totally agree donor egg. It’s no ones business how they got pregnant. However, these movie stars not divulging the truth creates so many misconceptions that it is possible to get pregnant in your late 40s naturally. It is not. IvF has close to a zero success rate by age 44. 43 is generally the last age a clinic will take you. After that they will only see you with donor eggs. Frozen eggs are an option, they removed the experimental status on those a couple of years ago. But natural? 100% no way.

totally agree with this. My friend is 41 and acts like she has forever to have kids. She often cites how many celebrity couples have kids older. This is an otherwise educated, intelligent woman. It's mind-blowing.

This is my thought as well.

Funny how you are trying to make a dig but are too dumb to find the right words.

My 82-year-old mom is, wait for it, a mom!

Don’t be daft, pp. You know what that pp meant.

She’s old, but she’s rich so she can buy all kinds of help. Plus, she doesn’t work and neither does her husband (he barely works).

The point is, PP is too stupid to be able to say what she means.

Feel better, pp?

Your dig at the poster adds nothing to this thread. You’re lack of self-awareness is mildly amusing.

Only if people are assuming it was a natural pregnancy. I don't see Cameron Diaz on the cover of People proclaiming she did anything in any way.

Yeah, not like that fraud Kenya Moore, parading her fake, squishy belly all around.

And like a pp, I think it’s weird that she opted to have a kid after decades of swearing she never would and going into great detail as to why parenthood wasn’t something she would ever want. Her kid will see those interviews someday.

I guess Aniston and Chelsea Handler are the only ones staying put in their self-proclaimed anti-parenthood camp. Although now that Chelsea is in therapy, on meds, and “woke,” who knows what she might do?

People are allowed to change their mind. People go through experiences that can really change ones opinions. She also met somebody she probably thought she could have a family with. If her kid sees the interviews one day I think it would have the opposite effect. She could say she wasn’t ready at that time but when she had her kid, she knew that the kid was very wanted and would be cherished.

I just think it’s funny. She was one of a select few actresses who were consistently very vocal about not wanting kids. She went out of her way to decisively proclaim she would never have kids. She was one of my friend’s heroes precisely because of her very public stance. And now she’s announcing her new baby which was obviously adopted or carried by surrogate. It’s just funny to me.

I doubt Aniston will ever adopt. I’ve always believed she’s too self-absorbed to parent. I’m on the fence about Handler; she seemed to have some sort of midlife crisis that prompted a complete personality change. We’ll see what happens.

Is it really that odd to you? People change their minds about having kids all the time and no one owes it to the child-free community to continue being a spokesmodel off they decide to have a child. Sometimes people think they’ll never have the stability they want to raise a child in. Others face health challenges, including MH, that resolve later in life.

One thing is for sure: you can be ambivalent for a long time, but it’s not something most women don’t have to make a final decision about at some point. Some women seem to make that decision very publicly in their 20s or 30s, but never get their tubes tied. I think that’s a sort of ambivalence.

It’s one thing to deflect or be noncommittal. Instead, Cameron was very public with her decisive, strident beliefs. As a celebrity, she knew she had a platform and her choice of words in interviews mattered.

Honestly, I couldn’t care less what any celebrity does. But it’s funny how this played out.

PS - all your reasons for normal people to change their minds don’t apply to an A list celebrity who had plenty of money to have a baby/buy a baby or take advantage of the best fertility technology over the last two decades. She probably did hedge her bets and freeze her eggs way back when she was doing interviews about how she never wanted kids. Can’t decide if that’s funny or sad?

It’s not your baby or your decision or your body or your life at the end of the day. No one owes you anything. Why are you so slavishly devoted to the words of a celebrity who has no idea you exist? Can’t decide if that’s funny or sad.

Whatever, pp.

It’s obviously her life and her decision. But the fact that everyone seems to know that she has been very vocal about not wanting kids (never ever!) should tell you that nobody is desperately following her every move. Rather, she’s put it out there for the last two decades which is why everyone knows this about her.

At the end of the day, she’s just a former actress in CA with a new baby. She hasn’t worked in a really long time. I wonder if she gave in and had a baby to give her an excuse to not return to work? Ya know, the same thing many dcumers accuse women of doing when they have a third or fourth just when the last kid was ready to start K so they don’t have to go back to work ;0)

She has more money than she’ll ever be able to spend. I doubt she’s worrying about what you’ll think of her “excuses”.

But the former A list actress might care what society in general think about her. “Where’s Cameron? What has she been doing for the last decade? Why doesn’t she act anymore?” Now she can say she’s focusing on motherhood.

She doesn’t care as much as you seem to.

She probably does.

She was the hot girl for nearly a decade way back when. She shunned the notion of marriage and parenthood. Remember that? She was living it up and got a lot of media attention—all positive.

Then she got married. She had several flops. She quit working, and you rarely saw her in the media. When you did see pics, they weren’t flattering (think: grocery shopping in sweatpants).

She might have been depressed. She might miss being a real celebrity. The baby gives her a purpose as well as positive media attention—not to mention an excuse for not acting. Win, win.

PS - I hadn’t thought about CD in years. I mean, when was her last movie or press tour? But pics of her pop up occasionally on sites like the Daily Mail, and they haven’t been flattering. I’m sure that stings after being the Hollywood It Girl.

Benji has always wanted kids. Like many couples, she compromised and now they have a daughter.

But at the end of the day she is a human and had emotions even if she is a celebrity. She may really have believed she didn’t want kids and now has a maternal desire. Who knows but being an a list star who had money and choices doesn’t play into a change of heart.

Sure. That’s fair.

And the fact that people can change their mind should perhaps prompt A list celebs to avoid taking such strident stances. Deflect. Be noncommittal. It’s not hard.
