Yul, in an interview on the KaaTruths podcast, clarified that he has a cordial relationship with his other children.

The movie star emphasised that he is still in contact with his children and often fulfill his financial obligations.

Yul also disclosed that he recently chatted with his son, who informed him about his matriculation into a university, but he could not attend the event because he was not informed in time.

He said, “The reason why I don’t post anything about my kids with May is not because I don’t have a good relationship with them but because there’s a court order that says we must stop posting our kids.

“The fact of the matter is that I’m still in contact with my children and I still send my son money through their mother.” 

When asked if he was honest with his estranged wife during their marriage, Yul said, “The main issue is not on social media.

“I would rather not say anything. I don’t want to say my ex-wife did this, my ex-wife did that. Real men don’t tackle issues like that. It is all family stuff , nobody is perfect.”
