Yinka Theisen, the former partner of Nollywood actor Linc Edochie, has claimed that she began a relationship with him after he told her that his estranged wife cheated on him.
Naijaonpoint reports that Edochie and Theisen have been in the news recently following a scandal involving May Edochie.
Edochie married his estranged wife, Amaka Paula, in December 2010, and they shared two children.
In May 2025, Linc Edochie got engaged to his new partner, Yinka Theisen.
A month after their engagement, Linc broke up with Yinka for getting involved in May and Yul Edochie’s divorce drama on social media.
Speaking on the situation in an interview with actor Uche Maduagwu, Yinka Theisen narrated that she started a relationship with Linc after he accused his ex-wife of cheating on him and smoking weed.
She said, “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 (Edochie) had a tragic event recently. And I was there for him. I came to stay with him in Lagos, I supported him. 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 that she withdraws the medication of their last child that 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.”
