Yinka Theisen, the estranged wife of Nollywood actor Linc Edochie, has revealed how their relationship began and the shocking way it fell apart.
In a recent interview with self-proclaimed actor Uche Maduagwu, Yinka disclosed that she and Linc grew close after he confided in her about his previous marriage.
She explained that she supported Linc emotionally after he alleged that his ex-wife was unfaithful and used drugs.
Yinka added that she also stood by him during a recent family tragedy, even moving to Lagos to support him.
What Linc did to me, I’m shocked. I can’t lie to you, I’m shocked. This is a man a lot of people don’t know. The family had a tragic event recently. And I was there for him. I came to stay with him in Lagos, I supported him, she said.
I will just leave it at that because it’s a sensitive thing, and I don’t want to bring out a family secret that a lot of people don’t know about.
I started a relationship with him after he told me a very, very sad thing about how his wife was sleeping around in Abuja with all the Alhajis.
All these things I have text messages of, and that she’s a weed head. She smokes weed every day, and she withdraws the medication of their last childd who had seizures.
So we became very close in the sense of just emotionally supporting him because I couldn’t believe that a woman would repeatedly cheat on such an awesome man.
Tensions between Yinka and Linc escalated after she got into an online dispute with May Edochie, the first wife of Yul Edochie, the brother of Linc.
The feud took a dramatic turn when Yinka shared May’s phone number online, claiming May had previously leaked her contact.
Linc, however, distanced himself from Yinka’s actions, stressing the importance of mutual respect.
Shortly after, the couple unfollowed each other on Instagram, hinting at deeper marital troubles.
Yinka later confirmed their marriage had ended.
Linc married Amaka Paula in December 2010, though the current status of that union remains unclear.
The actor’s relationship with Yinka became public knowledge when prominent journalist Dele Momodu, a close friend of Edochie, announced their union on June 2.
Reports indicate the couple likely became engaged in May prior to the official announcement.
