48. Gwen Stefani

It was always a case of 'no doubt' that Gwen Stefani would have children one day; many of the lyrics of her band's hit album 'Tragic Kingdom' deal with her disappointment that she neither married nor had children with bandmate Tony Kanal. When that disappointment eased, she moved onto Gavin Rossdale of the band 'Bush'. Even then, she was well into her thirties when they had children.

She gave birth to the couple's first son, Kingston, in 2006 when she was 37. Second son Zuma followed two years later, at the age of 39, and then Apollo, a third son she describes as a 'miracle', arrived in 2014, at the age of 44. The later addition to the family was neither planned nor expected, and Stefani says being pregnant in her mid-forties fundamentally changed the way she thought about life. We hope she meant for the better!
