Supermodel Iman had her first child in her 20s. She later married David Bowie, and they welcomed their second child at 45. In a 2009 interview with Parade, Iman says patience is the key to having a child later in life. “The difference between rearing a child in your 20s and one in your 50s is one of patience,” she tells the publication.
She also explained that although she conceived naturally, she initially tried IVF.
“People talk about the miracle of birth. No. There’s the miracle of conception. I did IVF, but nothing happened. So I began to think of adoption, and then I got pregnant. It was definitely a miracle.”
