CONGRATULATIONS! Another beautiful Mom having a baby at 40.
Massai’s going to be a big brother!
Ime’s much cuter then his name.
she’s doing it backwards, but whatever, her life…congrats…
THATS going to be a beautiful baby !!!!CONGRATS
Congrats Nia! It looks like win-win for her. She gets a baby and her son gets a sibling before her clock ticks out. Her man is good looking and younger. I am not mad. She is overgrown, mature and financially independent,has not set herself up to be anyone’s role model,not asking anyone to lend their time or tax dollars in raising her kid..why the 100+ posts is beyond me. Anywhoo….
Congrats to Nia! Look at that top pic of her, you’d think she had implants, she looks great and her boyfriend is FINE.
She did not set out to be anyone’s role model. At 40, she has lived life and is financially secure. She is not asking any of you teeth cluckers to pay your tax dollars or give your time to raise her kids.
If you are happily married, be thankful and let others live their life. I am glad she got in before that bio clocked ticked out, close call. I wish her a happy healthy pregnancy. Better still, though that is a big age gap, her son gets a sibling.
I never really thought about marriage because I don’t want to get married myself, but I’m just 21. So what does it matter to me right now. However, marriage is not taken seriously anymore. I think if you want to make a big commitment as having a baby, then why not get married. The people who up the population of single parents are teenage girls. And if they see from their parents that not getting married is fine, and then see that their role models brush to the side. Then how is that being a role model at all? Anyway, I am all for the marriage thing if u are deciding to have a baby by someone. If u were not planning to be with that person for the rest of your life, should’ve kept your legs closed.
But anyways, congrats to you nia.
Why are some of you worrying about Nia anyway? She have the money and the means to take care of her children. Guess Halle did have fertility problems…….she waited til she was in her 40′s to get pregnant!!!!! Hell is it ok for her but not for Nia? Some of you need to worry about your own marital problems and relationships. Congrats to Nia!!!!
Hmmm. I find it so interesting that so many people base a child’s or family’s well-being on marriage. Children need very few things in life- mainly: love, food/drink, shelter, and stability. This can come from many, MANY different places- marriage isn’t an antidote for all. Marriage is a man-made institution (yes, people, it really is- God made all beings, and we humans are the only species that have “marriage”. If God meant for only straight, married people to reproduce, gay or single people would NOT be able to, and EVERY married couple would be able to get pregnant… God doesn’t make mistakes); if the concept of marriage was never invented, healthy, happy families would still exist. I am not knocking marriage- I myself am happily married- I am simply pointing out the naivete in believing that morality and marriage and family-rearing go hand-in-hand. Someone above mentioned that people who don’t see marriage as a big deal haven’t had a good example- I am living proof that this statement is patently untrue. My parents have a wonderful marriage, as well as many of my friends’ parents, so I have had plenty of wonderful examples. I just am not naive enough to buy hook-line-and-sinker that marriage is a requirement for morality in a happy family.
Marriage isn’t about God, despite what your religious leaders have told you. It is an institution recognized not by God, but by humans- we are all one in God’s eyes, married or not. Rather, marriage is about your love to another, and legal status in society. Nothing more. So please stop judging Nia (yes, that’s what you’re doing, which is DEFINITELY against God)- she is woman enough to make her own decisions. And she certainly has the resources. I wish her a happy and healthy pregnancy.
Congrats to them!
I’m not saying that marriage is wrong for everyone. I’m saying that for some people marriage is not the only option. I, for one, will never be a single parent but if I had Nia Long’s resources (not her man’s) I might consider it. Many men I’ve met feel some kind of way about women who have achieved a certain status. That’s a fact that makes it challenging and close to impossible to find a true mate/match. I’m also the child of a marriage / union that created an extremely unstable environment. Marriage is not the end-all, be-all and it has nothing to do with what is right or wrong in your eyes.
It seems like the trend in Hollywood these days is for actresses to date ball players who were in grade school when they were in college.
I know that age supposedly doesn’t matter, especially in Hollywood, but I’m just sayin”. Nia Long and Kim Kardashian.
I say more power to them and wish them happy and prosperous futures.
How does two actresses make it a trend?
I know, right?
I just cited these two as current examples. Sorry I had no clarified. No harm meant…sheesh!
“not clarified”.
It is so interesting how others become touchy or hyper sensitive about some topics or others opinions. It’s just an opinion/exchange, no need for indignant outrage. If I’m not right then you aren’t any more “right” either in your opinions.
I see more and more there are a bunch of nasty low class winches that opine here.
Just to clarify, when I say “nasty”, I mean in terms of nasty attitudes conveyed in comments.
Men have been dating younger women forever. If a 40-year-old man had a 33-year-old girlfriend no one would bat an eye. But now that more women are dating younger men suddenly it’s a controversy.
