Actor and model Garcelle Beauvais, best known for her work on 'the Jamie Foxx' show and 'NYPD Blue', really had to fight to become a mother for the second time. She had no problem conceiving in 1991, when she was 25, during her first marriage to producer Daniel Saunders. Trying again during her second marriage to talent agent Mike Nilon was a much more arduous process.
The couple battled miscarriages and fertility problems for a long time but were eventually rewarded in 2007 when she had twins Jax and Jaid at the age of 40. She said that once she'd actually had the twins, motherhood was easier in her 40s than it was in her 20s because she was less worried about the potential impact it might have on her career. Regrettably, it later transpired that Nilon had been having an affair before, during and after the birth of the children, and they filed for divorce in 2010.
