It’s the fourth child in four years for the couple, who married in 2012. The pair are already parents to daughter Carmen, four, son Rafael, two, and son Leonardo, 18 months, while Alec also has 22-year-old daughter, Ireland, from his previous marriage to actress Kim Basinger.

While many fans jumped to wish the couple congratulations, some, of course, wondered what the kids’ lives will be like with an older father.

“I guess she’s okay with these kids not having a father to see them through all their milestones!” one commenter quipped on Instagram. 

Others simple wished them well. “Yay!!!! Congrats on such a beautiful family,” said one fan.

The increasing trend of having babies later in life is a big change to previous generations. In the 1920s, the most common ages to have babies were between 20 and 29, and that remained the same in until the ’80s, when working women started having babies later in life. 

Could you imaging having a newborn in your 60s? How old were you when your first child was born?
