While Nollywood actor Yul Edochie and his second wife, Judy Austin, are basking in the joy of welcoming their newborn daughter, popular actress Sarah Martins appears to have ruffled feathers with her reaction to the baby’s name.
The actor took to Instagram on Friday, May 23, 2025, to announce the birth of their daughter, whom they named Universe Ifeyinwa Storm Yul-Edochie. He thanked God for answering their prayers and called on fans to rejoice with them.
However, shortly after the post went viral, Sarah Martins made a sarcastic comment on her Instagram page that many netizens interpreted as throwing shade at the couple’s choice of name.

She wrote:
“Them don born UNIVERSE asin uwa nile. Abeg where the rest of us wan dey??? Chineke para kwa tule. Ha amuola uwa nile.”
The remark, loosely translated to mean “They have given birth to the entire universe, so where are the rest of us supposed to exist?”, triggered a wave of reactions online. Many social media users accused Sarah of being bitter and disrespectful, while others found humour in her post.
This isn’t the first time Sarah Martins has inserted herself into the drama surrounding Yul and Judy’s controversial union, especially since Yul’s estranged first wife, May Edochie, has continued to receive public sympathy.
Despite the backlash, Sarah Martins seems unbothered and has not deleted the post, leaving fans divided over whether she was simply being sarcastic or intentionally petty.
