25. Janet Jackson

We're officially expanding the definition here. 'After 40' doesn't necessarily have to mean between the ages of 40 and 50. Why should it, when famous people have proven that they're perfectly capable of giving birth to healthy babies when they're 50 years old? Step forward, legendary musician Janet Jackson; she's the one who's shown us all how it can be done.

For the longest time, it looked like Jackson was never going to have children. She's been married three times, and it took the third of them for her to finally make her a mother. Her daughter Eissa was born in January 2017, to her and her then-husband Wissam Al Mana. She'd been dating the Qatari businessman since 2010, and married him in 2012, but they separated mere months after Jackson gave birth. It's a shame, but we guess that's just the way love goes.
