Nollywood stars Lizzy Gold and Yul Edochie have sparked widespread reactions on social media following the circulation of a video showing them dancing together during the actress’s birthday celebration aboard a yacht.
The video, which emerged after Gold’s all-white birthday party on October 16, 2026, attracted criticism and mixed reactions from social media users, particularly over the actress’s revealing outfit and her interaction with Edochie.
In the footage circulating online, the two actors were seen dancing alongside other guests during the celebration.
However, Gold’s white outfit became a subject of discussion after viewers observed that parts of her undergarments were visible through the fabric.
While some commenters criticised her fashion choice, others defended her right to dress according to her personal preferences.
The interaction between the actress and Edochie also reignited speculation about their relationship, with some social media users questioning their closeness.
The renewed attention followed an earlier romantic scene involving the two actors in the Nollywood production My Star, which had generated similar discussions online.
Gold previously addressed the controversy surrounding the movie scene, explaining that it was part of their professional acting responsibilities.
Meanwhile, Edochie had publicly celebrated the actress on her birthday, praising her dedication to her career and describing her as a hardworking individual.
The birthday tribute attracted further attention, particularly among followers who had previously speculated about the nature of their relationship.
The controversy also drew reactions from other entertainment personalities.
Former Actors Guild of Nigeria President Emeka Rollas became part of the online discussion after responding to commentary surrounding the circulating video.
Veteran actress Rita Edochie also shared a social media message that some followers interpreted as a reference to the renewed speculation involving the actors.
However, there has been no verified confirmation that her comments were directed specifically at Gold or that the birthday celebration reflected any change in Edochie’s personal relationships.
The latest controversy has once again highlighted how social media discussions about celebrity appearances and professional interactions can quickly develop into speculation about their private lives.
Despite the reactions, neither the video nor the actors’ public exchanges establish that they are romantically involved.
As of publication, no credible evidence has emerged confirming the relationship allegations circulating online.
