Nollywood icon Pete Edochie in an exclusive sit-down at his home for her show Moments with Blessing.
Fans, followers, and critics had been eagerly awaiting Pete’s candid thoughts on his son Yul Edochie’s controversial second marriage, and Blessing’s conversation delivered.
During the interview, Blessing uncovered surprising details about the veteran actor’s life, including his steadfast commitment to his 55-year marriage to one woman.
This revelation led Blessing to delve deeper, asking Pete for his thoughts on his son Yul’s decision to take a second wife, despite his marriage to May Edochie, with whom he shares three children.
Pete’s response was as straightforward and candid as expected from a man of his stature, though it wasn’t a simple answer.
While he stopped short of directly criticizing his son, Pete made it clear that he values commitment to one woman and the importance of honoring marriage vows. He expressed his disapproval of polygamy, calling monogamy a tradition he inherited from his father—one he has faithfully upheld for decades.
However, Pete’s candid advice to the younger generation—likely directed at Yul—to uphold the family tradition of commitment to one woman came with a surprising twist.
The veteran actor acknowledged a harsh reality: in today’s world, when someone like him encourages younger people to embrace such values, he is often dismissed as “old school,” outdated, and out of touch with modern marriage and relationship norms.
