my husband was younger

Like… not really. No man would ever talk about having a “younger” wife if the age difference was only 4 years.

[champagnexdream]

To be fair, age is a lot different for a man when you're talking about fertility, which I'm guessing she kinda is/was? But maybe not

[januarysix]

nah, I don't think men should be having kids at 47.

[champagnexdream]

Yeah but I meant like, physical ability

[teddy_sinclair]

why did i always think that their age gap was so much more significant than a few years?

[lovepollution]

Right? I was sure it was 10+ years, probably because of how such a big deal was made about their age difference, but 4 years isn't even worth mentioning tbh.

[duchello]

probably because shes been famous since she was a teen

[sadmagikarp]

men being able to have kids at any age was a mistake. my husband was younger lol he's 47 to her 51 being a woman is such a scam

[rhenna_navi]

Women really do get the shorter end of the stick.

[alwayspolaris]

They can't, really - fertility declines in men at the same age as women. The cut off is less sharp in men (no menopause, though impotency is common), but the rate of success and the likelihood of a healthy baby (even with a younger mom) go drastically down. It is honestly reckless and negligent for much older men to try to have a baby because birth defects go sharply up and they will end up unable to raise those children to adulthood. Men need to realize they have a biological clock too and need to get on the same timeline as women.

Also note: we really don't know how many of these crusty old men with "late in life" babies are really the fathers. I suspect a not insignificant portion of them are not.

[dull_and_wicked]

my great grandma (who had zero filter lol bless her) would occasionally go on rants about babies born with issues because of "old sperm" vs any pre-existing family health conditions lmfao

[glitterslugs]

it's so depressing that a man can just leave at any point he suddenly decides he wants to use his dusty sperm on someone younger

[emmagigisky]

Didn't she freeze her eggs with that crazy ex?

[squirrels_oh_no]

Yeah and a judge ruled he couldn't use them without her permission and she said no.

[emmagigisky]

Good for the judge. Am wondering tho...she had intended to have kids, or else why freeze eggs?

[squirrels_oh_no]

People change their minds as their lives change. She could have realized she didn't want more kids just as Joe here decided in his late 40s he was ready and old enough to be a daddy.
