Celebrity moms who welcomed children after their 40s

Although late pregnancy comes with some complications, that hasn’t stopped plenty of celebrities from having children after their 40s.

Rapper Da Brat announced she, along with wife Jesseca ‘Judy’ Harris-Dupart, are expecting a baby. The rapper is 48, and said she thought she wasn’t never going to have kids.

“I never thought I was going to have kids,” she said. “I just thought it wasn’t in the cards for me. I’ve had a great career, a full life. I felt like, because I didn’t get pregnant earlier on, then it just wasn’t going to happen for me.”

Here’s a look at some other celebrities who opted to have children after they hit their 40s.
