To the people questioning his age at becoming a father-- his mother just died within the last year. She was 43 when she had him and still lived to see him past his 50th birthday. So I think genetics are on their side.

He was close with his mother, and she was quite a character with a remarkable life story. If anyone hasn't seen the documentary about them, Nothing Left Unsaid, I highly recommend it. I found it really uplifting, and it stayed with me for a long time.

It's not ideal, but he's wealthy and fit - his mom lived to age 95. Kid will be just fine.


So as long as the man is fit, rich and we verify a parent lived a long life, men in their 50s can now procreate with 20- and 30- women without being vilified?

He's 52. Not exactly Tony Randall.


Ahh, so to rationalize the hypocrisy you deploy hyperbole on the very extreme end of late fatherhood (Tony was in his 70s). Suddenly the goalpost is moved — now 50-something isn’t too old? Yet when Fergie’s ex Josh Duhamel — age 46 — wanted kids, it was 20+ DCUM pages of ewwww gross old man! Same for Alex Baldwin, who was in his 50s when he and wife Hilaria began having kids.

Too bad he couldn't adopt from foster care.

He's too old. Should have picked up this hobby 10 years ago if this is what he wanted to do.

But I wonder why he waited so long. He’s 52. Does he have a younger partner? Who will raise this kid if he dies? Who will be this kid’s family after he’s gone?

I know he has money and can buy help. But why didn’t he do this 10 years ago? Or even 5 years ago?

I know plenty of older men have kids. But they typically have younger partners. Does he? I hope so.


I was wondering the same thing - I never understand why celebrities wait so long - I wouldn’t have made much of a difference to his career if he did it 10 years ago. Did he just wake up at 50 and realize his mortality?

I hate that this baby, who is deeply wanted and loved already, is going to face crappy people like some of you.


I'm sorry you feel that way. But doesnt it give you some pause? This is a happy version of handmaid tale where women are paid to be an egg and uterus. Babies need mothers and you are creating babies without their mothers!

Dont compare situations where mom has died or is a crappy mother.


No, it doesn't give me any pause. These women are not coerced into being donors and surrogates - my friend's egg donor is a friend who offered, and the surrogate is a happy mother and wife who loves being pregnant and feels what she does is important.

Babies need loving parents, not mothers.

On DCUM, it's only gross when it's an older man sleeping with a younger woman. Otherwise, it's beautiful.

Before the red-pill accusations come out, I am a woman and married to a man my age.
