Veteran actress and radio presenter Jacqueline Nyaminde, popularly known as Wilbroda, has for the first time spoken publicly about one of the most painful experiences of her life—a miscarriage that changed her outlook on motherhood.
Speaking in a candid interview with media personality Alex Mwakideu on his YouTube channel on Friday, August 22, 2025, Wilbroda revealed that after the birth of her son, she became pregnant again but tragically lost the baby.
The Papa Shirandula star admitted the experience discouraged her from trying for more children. “After I got my son, I got pregnant again, and I had a miscarriage. That is what discouraged me from getting pregnant again because it was a very difficult time, and I really wanted to go through it alone,” she shared.
Wilbroda disclosed that only a few close family members and friends were aware of her loss, as she chose to grieve privately.
What made the miscarriage especially painful, she said, was the emotional bond she had already formed with her unborn child.
“I had already given her a name, I used to talk to her, and I was very excited. When the miscarriage came, it really hit me hard,” she said, describing it as one of her lowest moments in life.
Despite the painful chapter, Wilbroda said she has since found peace in raising her son as a single mother and no longer feels pressured to have another child.
“Even now, if someone tells me, ‘Jacky, why don’t you get another child?’ I tell them it’s not my wish. If it is God’s will, then it will happen, but as a human being, I’m content,” she affirmed.
