Kenyan actress and radio host Jacqueline Nyaminde, popularly known as Wilbroda, has opened up about a deeply personal experience that shaped her family life. In a heartfelt interview on the Alex Mwakidue Podcast, she detailed the pain of losing a pregnancy after the birth of her son.
Wilbroda described the loss as one of the most difficult moments she has faced, revealing that she had already bonded emotionally with the unborn child and had even chosen a name. The heartbreak was profound, leading her to grieve privately with only close family and friends.
She shared how the experience left her hesitant to pursue another pregnancy, a struggle she continues to face. While not ruling out the possibility entirely, Wilbroda noted that time and practical considerations now influence her decision.
Reflecting on her son’s independence, she expressed a wish to have raised her children close in age, saying, "I would have loved to grow with them." She also highlighted the challenges women face when having children later in life, including the career and personal sacrifices involved during pregnancy and recovery.
