Yinka Theisén, content creator and ex-lover of actor Linc Edochie has clapped back at critics questioning why she still uses her ex-husband’s surname years after their divorce.
In a series of Instagram posts, Yinka revealed that she shares a cordial and respectful relationship with her former husband, who is the father of her children. She warned trolls that any insult directed at him is an insult to her. She started:
“Yes, I kept my last name after I divorced years ago. While I am divorced, I have utmost respect for the father of my children. You insult the father of my kids, you insult me & I have never tolerated it. He is a great man & we have a cordial and beautiful friendship which is not negotiable.”
Yinka further disclosed that she and her ex once lived together for over a year after their marriage ended, a testament to the friendship they’ve maintained despite parting ways romantically.
The mother of three also cautioned against comparing her to others without knowing her personally, labelling such behaviour “stupidity.” She warned:
“I have zero tolerance for hate. Take your hate away from me.”
Yinka was briefly engaged to Nollywood actor Linc Edochie in 2025, but the relationship ended within weeks. However, the surname she proudly carries belongs to her white ex-husband.
Before her brief engagement to Nollywood actor Linc Edochie, Yinka Theisén was married to her American ex-husband, the father of her three children.
Together, they have three children, two daughters and a son named Trenton. After their marriage ended in divorce, Yinka assumed full responsibility for raising the kids, relocating with them to the United States. She worked and built a life there, ensuring they had access to quality education and stability.
Despite their separation, Yinka has maintained what she describes as a cordial and respectful friendship with her ex-husband.
