Janet Jackson – 50
Janet Jackson’s third marriage was to businessman Wissam Al Mana. The couple tied the knot in 2012 and welcomed a son five years later. Eissa was born in 2017 when Jackson was 50 years old. It’s unlikely the pop singer was able to conceive naturally. Reports claim she used donor eggs and IVF to get pregnant, but neither has been confirmed.
Jackson had a safe and healthy delivery and now has a toddler on her hands. In interviews, she has said that her whole day revolves around her son now, requiring patience she never knew she had. Unfortunately, Al Mana and Jackson split the same year their son was born.
Jennifer Connelly - 40
Actress Jennifer Connelly first met her husband and fellow actor, Paul Bettany, on the set of "A Beautiful Mind.” They held a private wedding ceremony in Scotland in 2003. Before their relationship, the actress dated photographer David Dugan. Together they have a son, Kai, who was born in 1997.
Connelly went on to have two more children with her husband, the first being a son named Stellan the same year they were married. The couple’s third child, a daughter named Agnes, was born in 2011. Connelly was 40 years old at the time and knew it would be her last baby. In an interview with Allure, she said, “I knew that we were going to be done after number three. That's enough for us." Three is more than enough for most people!
Kim Basinger - 41
Former model and actress Kim Basinger was briefly married to Alec Baldwin from the years 1993 to 2002. The couple initially met on the set of the film "The Marrying Man," in which the two played lovers. Their on-screen romance quickly transitioned to their real lives, and they tied the knot three years later.
Together, the couple has one child. Their daughter, Ireland, was born in 1995 when Basinger was 41 years old. She has followed in her mother’s footsteps working as both a model and actress over the years. Basinger and Baldwin ultimately split in 2000 and finalized their divorce in 2002.
Geena Davis - 46 & 48
Actress Geena Davis appears to be unlucky in love. It wasn’t until her fourth marriage in 2001 to neurosurgeon Reza Jarrahy that she gave motherhood a shot. The couple has three kids together. Their daughter Alizeh was born in 2002 when Davis was 46-years-old. Then two years later, she gave birth to twin boys, Kaiis and Kian.
While some would consider this relatively late in life to start a family, Davis has said that it was perfect timing for her. Others may have had things figured out in their thirties or early forties, but Davis admits that it took her a bit longer. Jarrahy ultimately filed for divorce in 2018. However, Davis responded with a petition claiming the two were never legally married.
Molly Ringwald - 41
80s child star, Molly Ringwald, who got her claim to fame in the movie “The Breakfast Club,” married her second husband, Greek-American writer, and book editor Panio Gianopoulos, in 2007. Together they have three children. The couple’s daughter Mathilda was born in 2003 when Ringwald was still in her thirties.
Getting pregnant again proved to be difficult for Ringwald as she experienced some health issues that needed to be addressed. After having surgery to remove several fibroids, Ringwald was able to get pregnant again. This time she wound up giving birth to twins, Adele and Roman, in 2009 at the age of 41.
