Steve Martin Is A Dad For The Very First Time
"Isn't your dad the one who's snoring and drooling into his program in the tenth row?" is the question that a senior will ask Steve Martin's kid in 18 years at their high school graduation. But Steve Martin's kid will get to shoot back with, "Was your parent in House Sitter? Yeah, I thought not, so shut the fuck up!" Steve Martin's kid will get to say that unless the other senior is Dana Delany's kid. If that's the case, Steve Martin's kid will have to get another line.
Steve Martin is proving that you're never too old to wash away the baby diarrhea from your hands in the laundry room sink after changing your newborn's diaper. Page Six says that Steve Martin and his wife Anne Stringfield, who is Southern California's premiere Liz Lemon impersonator, are new parents to a baby born in L.A. two months ago. Steve is 67 and Anne is 41. A source type says that they are really private and they've been trying to keep the news a secret:
“They’ve had a baby, and how they kept it a secret nobody knows. Steve’s very private. They are thrilled. They worked hard to have the baby.”
I already hear some of you screaming about how Steve Martin and his kid will be fighting over the last Pedialyte in a year, but I applaud this. This is Steve Martin's first kid, which means he doesn't have grandkids, which means that up until a couple of months ago he didn't have a kid to yell at and boss around. Nothing makes me sadder than thinking about an old bitch who doesn't have a kid around to scream and wave a wooden spoon at.
So congrats to Steve Martin for ensuring that in the Metamucil phase of his life, he'll have a little kid to snarl at.

so... who's the father?

Oh, I thought Steve Martin adopted Matthew Broderick's sister.
HAH. When I first saw this photo I screamed "Oh my God, Liz Lemon actually MARRIED Gavin Volure??!!"
Whoa, this is some crazy shit, though - Liz Lemon has a doppelganger who isn't the mom of her 20-year-old coffee boy bit of crumpet. And Steve Martin married her. Wow. Mind blown.
it comes down to each their own, Foxxy. why would I give a fuck anyway. We've all got better things to do than worry about celeb babies. Why not Hughes Hefner with his child bride next? All I can speak for is myself and give my opinion on a subject.

lioness, really?
you think 41 is the same as 65 or however old he is? he aint seen 41 in decades.
yes, there is a point at which it is not very kind. bodies DO get old and tired. its a fact. even lively, vibrant, happy bodies do age.
and an 11 year old with a 75 year old dad is a pretty harsh reality.

No, but my husband will be 50 soon. Our twins are two, so he will be on Medicare by the time they graduate from high school.
What perfect world do you live in? People make compromises in life ALL the time. Some people choose not to have children, some cannot have children, some get lucky and have them at the "right age." There is no perfect way to have children.
Any child is going to have problems. That is the nature of humanity. There are people who have young alcoholic parents who they have to take care of too.
Sure there are risks with older people having biological kids, but there are risks with ANYTHING worth wild.
Life just doesn't work out perfectly for everyone.
45 is not 67. But I'm happy for you cricket.
45 is mature but not a senior citizen.
I only returned to correct my first comment where i was slightly off.

Old sperm doesn't make healthy babies. Both Martin and this chick are nuts.
Pretty selfish, in my opinion, to have a kid when you are 67. Odds are he will be dead before his kid even graduates high school.

This is going to be another "old people shouldn't have kids thread." Sigh.
I had my twins at 41. They are healthy, but I guess I should have been shot instead.
So the kid is going to be graduating from high school when Steve Martin will be like 84 years old? Kind of selfish.

@Bossy, dear Lord. @ Jeanneee has a point, no need to devalue it. Besides, who wants to live their lives statistically? We'd have to give up smoking, drinking, sleeping around, never get married and might have to relocate geographically, amongst other things. Tell New Orleans to turn it in bc of statistics or people in Tornado Alley or wherever. Life should not be based on statistics but the other way around.
Okay, so, like, I haven't been able to keep up with the ping-pong of people fighting on this thread, but this statement struck a chord with my memory of the D circa 2004, when it was dominated by gay men and brought much laughter and joy to my world.
"..this board that is combative when the majority is made up of mostly middle-aged pre-menopausal post-menopausal women.."
ON topic: as for old men having babehs..my mother always said when old men have babies, the babies come out all wrinkly and old-looking like their fathers. For whatever it's worth!

