What to make of Jeff Goldblum?

Lucky man… I’m 37 and no children.

He’s also really tall – like 6’5” or so.

The way I see it, if he can get it up at 62, why shouldn’t he use it?

62 and pregnant.
As he said, life finds a way.

Sounds like he’s found someone to love and they’ve now both got a new person on the way to love. Good luck to them.

I could boil his bones and make glue. He’s skinny so I could fold him into a paper airplane, I could cover him in wax making a wax figure like that movie Paris Hilton was in.

He’s weird.

“32-year old former Olympic gymnast”

He is a blessed man.

37 year old male and I don’t want kids. I’m not really sure what my status has to do with how I should feel about his current situation.

Now if he had married and knocked up a 21 year old stripper I would infer some things from their relationship. But she is 32 and can probably take care of herself. I’m sure shouldn’t need to worry about money if she taught gymnastics.

I have this odd feeling overcome me at times that if I died or my husband and I got divorced he would remarry and have a brand new life with a younger woman and have children. Of the two of us, he is the one most apathetic about having children. I’ve had fertility troubles and it bother amd saddens me much more than it does him. He will go along with me wanting children though, even now. I think if his next wife (if there ever is one) wanted kids he wouldnjust go along with it with her too. I also think he would love having children, even if he doesn’t know it.

It’s insecurity on my part, and also that I think he would have been a good father and find joy in his children.

Anyway, I’m just projecting why I think my husband could wind up in a similar situation. I don’t know Jeff Goldblum’s real reason. Has he been married before? Did they have fertility troubles? Did he think he never wanted kids previously? I don’t know why he did what he did.

For the first time in his adult life Jeffy forgot to pull out. Big F’n deal! The fact that his wife is 30 years younger than him is irrelevant….that is what Hollywood is made of and Hollywood is as shallow as it gets. To me…the sad part is, odds are this kid won’t have a father around to see him/her graduate High School 18 years from now nor walk them down the isle when they get married.

@Cruiser Yes, that’s what gets me about old dudes becoming fathers. It seems kind of selfish.

He’s a lot younger than Tony Randall was. Randall got married when he was 75 and then had two kids.

^^ Yes, an even stronger example but I try not to judge other people’s actions (more than is necessary. :-))

the kid will still have a mother. and probably even an adoptive father.
why do people freak out just because the semen-giver dies?

^^ Because it hurts to lose your semen-giver or your uterus-lender at a young age.

Thanks for your responses. I ask because I’m over 40 and childless myself (no nieces or nephews either). It’s not the end of the world, but I’m having a hard time accepting that it’s too late, mainly because I don’t know if it really is too late. It seems whenever I start to face it, I see another one of these stories about male celebrities over 50 having kids.

I have to make up my mind about this, because among other things, if I do want kids, then that means I can’t date women my own age. Now here’s Jeff at 62 with a wife in her prime and a gymnast to boot. I won’t say I want his life, but day-yum.

There are many women who would not have an issue with having kids with a good man over 40.

Over 40 is not the same as over 60 or over 70 and I agree there are many women 35–40 who would be looking to have children with a good man.

I agree with @janbb that over 60 is very different than 40 something, which is still an older age to have children. At least Jeff has plenty of money so the children will be cared for if he does within the next 20 years. Aside from the money, losing a parent at a young age is profoundly life changing.

Chances are that if he is 62, he will be around to see the child graduate from high school because he’d be 80 then. Most people now are alive into their 80’s, especially celebs who typically seem to have the best health care and last a long time.

I say if he is a good dad and a good caretaker, more power to him. Not a big deal to me and as said above, not as bad as Tony Randall.
