But today Lopez takes his children with him everywhere – even on tours. So Max and Emmy gradually get used to publicity.

Kelly Preston

Kelly Preston, wife of John Travolta, gave birth to daughter Ella at 38 years old. Kelly wasn't afraid to give birth when she was almost 40, just like she wasn't afraid to get pregnant at almost 50! 10 years after the birth of Ella, Kelly Preston gave her husband a son, Benjamin (at 48 years old). In fact, the couple had a third child, son Jett, who tragically died at age 16, two years before baby Benjamin was born. The latter literally saved his mother, helped her recover from the grief she experienced.

Now the couple is growing up twins Moroccan and Monroe.

Susan Sarandon

The wonderful actress Susan Sarandon did not dream of children. In her youth, the star was told that she would not be able to become a mother for medical reasons, and Susan taught herself to live with this thought. However, when the actress was 39 years old, she suddenly found out... that she was pregnant! She gave birth to a daughter, Eva, from director Franco Amurri.

Svetlana Permyakova

The story of Svetlana Permyakova reminds soap opera. The actress wanted to become a mother at the age of 25, but could not meet a man on whom she could rely. At 35, she met the director of the art club, Evgeniy Bodrov, and married him, but the hasty marriage lasted a month. All this time, the husband sat at home, “hanged out” on the Internet and drank.

In April 2006 acting dynasty The Tabakov family was replenished with the newborn Maria Olegovna, the daughter of 71-year-old Oleg Tabakov and 41-year-old Marina Zudina. WITH early years the girl dreamed of becoming an actress, like her parents and older brother Pavel.


Olga Drozdova

Olga Drozdova and Dmitry Pevtsov, one of the strongest “acting” couples, were married for 13 years before fate rewarded their wait and sent them a son, Elisha, in 2007. The boy’s parents are still confident that his birth was a real miracle, because at some point they completely despaired of hearing children’s laughter at home, gave up on their dreams, bought and furnished an apartment for two, leaving no room for a nursery. So the news about Olga’s pregnancy came as a complete surprise to both. Dmitry recalled that he even burst into tears of happiness when he saw the test results.

At 42, Maria Poroshina gave birth to her fourth child, daughter Glafira. From common-law spouse She already raised Ilya Drevnova Agrafena and Serafima, and from her first marriage with Gosha Kutsenko - daughter Polina.

Rumors spread that the father of the child is Poroshina’s theater partner Yaroslav Boyko. Maria denied this information, but did not disclose the name of her real father.


Victoria Makarskaya

Anna Banshchikova

The star of the series “Bhound” Anna Banshchikova is a mother of many children. In 2017, daughter Masha was added to sons Misha (2007) and Sasha (2009). The actress was not afraid to give birth: “If the Lord sent me a baby, what doubts can there be?” The older children acted like real men and helped their mother as much as they could, so she didn’t have to worry about her work schedule.


Evelina Bledans

Syoma, as Evelina Bledans affectionately calls her son, was born on April 1, 2012, and 4 days later his mother turned 43. The baby was diagnosed with Down syndrome. The boy's father is producer Alexander Semin, with whom the actress no longer lives. The birth of a “special” child pushed Evelina to help her parents who found themselves in the same situation.


Syoma had his own website, where the couple posted thematic seminars on raising “sunny” children, and the boy also had pages on Instagram and Twitter. The main message that Evelina is trying to convey to others is that the birth of a child with Down syndrome is not as scary as it may seem from the outside.

Olga Kabo

In 2009, Olga Kabo married businessman Nikolai Razgulyaev, and three years later their common son, Vitya, was born. This is Olga’s second child - she has a daughter, Tanya (born in 1998), from businessman Eduard Vasilishin. But the first experience had already been forgotten, so the 44-year-old mother went through the growing up of her baby as if for the first time. As the actress admitted, her son brought the family closer together - now she and her husband try to leave all the negativity outside the house.


Evgenia Dobrovolskaya

The fourth child (and first daughter) was difficult for actress Evgenia Dobrovolskaya, 44 years old at that time. Last months Before giving birth, she could hardly stand up, she was afraid to move again. “They say that childbirth rejuvenates you. Nonsense! This is a powerful stress for the body,” says Evgenia. During pregnancy, she gained weight, which caused her vertebrae to become misaligned. Baby Nastya, who was born, also had problems with her spine. Fortunately, next to Dobrovolskaya there was loving husband, who shared all the difficulties with the new mother, found an excellent massage therapist for Nastya, who at the same time improved Evgenia’s health.


Inga Oboldina

In March 2013, actress Inga Oboldina became a mother for the first time. The 44-year-old woman gave birth to a daughter, who was named Claudia. Of course, Inga admitted, she was scared - her loved ones frightened her with stories about the consequences of pregnancy at such a late age. But the actress took the risk, and not in vain - the girl was born healthy and, according to the actress, completely turned her life around. It’s interesting that Inga found out about her pregnancy shortly after signing a contract to star in the TV series “Mom Detective,” and she finished filming 3 weeks before giving birth.