Who cares if they're both old? Doesn't matter if you're 20 or 80, you could drop dead of a gnarly flu, get shot, or get wiped out by a rogue city bus at any time. No reason not to have a kid if that's what you want. None of us is guaranteed tomorrow so we have to jump on today.
yup :D
Steve Martin is the epitome of narcissistic megalomania in Hollywood, and that's saying a lot (see also Dustin Hoffman). It's too bad olds like him procreate, but at least he won't be around when the kid is old enough to endure his inusfferable ego.
Why do people in their 50s-60s-70s-80s think it's a great idea to have kids?? Ugh. Well, at least the spouse can change both their diapers at the same time.
I hate human biology. Arthritic dickwads can have kids all the way to 100 if they want, but a woman is useless if she aint reproduced by 35 (unless she is rich of course and can birth out a pillow or have IVF twins.) Just another damn reason for me to say FML. :-(
Well, I'll bet the neighbors are just LOVIN' this!--Mama.
It's possible the kid may not be (biologically) his. They could have been aware of the risks of his age and used a sperm donor.
They also could have adopted. Acquiring a newborn could be termed working hard.
Anything's possible.
Congrats to the new parents.
I love me some Steve Martin, but isn't he a little old to be proving his dick works. Hopefully the kid doesn't come out a trisomy disaster.
My parents had me when they were both 45 years old. Since they were so much older than my friends parents I spent alot of my childhood being afraid they would die and leave me all alone. But I couldn't have asked for better parents. They loved me and even though I was not planned and I was a total surprise they never made me feel like I ruined all their plans. They played board games instead of running games,they read to me.My Mom was a stay at home Mom and spent all her time with me. She was my best friend. And in spite of my fears I was lucky enough to have my Dad until I was 40 and my Mom until I was 45. My best friend's Dad died of a massive heart attack at only 42.My first husband died at 45 when our daughter was only 7. So you never know how it's going to go. Steve could live long enough to see his kid graduate from college.
I don't think they're too old to raise a child, but they are definitely too old to be having a biological one. There are all sorts of medical issues and conditions that can be the result of women having babies too late in life, the risk of things like down's syndrome is increased exponentially with the mother's age. The same is true of men they are now finding out, because when a sperm cells replicate like all cells but the more times this happens (aka the older somebody is) the more chances there have been for a genetic mutation that will cause a birth defect. It is like if you print something and make a copy, then make a copy of the copy, then make a copy of the copy of the copy...ect for 67 years, that shit's no good anymore.
Yuck. Depressing.
But that's my reaction to all babies.

Steve Martin has enough money. Even if SM was in his 40's, the kid will be raised by nannies. Congrats to him and his beard.

I get everything you're saying, I really do. I just don't think it's LIKE OMG SO WRONG for older people to have a baby if that's what they want. Yes, they might die soon or have a baby with chromosomal abnormalities, it's not as if they would be immune from those things if they were younger. That's all I'm saying. I don't want to fight OK!

@ Jeanneee, we could all die any moment so who cares if we're old or young when we procreate? Let's do whatever we want! Yeah, that's silly. Statistically we know we won't likely drop dead prematurely and we also know older people are closer to death. We know life expectancies and family health histories (maybe he knows his family has many centenarians) and we can make choices based on that information. Now, can they have a baby because they don't give an F what anyone thinks or what it means to that kid to have no father before it reaches adulthood? Sure. Can we all have an opinion about it? Of course. But let's not pretend facts don't exist. Unless of course you really are living like every day is your last and you're robbing banks to jump on a plane to an exotic vacation location.

I had a friend whose dad was really old. I remember the first time I went to his house it was for his birthday (I think we were around 10) and a guy was in the room who was really, really old looking for an adult. When I found out it was his father I was floored. His father was in his mid/late 60s and his mother was in her late 40s; a scenario close to this one but slightly younger. It was totally bizarre. To me his father looked like what his grandfather should have looked like. He also had 3 sisters and they were younger than him. This couple just decided to get it on once they were both old.
My opinion: late 60s is WAAAY too old to have a child and I do agree that it's selfish because you are completely changing the dynamic a child should have growing up. If you're in your early 20s and your parents are in their 80s you're suddenly taking care of them and preoccupied with their health while the rest of your peers are using their childhood homes as safety nets while they find their footing in the world and are attending college (minds free and clear to study and advance themselves). Caretaker at an age when you should be figuring yourself out is terrible.
I also think 41 is very near the line where a woman should not try to have a child anymore. Hasn't crossed it but it's less than a skip away. Genetic abnormalities, complications, etc. abound.

Big Steve Martin fan. Artist, author, actor and comedian. Swoon a little. He was Mr. SNL as far as I'm concerned. Just saw a little movie about a bird competition with him in it. It was pretty good.
My 2 cents, she really wanted a child. He is in love and rich. He gave her a child. I want to say congrats to him and her but I feel in 15-20 years Steve Martin probably won't be here and then, when his child is going to college, falling in love and all those big life moments---He won't really care that he has money. He'll want his Dad.
Geez I dont know why anyone wants to go to Hawaii this time of the year? Its cold....low 80s, gentle trades. Turtles swimming up on the reef everyday. The whales are migrating and you can see several at a time. Too much fresh papaya, mangos, lilikoi and pineapple. The wild pigs are being hunted and then roasted in the pit wrapped in ti leaves. Served with fresh fruit chutney and a guava margarita gets rather routine. Falling asleep every night listening to the surf and seeing a full moon peeking through the palms with the moonlight reflecting off the water is ho hum.
No jt never gets old. It is a gift.

On one hand, I can't with people who expect women to be baby making machines. My lovely family wants me to pop more out, but I'm only paying for college ONE MORE TIME. Fuck. That.
Ladies who decide to have a career and have different types of fulfilling personal relationships besides being a parent can do just fine, too, and shouldn't be pressured into being a parent just b/c you have the plumbing (NO ROE VS. WADE REFERENCES ALLOWED).
And women who are GREAT nurturing mothers and have lots of kids are wonderful people, too.
And just how old was Steve when he went gray? Jesus christ!
