On how she felt when people criticised her after welcoming her daughter, Yvonne said<\/p>\n
‘‘I am a very positive person. I don’t let all the negativity and all the bad talks get to me. I was staying positive. I had loved ones around me plus I had this beautiful blessing in my arms. It was all joy for me. I wasn’t listening to all the negativity outside at all. It didn’t really affect me at all,\u00a0<\/em>at the end of the day if my mum, my family is happy with me, I am happy with myself, that\u2019s it<\/em>”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yvonne Nelson remains positive about herself Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson gave birth to her first child, a girl last year on the 29th October 2017.
