“The Thought Of Marriage Is So Scary” Yvonne Nelson Opens Up On Marriage, Her Baby In Interview With WOW Magazine


Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson was in the news a couple of weeks ago after news of her birthing a baby broke online. She did not openly confirm it but kept her fans itching for news.

However, in a recent interview which she granted to WOW Magazine, the lovely actress has opened up about her baby, plans for marriage and motherhood.

We have excerpts below:

On if the pregnancy was planned

It was, and the truth of the matter is, it’s been something I’ve been waiting for since I turned 29. On my 30th birthday, I was in Venice, Italy. I remember the night before my birthday, I called my mum and I was crying. I was so sad, I was seeing someone else then and he was an ideal guy and everything. He took me there for my birthday and he proposed.

He’s somebody I would have loved to have a family with but he wanted me to move to London. My whole life was going to change because of him and it’s not something you should do. You don’t have to change your whole life because of a man, because of your marriage. I’m sure most people do, so in the long run it didn’t work out.

It’s quite funny because someone proposed and I didn’t get to have a baby for the person, and this person who hasn’t proposed, I’m having a baby for him, so it’s a vibe, it’s friendship, it’s understanding, it’s how the person makes you (feel). It’s not about someone putting a rock on your finger and you forget.

On how her mum feels about the pregnancy

My mum used to be so big on marriage; she was very traditional – marriage, then baby – until I got pregnant. It’s like everything changed. I guess your priority obviously changes to something else. She’s now more concerned about the baby.

On her experience with pregnancy

I was so paranoid because I don’t think I’ve been to the hospital ever, but I got pregnant and I had to got to the hospital like every two weeks. You know, all these different tests one must undergo and it’s scary because it (was my) first time. You don’t just know what to expect, people don’t tell you these things.

It feels like a minute ago, I was on the beach relaxing in my size 4 figure…. It’s so humbling knowing that I’m about to become a mother. Guess the best part? I can eat whatever I want without worrying my tummy would protrude. It’s already very big.

On her thoughts about getting pregnant before marriage

I believe if i say that, people might say i am not setting a good example but i think society is just too hard on most of us. The fact is it is good to get married, it is the right thing to do,  but then again as a woman, and you think you are getting to a certain age and you want to have kids and you meet a responsible guy who has not yet proposed and ants to do the same thing, it depends on you and him.

You can go ahead and do it, if you think the guy is right and responsible and he makes you happy, why not? Marriage nowadays is just ceremony and a huge wedding. The whole marriage thing, that name is just so scary.

On if she and her partner are considering marriage

Marriage is scary but of course, I’d love my child to have a dad around. We would have to have the ideal family setting. As I said, I can’t marry myself, someone would have to marry me. So yeah, when it happens I’d be glad (but) I don’t want to put pressure on anyone.
