'Breakfast Club' star Molly Ringwald wasn't a stranger to parenthood when her 40s rolled around; she'd had her first daughter Mathilda in 2003, when she was 35. In fact, it sounds like she was planning to add to her family sooner than she did. Ringwald recounts having surgery after Mathilda was born to correct a couple of issues including fibroids, which should have made subsequent pregnancies a little easier.
Unfortunately, that didn't prove to be the case. She and her husband Panio Gianopoulos struggled to successfully conceive again, taking six years to do so, by which time Ringwald was 41. It was worth waiting for when it happened though. She gave birth to Adele and Roman; twins! As well as acting, Ringwald has been a newspaper columnist, answering readers' questions on love, relationships and family. It sounds like she's well qualified to handle that role.
