Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has revealed in her new book, titled “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,” that she does not know her biological father, and her mother has chosen not to disclose his identity. The 37-year-old actress, who is a mother herself, shared this personal revelation in her book, shedding light on her journey to self-discovery.
Yvonne Nelson clarified that the man she previously believed to be her father, Mr. Oko Nelson, is not her biological father, and she carries the wrong surname. This revelation adds a significant twist to her life story.
The information surfaced after Yvonne Nelson also detailed in her book that rapper Sarkodie impregnated her but refused to take responsibility for their child. Additionally, she mentioned that singer Iyanya cheated on her with actress Tonto Dikeh.
An internet user known as Sel The Bomb, who carefully studied the book, disclosed that Yvonne Nelson remains unaware of her father’s identity. The relationship between Yvonne and her mother has strained, with over a year passing since they last saw each other. Yvonne Nelson, who used to publicly support her mother, has become estranged from her after her mother refused to reveal the truth about her biological father.
Yvonne Nelson also shared in a tweet in 2022 that Father’s Day is one of her saddest days in life, highlighting the emotional impact of not knowing her father’s identity.
The revelation regarding her supposed father, Mr. Oko Nelson, not being her biological father has deeply affected Yvonne Nelson, as she realizes her mother’s deception. Sadly, Mr. Nelson passed away in 2017 without ever publicly addressing Yvonne Nelson’s true parentage, carrying the burden of the secret to his grave. Yvonne Nelson has expressed her remorse and apologized to his memory within the pages of her book.
The current situation is that Yvonne Nelson is still in the dark about her true father, and the Nelson surname she has been using is not her rightful name. The revelation about her paternity becomes a significant plot twist in her book, “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson.” Meanwhile, Yvonne Nelson remains estranged from her mother, who has now become the antagonist in her life story, withholding the truth about her biological father’s identity.
