Yinka Theisen has opened up about how her relationship with Nollywood actor Linc Edochie began, revealing that it was built on emotional support following disturbing claims he made about his estranged wife, Amaka Paula.
In a recent interview with actor Uche Maduagwu, Yinka disclosed that Linc told her his ex-wife had been unfaithful and indulged in heavy drug use. According to her, this confession led to a deeper bond between them.
“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,” she claimed.
Yinka added that she was genuinely shocked by how things ended between her and Linc, especially after she stood by him during a difficult time in his family.
“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,” she said.
The pair got engaged in May 2025, but their relationship ended shortly after, reportedly because Yinka got involved in the ongoing drama between Queen May and Yul Edochie.
Despite the public fallout, Yinka maintains that her intentions were sincere, and she never expected the relationship to collapse so suddenly.
“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,” she concluded.