Lera Kudryavtseva

The name of Lera Kudryavtseva did not leave the pages of the press throughout 2018. The conservative public was shocked: not only had the TV presenter been happily married to hockey player Igor Makarov for several years, who is not much older than her son from her first marriage, but she also became pregnant at 46 years old. This is where there was scope for the bile comments of envious people. But, not paying attention to the insults, in August Lera became the mother of baby Maria, quickly got into shape and went out into the world again.

Many people will probably be surprised, but scientists have come to the conclusion that it is better to give birth to a child at 30–34 years old. It is at this age that the balance between health and social well-being is optimal. But some go further and give birth at the age of 35+.
Us in website I was wondering which one famous women took the risk of becoming a mother at a time when many are already “satisfied” with the role of grandmother.

Susan Sarandon

Susan Sarandon has three children, and she gave birth to all of them quite late - at 39, 42 and 45 years old.

In her youth, the actress was declared infertile, and she did not use contraceptives for many years. But completely unexpectedly she became pregnant, and then again and again. Susan says she was happy to feel stronger than any diagnosis.

Look how beautiful her children are. Yes, she herself is nothing for 71 years old.

Jennifer Lopez

For Jennifer Lopez, things didn't work out as easily as for the previous heroine. She wanted to have children for a very long time, but nature was adamant. Then the star resorted to the IVF method. Its essence is that the egg is removed from the body, fertilized “in vitro” and returned to the uterine cavity when it becomes clear that the embryo is developing normally.

The procedure was not successful for Jennifer the first time, but now she is raising wonderful and very desirable twins, whom she gave birth to at the age of 38.

Kelly Preston

Kelly Preston is the wife of John Travolta, who became pregnant at the age of 47, and this was a real gift of fate. The fact is that a year before this, the Travolta family suffered a misfortune - he died The only son Jett.

"Benjamin gave new life our family,” Kelly said of the baby’s birth.

Celine Dion

The singer gave birth to her first son, Rene-Charles, at 33, and twins Eddie and Nelson only at 42.

The singer had to go through as many as 6 IVF attempts and a cesarean section, but in the end she was able to give birth to healthy twins. She admitted: “IVF is emotionally very difficult, you always have to remember how lucky you are to be a mother.”

Halle Berry

The actress, it seems, really does not age, and this is manifested not only in the fact that she looks great. Halle Berry became a mother for the first time at 41, and gave birth to her second child at 47, which was a big surprise for her.

“I thought that all these experiences were already a thing of the past and that I was on the verge of menopause, but here’s the news,” the actress said about pregnancy.

Kim Basinger

Kim Basinger has one and only child - a daughter with beautiful name Ireland (Ireland). And judging by the photos of these beauties, you can’t even tell that there is a 41-year difference between them.

Ireland Baldwin appears in magazines and sometimes appears in films. Thanks to her resemblance to her mother, she played her heroine in her youth in the film “Slaughter Revenge.”

Gwen Stefani

The forever young rebel Gwen Stefani gave birth to sons Kingston and Zuma when she was already approaching 40. And at 44, she became a mother again, revealing her son Apollo to the world.

And how cool she looks with children - you can’t even tell that she is no longer a young mother.

Salma Hayek

According to Salma, she always dreamed of having children, but her health did not allow her to do so. And at 41, everything finally worked out.

The pregnancy was difficult, the actress gained 23 kg excess weight, but then was able to get back into shape. This is what she said about her late motherhood: “10 years ago I would not have been able to give my daughter as much as I can give now. She was lucky that she was born when I was over 40.”

Madonna

The Queen of Pop welcomed her first child, daughter Lourdes, at 36, and then at 41 she gave birth to son Rocco. In addition, the singer is raising four more adopted children from Africa.

“Before I had kids, I was very selfish, but becoming a mother has completely changed the way I think,” Madonna says.

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey became a mother only at the age of 41, and this was also not easy for her: the pregnancy was complicated by preeclampsia (threateningly high pressure) and gestational diabetes, and the babies were born by caesarean section. Mariah literally snatched her right to be a mother from the hands of fate. True, the singer, alas, broke up with the children’s father, Nick Cannon.

Monica Bellucci

Monica gave birth to her second daughter at 45. The actress admitted that she was very scared when she learned about the pregnancy, as she understood that at that age it could be dangerous. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and Leonie was born.

“For all 9 months, I never once went to the doctors with any emergency situation. Of course, giving birth at 45 is dangerous, and I don’t encourage women to do this, but I can say that motherhood is mine the main role in life. If I couldn’t get pregnant naturally, I would probably decide on artificial insemination,” says the actress.

We agree with Monica: it’s much easier and calmer to give birth before 35, but anything can happen in life. Of course, it’s somehow easier for the stars in this regard - they are rich. But, we think, each of us can give an example from life when ordinary women gave birth safely at an age when no one even bothers with the phrase about a ticking clock, right?

Not long ago, Janet Jackson confirmed that she would become a mother, and this at 49 years old. Soon she will turn fifty! However, when it comes to celebrity, age is not a barrier at all.
