Portia Asare sleeps in hotel with newborn
In an emotional Instagram post shared on November 30, 2025, the actress recounted the challenges she faced shortly after childbirth.
Portia Asare held back tears as she boldly stated that she had no roof over her head after leaving the hospital and was forced to sleep in hotels with her newborn child.
The style influencer explained that she had to carry all the postnatal items she needed to heal quickly, and her newborn’s basic necessities, from one hotel to another for three months.
In the most-talked-about video, she encouraged her fans, especially women, to have faith in God and believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
"There were times I had to sleep with my children in hotels, and I didn’t want anybody to know. I had to hide myself in places where nobody would notice. Imagine giving birth to a baby who is breastfeeding, and I had to sleep in hotels for three months. During this period, I was moving from one hotel room to another," she said.
"I never imagined that a time would come when I would share this to encourage people that whatever they are going through, they are not the only ones facing such challenges, as others are also experiencing similar difficulties. …There will be a day and a time when you will smile at the storm and say that this far we have come by grace," she added.
