Judy Austin is a Nigerian Nollywood actress, film producer, model, and entrepreneur from Umuoji, Idemili North LGA, Anambra State.
She was born on 31 December 1991. She began acting around 2013 after being encouraged by actor/director Sylvester Madu (sometimes referenced as Sebastian Madu), who gave her an early role. She later moved into production. Her notable work includes producing and starring in Native Girl (2018), which she has said was partly motivated by promoting the Igbo language and culture. Other credits associated with her include Trouble Comes to Town, Osondu, Redemption, and various Asaba/Onitsha-circuit and online-distributed Nollywood titles; she has frequently collaborated on screen with Yul Edochie.
She was previously married to Emmanuel Obasi; that marriage ended around 2012–2013. They have two children. She has publicly stated that she first met Yul Edochie on a movie set in 2016 (years after her prior marriage ended) and has rejected claims that their relationship overlapped with that marriage.
Yul Edochie publicly announced her as his second wife in April 2022 alongside their son. They have three children together: Star Dike Munachimso Yul-Edochie, Pete Ndubuisi Yul-Edochie, Universe Ifeyinwa Storm Yul-Edochie.
She has been at the center of ongoing media coverage involving her ex-husband’s public claims including on podcasts about their past relationship, child access, and related matters, as well as commentary from other figures in the Edochie family circle. In August 2026 she filed separate defamation lawsuits seeking ₦1 billion each against Emmanuel Obasi and Rita Edochie. She has responded publicly with videos and posts defending the timeline of her relationship with Yul, addressing child-support/access issues, and emphasizing family.
