I WANT TO GET
MARRIAGE RIGHT – YVONNE NELSON
In a recent sit-down with MzGee of Joy News, popular film and television
actress Yvonne Nelson discussed the influence that growing up in a single-parent
household has had on her approach to marriage and starting a family.
“I was raised by my mum alone,” she said.
Opening up about her childhood, the ‘Heels & Sneakers’ star
admitted that her fatherless development is something that scares her
in making moves towards marriage.
“As a kid growing up, it disturbed me not having a father figure around.
I don’t want my child to go through the same thing,” she said.
Leading up to her 30th birthday, Ms Nelson revealed that she had
difficulty moving beyond pressures of marriage and motherhood.
As it turns out, she had the same expectations for herself that she grew
to feel intimidated by.
The former Miss Ghana contestant had expected to have a baby by the time
she celebrated three decades of life.
Looking back on her life so far, she wonders, “How did I get here?”
Despite the pressures, Yvonne is adamantly cautious.
“I just don’t want to rush into something and then in eight
months or in a year, I’m divorced and everyone is talking about it… I want
to get it right,” Miss Nelson said.
The problem, she says, is not a lack of suitors, but rather a lack of
certainty as to whether or not suitors are the right fit.
“It’s not like women like [me] don’t have men approach us. But you’d ask
yourself, ‘is this the right person?” she explained.
Speaking about life under the magnifying glass of fame, Miss Nelson
said; “People are always concerned about who I’m hanging out with, what I’m
wearing, where I’m sleeping, what I’m posting on Instagram. I don’t understand
[it].”
Despite not having reached her former goal of having a husband and a
family of her own started by the age of 30, the actress, who will turn 31 on
November 12th of this year, is determined that things will fall into place for
her soon.
“It will happen soon, in God’s time,” optimistic Miss Nelson said.
