  • Supermodel Naomi Campbell revealed in her YouTube series that she had Bob Marley playing when she became a mum – something she’d wanted for 10 years
  • Hollywood’s Diane Keaton dated Al Pacino and caught the eye of Jack Nicholson, but decided to raise her two adopted daughters as a single mum

Stars starting a family after turning 40 might be a more common occurrence these days, but what about A-listers becoming parents well into their fifties?

Health guidelines might state that it’s extremely rare for women in their fifties to get pregnant naturally, but these famous ladies have not let that stop them from starting a family.

The British supermodel wanted a child for the past 10 years, reported various media, but she finally became a mum in May shortly before turning 51 years old.

“A beautiful little blessing has chosen me to be her mother,” she wrote on Instagram, captioning a photo of her cupped the child’s feet. “So honoured to have this gentle soul in my life. There are no words to describe the lifelong bond that I now share with you my angel. There is no greater love.”

Campbell initially kept quiet about details of the birth, but then shared in her YouTube series No Filter with Naomi that she “had Bob Marley playing” when she became a mum. According to British media reports, a source has said that Campbell intends to raise her daughter as a single mum.
