Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has denied the speculations about his relationship with his first daughter, Danielle.
It was reported that Danielle had taken her father’s name off her social media handles, which sparked speculation that the teen had a rocky relationship with her dad.
The actor was previously slammed online after social media users accused him of ignoring Danielle’s graduation while posting about his children with his second wife, Judy Austin.
But the actor, who spoke on the Honest Bunch Podcast, said he has a close relationship with his first daughter who is 21.
“I don’t expect her to understand me fully at her age,” he said, adding he too struggled to understand his own father when he was younger.
“It is natural for children to be closer to the mother’s side,” he said, calling it a normal state of affairs.
He said: “We are very close. She’s only twenty-one, I don’t expect her to understand me. At twenty-one, I was a mystery to my father. It’s a normal thing. There will be a leaning toward her mother.”
The interview created a stir on the internet with many fans criticising the actor. Some said his daughter could still have problems as a result of his relationship with her mother.
