Yes, he's another geezer dad.  Nature wasn't fair to women.  When it comes to fertility, women age out but men don't.  Healthy men can father children well into their 70's.  I went to college with a girl whose father didn't marry until sometime in his early 60's and she and her brothers were born when he was in his mid to late 60's.  Her mother, of course, was 30 years younger than her husband.


@chrystaltree  I sure as shoot wouldn't want to be pregnant in my senior years.

@puttypiesmom   Yeah, people never think about or talk about the kids.

A parent can die at anytime during a child's lifetime. To me, advancing age is no reason to not have a baby. A personal choice, as well it should be.

Maybe the baby will be a Billy Joel, Jr!!!  Billy is my absolute favorite entertainer.  I wish him and his wife all the best.....

@puttypiesmom  My father passed away when I was in my 20s.  And he was 38 yrs old when I was born - much younger than Billy Joel.

Remember Tony Randall was much older than that when he first entered into fatherhood. Alec Baldwin is having kids now too, I think he may be just 60.


Randall was 84 when he died, leaving two children, 6 and 7 years old.  Fatherhood at 77 is plain idiocy.
