Linc Edochie, Yinka Theisen part ways… here’s timeline of their union
Yinka Theisen announces split from husband Linc Edochie
Barely a month after publicly confirming their relationship, Nollywood actor Linc Edochie and his partner Yinka Theisen have announced the end of their union.
The US-based Yinka revealed their split in a series of Instagram posts that took fans by surprise, as the couple had only recently made their relationship public in May 2025.
According to Yinka, who had previously defended her relationship with Linc amid online backlash, the decision to part ways was final. She expressed disappointment, stating that Linc had abruptly blocked her on all platforms, including his children’s lines, shortly after her return to the United States. “I only knew I was no longer married when he blocked me and my child everywhere,” she wrote in a now-deleted post, calling the experience painful and humiliating.
The relationship between Linc and Yinka had sparked significant public attention, not only because of Linc’s connection to the prominent Edochie family but also due to Yinka’s vocal support for Yul Edochie and his controversial marriage to actress Judy Austin. Her bold statements had earned her criticism from supporters of May Edochie, Yul’s first wife, and even led to alleged threats, which she claimed to have reported to the police.
Yinka’s emotional posts suggested she had made considerable sacrifices for the relationship, including travelling between the US and Nigeria and enduring public scrutiny. She also revealed personal details about her health, stating that she had undergone surgery to remove her ovaries, and thus would not be able to bear children—a revelation she felt was used against her.
Despite the public fallout, Linc Edochie has remained silent on the matter. His social media pages do not reflect any updates about the separation, and he has not responded to Yinka’s claims. The sudden end to the relationship has left many fans speculating about what may have gone wrong behind the scenes.
For now, Yinka says she has accepted the breakup and is focusing on healing. In one of her recent posts, she noted that while she regrets how things ended, she’s not ashamed of loving someone deeply. Her final message hinted at closure: “It’s well. I loved. I gave it everything. But I won’t beg anyone to stay.”
As the dust settles, the brief but public relationship between Linc Edochie and Yinka Theisen serves as yet another reminder of how quickly celebrity unions can unravel—especially when played out under the unforgiving spotlight of social media.
