Actress Yvonne Nelson has said while she believes it’s the right thing to get married before having kids, she is happy having a child out of wedlock.
The award-winning actress noted that society tends to always put undue pressure on young women when it comes to the issue of marriage and giving birth.
Yvonne Nelson welcomed her first child, Ryn Roberts - a girl - on Sunday, October 29, 2017, with her fiancée, Jamie Roberts.
While she managed to keep the pregnancy a secret, she was heavily criticised for giving birth without being married.
The actress told the BBC in an interview that was aired on Thursday that, “I believe it’s the right thing to do. To get married, have kids, raise a family is ideal but I believe society puts a lot of pressure on women, young women in Africa especially.”
According to her, what matters most is that “at the end of the day if my mum, my family is happy with me, I am happy with myself, that’s it.”
Yvonne Nelson had maintained in other interviews, after the delivery, that Jamie Roberts, a photographer who hails from Wales, is “the right guy I can start something with.”

Yvonne says she is happy n u ppl are here taking panadol for her headache .. some Ghanaians r so judgemental forgetting about how they themselves need help . Nobody has asked your kids or any youth to see Yvonne nelson as their role model. enough already...... u did same to Ebony now she's gone . Let Yvonne nelson be . she is happy go find what makes u happy.
Thats why producers want to sleep with you b4 giving I roles.i am you are a child outta wedlock
nobody hated ebony, we try to correct those we love. Ghanaians would try to push you to change because they love you. when your kids go wrong and we beat them, does it mean we hate them.
Yvonne you are right. A lot of Ghanaians are pretending as if they are holier than thou. That is the same way they treated Ebony (pointing accusing fingers at her) but mourning her after her death. Can people stop their hyprocrisy! Yvonne u are right, you ought to be happy, afterall u didnt abort the baby. Its my prayer that you get mnarried to your baby daddy. God bless u girl.
(what matters most is that “at the end of the day if my mum, my family is happy with me, I am happy with myself, that’s it.”)Good Yvonne you have spoken well BUT WHAT ABOUT GOD, IS HE HAPPY WITH YOUR ACT??? REF. 1 Corinthians 7:2.
f o olish girl!! u have given birth out of wedlock and u claim u are happy?
What a shame! Is peacefm lacking quality news or what?
Naive girl...you did it to please yourself and people...u had to dance to music but its a shame.ni bride price you girls are so cheap sometimes!!!
It is not just about being happy. it is about being right or wrong. The armed robber is very happy with his booty after a robbery, does that make it right. We have to refrain from using feelings to justify morality. As a start and a role model to our daughters, do you want them to follow that path. ...and we call ourselves a religious country. No religion tolerates such foolishness
