Being a mother is “soooo hard and beautiful,” says actress Yvonne Nelson.
In a Mother’s Day message, she shared with her followers on Instagram how becoming a mother has given her the real understanding of what the day stands for.
Nelson referred to motherhood as “soooo hard and beautiful” and also the “hardest thing I’ve ever done and still doing.”
She gave birth to her daughter, RYN Roberts on Sunday, October 29, 2017 with her boyfriend, Jamie Roberts by her side. The ‘Heels and Sneakers’ producer early this year spoke about why she decided to start a family with Roberts.
“Someone proposed and I didn’t even marry him. I felt like okay this is the right guy I can start something with,” explained Nelson to Blakk Rasta on Zylofon FM.
“It’s fate and can happen to someone at 25 but mine happened to me when I turned 29. I felt like this is the time for me to have kids and I need to start. Of course my mum is my role model, she had kids when she was young. Yes you will feel a little pressure as a woman but not to force someone to marry you.”
