These famous faces lost their lives on October 31
In recent years, the average age at which most people have their first child has been increasing. Women are no longer obliged to stay at home and raise children the way they once were, which leads many to have children later in life after reaching a certain level of success and maturity. In the US, the median age for women to give birth reached 30 for the first time in 2022.
Meanwhile, in Hollywood, parents seem to be getting younger and younger! Many stars from every generation have had kids young for a variety of reasons, but it's strange to see that the trends among celebrities don't match the wider population. Some of the biggest stars of the new generation have settled down in their early to mid-twenties, getting married and having babies. Does the spotlight age them beyond their years? Or is it the financial independence that makes the greatest difference?
