Madonna – 41
Over the years, Madonna has adopted four children and given birth to two. The pop star gave birth to her first child while in a relationship with a personal trainer and actor Carlos Leon. Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon was born in 1996 when Madonna was in her late twenties. She then adopted four children, a boy named David Banda, and three girls, Mercy, and twins, Estere and Stelle.
Madonna shocked the world when she got pregnant again later in life. While married to Guy Ritchie, she gave birth to Rocco at 41 years old. Despite being in her sixties, the icon has said that she’s open to adopting more kids in the future.
Beverly D'Angelo - 49
Actress Beverly D’Angelo may be best known for starring in "National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation," but she also dated the one and only Al Pacino. Twelve years her senior, the two never walked down the aisle. However, the actress referred to their six-year relationship between 1997 and 2003 as a journey that came with struggles to start a family.
Using IVF, the couple was eventually able to finally conceive. D’Angelo gave birth to twins Anton and Olivia at the age of 49. While the actors split just two years later, they were able to work together as co-parents until the kids became adults.
Jane Krakowski - 42
Hilarious actress Jane Krakowski got engaged to British fashion designer Robert Godley in 2009. Even though the two never wound up getting married, their relationship did result in a child. In 2011, Krakowski gave birth to a redhead, Bennett Robert, at the age of 42! While the couple split in 2013, they’ve been able to remain amicable for their son.
She once said, “as a mother, now everything in life gets marked by my son’s age.” Many have wondered how Bennett got his gorgeous head of hair, as neither of his parents is a redhead. As it turns out, Godley’s grandparents both had red hair! Aren’t genetics incredible?
Iman - 45
Somali fashion model had her first child with ex-husband and professional basketball player Spence Haywood. Their daughter Zulekha was born in 1978 when the star was in her early 20s. However, the model eventually met her love later in life. When Iman met famous musician David Bowie in 1990 in Los Angeles, the two quickly fell in love and tied the knot just two years later.
They both wanted to conceive and after trying IVF for many years, Iman eventually got pregnant. She gave birth in 2000 to a daughter, Alexandria, at the age of 45. Unfortunately, Bowie died of liver cancer in 2016.
Marcia Cross - 44
This desperate housewife didn’t meet her special someone until later in life. When Marcia Cross married stockbroker Tom Mahoney in 2006, she was already in her forties. For this reason, the two decided to start their family right away. Using IVF, Cross was able to get pregnant immediately. She gave birth to twin girls, Eden and Savannah, in 2007 shortly before her 45th birthday.
According to "People," the actress was nervous about having daughters at first; however, she soon discovered what a strong bond she could have with them. She added: “I wish I'd met my husband earlier. It's sad having kids so late, because you want to be alive for as long as possible for them. It's simple maths, you know.” Rather late than never!
