Yvonne Nelson's daughter celebrated her eighth birthday on October 29, 2025. The handlers of her personal Instagram page shared a photo of the little girl bonding with her grandmother on Thursday, October 30.
In the photo, Ryn, whom the actress welcomed on October 29, 2017, with her British baby daddy and former photographer Jamie Roberts, beamed with a smile as Madam Margaret held her in her arms at the premises of a plush residence.
Yvonne Nelson's daughter looked cute in her short-sleeved shirt and appeared to enjoy her private moment with her grandmother, who watched her with happiness and pride.
The photo of Ryn with Madam Margaret marked a rare public appearance by the latter, with whom Yvonne has had a strained relationship over the years regarding questions about the identity of her biological father.
In her 2023 memoir titled 'I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,' which touched on her life story, including her career and personal struggles, the actress detailed that she had not had an encounter with her mother since her birthday in 2022.
She recounted a heated confrontation she had with her mother before cutting off personal communication with her and detailed how their strained relationship had emotionally impacted her life.
Counsellor on Ryn's bond with her grandmother
Speaking to YEN.com.gh in an interview, Ama Nsroma, counsellor and head of the Nsroma Consult, spoke about the emotional effects a public rift between a mother and grandmother can have on a young child like Ryn.
She also detailed how brief, positive encounters like birthdays can help heal long-standing family wounds, especially for children involved.
She said:
"When there’s tension between a mother and grandmother, the child often feels caught in the middle. It can create confusion and emotional insecurity."
"But special moments like birthdays can become healing points. They remind everyone of the love that still exists beneath the pain. If both sides stay open-hearted, even brief positive encounters can start the journey toward reconciliation and peace for the child."
