Nigerians have continued to discuss actor Yul Edochie’s public birthday tribute to actress Lizzy Gold, as speculation about a possible relationship between the pair persists. Rumours emerged on social media several months ago that Yul had left his baby mama, Judy Austin, for Lizzy. Interest intensified after the release of their romance film, “My Star,” which features a passionate kissing scene. In an Instagram birthday message, Yul described Lizzy as the “Ghen Ghen Queen” and a determined woman. “Happy birthday to a very hardworking woman, a go-getter with a good heart, @lizzygoldofficial,” he wrote. “The Ghen Ghen Queen. I wish you many more successful years. May God always guide you.” Lizzy replied, “Thanks Odogwu, I appreciate it,” while actress Destiny Etiko, described as a close associate of Lizzy, responded with “Amen.” The exchange comes against the backdrop of Yul’s complicated personal life, including his separation from his wife, May Edochie, and reports of tension involving Judy Austin. In the comments, many users treated the birthday post as evidence supporting the online rumours. Amakah_of_the_good_life wrote: “Yes! Happy birthday to our future wife.” Eenyichiciii1 posted: “Happy birthday to the verified real Ijele Odogwu, Mrs Lizzy Gold Yul Edochie.” Onyinyegod1 interpreted Yul’s praise as a comparison, writing: “Hardworking, a go-getter with a good heart — the shade is obvious; the other one is lazy with a wicked heart.” Mara_zzainab called her “the real Ijele Mrs Lizzy Gold Yul Edochie,” contrasting her with Judy and alleging that the Edochie family did not know how Yul married her without in-laws. One Poquahh wrote: “Happy birthday, Lizzy Gold Yul Edochie.” Unaexcelentenfermera called Lizzy the woman who could realise Yul’s ambition for polygamy, saying the two had obvious chemistry and wishing them blessings, a new home, children and prosperity. Excelchommy said no woman should separate Yul and Lizzy, while directing insulting language at Judy Austin, and wished Lizzy a happy birthday.
