[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the thing: if Stamos or Baio or any other rich guy has a baby with a much younger woman, it’s NBD because the mom will presumably live longer and will have plenty of money when the old rich guy dies.

Anderson doesn’t have a much younger partner. He has a somewhat younger ex. Not the same thing. [/quote]

Stamps is married to a 30-year-old. Cooper is partnered to a 40-year-old. Both have guardianship rights over kids. Both have been there since birth. Both have access to substantial trusts.

Just say you’re bigoted and go.[/quote]

I don’t think most people thought an old man having children with a much younger woman was ever ok - it has always been weird and assumed he was largely absent. Think Tony Randall. You must be poor if you think having a substantial trust makes up for a dead or absent parent. Anderson Cooper was tossed in luxury and remains marked deeply by the absence of his father. When you get to a certain age it is selfish to have a baby. It is about you wanting that experience not about the child. That’s applies to Hoda as well. Richard Gere had a baby at 70! I mean what the actual? [/quote]

I saw a clip of Rod Stewart on Graham Norton, and he told what he thought was a funny story about one of his kids. Background: Rod has had a lot of wives, and he has a bunch of kids—including some who are very young…and he’s super old. Think: legit geriatric. His story was essentially that he called home and one of his kids answered, and when they yelled for their mom to pick up they said, “Mom, Rod Stewart is on the phone.”

He thought it was funny.

I immediately thought it was sad. He’s not a dad in the traditional sense. He’s the old guy who is never around but pays the bills. I think Cooper probably isn’t that bad, but possibly pretty close. He works a lot. So does Hoda. Most celebs have a stay at home spouse who is the primary parent. Coopers kids are more like fun accessories. I suspect Elton John’s kids are in the same boat. Unmarried Madonna is the same situation, and look how that turned out; her son opted to stick with Guy Ritchie who built a new, intact family. [/quote]
