Nollywood actor Linc Edochie has publicly severed ties with his wife, Yinka Theisen, following her controversial decision to leak the personal phone number of his sister-in-law, May Edochie, on social media.
The drama unfolded after Yinka, in a social media post on Saturday, June 21, 2025, published May Edochie’s phone number online amidst ongoing clashes with May’s fans. She claimed that May had deliberately shared her own contact with online supporters, who in turn bombarded her with harassing phone calls and insults.
Yinka’s action immediately sparked outrage online, with many condemning the move as a gross invasion of privacy and an unnecessary escalation in the already tense public drama surrounding the Edochie family.
In response to the backlash, Linc Edochie took to Instagram on Monday to publicly distance himself from Yinka’s conduct. He emphasized his commitment to peace, clarity of mind, and mutual respect, asserting that he neither supported the cyberattacks directed at May Edochie nor condoned the exposure of her private contact information.
“I usually don’t make careless speeches,” Linc wrote, “but I want to set the record straight. I am a man of peace and value my sanity. For the record, I did not and do not endorse the recent attacks on May, nor the decision to post her number online, which only triggered meaningless retaliation.”
He continued:
“We may not all agree with each other, but we can respect one another. Better to be alone and at peace than to be in a union filled with landmines. Respect.”
Linc, who is the elder brother of controversial actor Yul Edochie, made it clear that the incident was not just a disagreement but a line he could not allow to be crossed. His statement subtly signaled a break in his marital relationship.
Shortly after Linc’s post, Yinka Theisen confirmed the end of their relationship in her own Instagram post. While expressing sadness, she maintained that she held no bitterness about the breakup.
“In all things, we say thank you Lord! My relationship with Linc is over. No hard feelings at all. I am very sad, but in all things, we thank God,” she wrote.
Their split comes just weeks after the couple’s relationship was first introduced to the public, sparking mixed reactions from fans and followers of the Edochie family.
Background Context: Family Drama in the Spotlight
The Edochie family has been embroiled in public drama for well over a year, largely stemming from actor Yul Edochie’s turbulent marital life and controversial second marriage to actress Judy Austin. Yul’s estranged wife, May Edochie, has since gained a strong base of online supporters who frequently clash with those defending Yul and Judy.
Yinka Theisen’s recent involvement in the feud appears to have deepened the rift, with her decision to publish May’s number widely condemned as reckless and unethical.
Linc Edochie’s swift and public disapproval has been hailed by many social media users as a mature and commendable move to disassociate from what he described as “retaliation without reason.”
