Stars Who Waited to Have Children Until Later in Life
While some celebrities choose to start growing their families early on, there are those who decide to wait until later in life to have children. These stars have embraced parenthood at an older age, proving that there is no perfect time to start a family.
Alanis Morissette, the iconic singer behind hits like “Ironic,” surprised fans in March 2019 when she announced that she was expecting her third child at the age of 44. Morissette, who tied the knot with rapper Mario “Souleye” Treadway in 2010, shared a beautiful baby bump photo on social media with the caption, “So much NEWness.”
Already parents to son Ever, born in 2010, and daughter Onyx, born in 2016 when Morissette was 41, the couple welcomed their newest addition, son Winter, in August 2019.
Joining Morissette in the realm of late motherhood is Brigitte Nielsen, who at the age of 54 announced in May 2018 that she was expecting her fifth child with husband Mattia Dessi. The former Playboy model candidly spoke about her IVF journey, expressing her determination to continue until there were no embryos left, eventually leading to the birth of her daughter, Frida.
These women are not alone in their decision to become mothers later in life. Other notable celebrities who have welcomed children over the age of 40 include Alyssa Milano, Janet Jackson, and Christie Brinkley. Each of these women has embraced motherhood on their own terms, shattering stereotypes and proving that age is just a number when it comes to starting a family.
