Marc Anthony Expecting Baby No. 8, His 2nd With Wife Nadia Ferreira

by

Marc Anthony’s family is growing.

The 57-year-old and his wife, Nadia Ferreira, who he married in 2023, have announced they are expecting their second child together as they celebrate a happy moment in their relationship.

Mark and Nadia celebrated their third wedding anniversary on January 28th with an Instagram post revealing they’re expecting another baby. The photo showed their hands – along with those of their 2-year-old son, Marco – resting on Nadia’s baby bump. They shared in Spanish, “What a huge gift life has given us. God is great.”

She finished off the post with, “Marquito is going to be a big brother.”

Nadia and Marc are now a family of four with their new baby! This is Marc’s eighth child, meaning the baby will have a large and loving extended family.

Marc Anthony has six children: Arianna and Chase Muñiz, ages 31 and 28, with Debbie Rosado; Cristian and Ryan Muñiz, ages 24 and 22, with Dayanara Torres; and 17-year-old twins Emme and Max Muñiz with Jennifer Lopez. Marc and Jennifer Lopez were married for ten years before divorcing in 2014.

I’ve always been fascinated by Marc Anthony, and while he’s usually private about his personal life, he has talked a little bit about what it was like raising his teenage twins. It’s nice to get even a small peek into that side of his life!

J. Lo says her teenagers, Max and Emme, care more about her and Marc Anthony being good parents than about their famous careers.

You know, it’s actually pretty amusing to me. My kids aren’t really interested in the details of what I do for work. They just want me to come home and be there for dinner – that’s what matters most to them, and honestly, it’s perfect with me!

With Marc and Nadia expecting a baby, let’s take a look at other Hollywood fathers who became dads later in life.

Marc told TopMob News last March that after everything that’s happened, he’s realized people will always get what they want, and their word is final.

“They’re great,” he said. “I’m so lucky to have a fantastic family and a wonderful wife. My son, Marquito, is a year and a half old, and I’m really enjoying life right now.”

He’s still happily with Nadia, the woman he was first linked to romantically in early 2022. He playfully told TopMob, “I’m glad my wife isn’t upset with me… yet. Give me a couple of hours, and I’m sure I’ll mess things up!”

J. Lo says her teenagers, Max and Emme, care less about her and Marc Anthony’s fame and more about how they are as parents.

She told TopMob News in December that it’s amusing how uninterested her kids are in her job. They mostly just want her to finish work and be home for dinner – that’s their biggest concern.”

With Marc and Nadia expecting a baby, let’s take a look at some other Hollywood fathers who became dads later in life.

The Academy Award-winning actor, who had never been married, was already a father to four children when he turned 83. He had a daughter, Julie Marie (born 1989), with Jan Tarrant, and twins, Anton James and Olivia Rose (born January 25, 2001), with his former partner, Beverly D’Angelo.

Al Pacino’s representative announced on June 15, 2023, that he and his girlfriend, Noor Alfallah, had a baby boy named Roman Pacino.

Before his baby was born on June 6th, Al Pacino told a photographer, “This is truly a special moment. I’m a father many times over, but this feels particularly meaningful right now.”

Oh my gosh, can you believe it? Robert De Niro, my absolute idol, had a baby! He’s 79 years old and still having kids! It’s amazing! He and his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, welcomed a little girl named Gia Virginia Chen De Niro on April 6th, 2023. His seventh child! I’m so happy for him, it’s just… incredible!

Robert De Niro has six children. He adopted his first child, Drena De Niro, in 1976 when he married Diahnne Abbot; they also had a son together, Raphael De Niro, in 1976. He later had twins, Julian and Airyn, with Touki Smith in 1995, and then son Elliot and daughter Helen Grace with his second wife, Grace Hightower, in 1998.

The actor explained to Access Hollywood that being a good father means understanding you have a duty to your children.

He admitted it was a puzzling and thrilling situation, but also frightening, and that everyone just tries to cope as best they can.

Despite seeming full of life, Jeff Goldblum was 62 years old when his wife, Emilie Livingston, gave birth to their son, Charlie Ocean, on July 4, 2015. Their second son, River Joe, arrived on April 7, 2017.

In 2022, Goldlbum called being a dad at 70 “revivifying”—because, of course he did.

He excitedly shared on TODAY that watching Emilie in her new position was incredible, describing her as “heroic beyond imagination.” He also talked about the ups and downs of parenting, admitting it can be incredibly difficult, frustrating, and unpredictable – especially with young children aged 3 to 7, who can be wild at times. But, he quickly added, it’s also wonderful and rewarding.

Mick Jagger, the iconic singer of the Rolling Stones, is still enjoying being a father. He welcomed his eighth child, son Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger, with ballerina Melanie Hamrick on December 8, 2016, when he was 73 years old.

Mick Jagger has eight children with five different women. He shares daughter Karis Hunt Jagger (born November 4, 1970) with Marsha Hunt. With his first wife, Bianca Pérez-Mora Macias, he has daughter Jade Sheena Jezebel Jagger (born October 21, 1971). He and longtime partner Jerry Hall are parents to daughters Elizabeth “Lizzy” Scarlett Jagger (born March 2, 1984) and Georgia May Ayeesha Jagger (born January 12, 1992), and sons James Leroy Augustin Jagger (born 1985) and Gabriel Luke Beauregard Jagger (born 1987). Finally, he has son Lucas Maurice Morad Jagger (born 1999) with Luciana Gimenez.

Meanwhile, the granddad of five is also a great-grandfather to daughter Jade’s two granddaughters.

Years ago, when asked about the challenges of being a dad while also being a rock star, Mick explained that being a good parent is difficult, no matter your job. He said it takes a lot of effort and time. He noticed his kids acting up while on tour – and realized they were simply mirroring his own behavior. He chuckled, admitting they were spoiled and acted accordingly.

As a lifestyle expert, I see this all the time with kids! It’s so common for them to resist bedtime or getting up in the morning – they fall into these little patterns of defiance, almost like they’re testing boundaries. Honestly, it’s a little surprising when it starts so young – I’ve seen it happen with kids as young as six, and you just think, ‘Wow, where did this come from?’

Like his band’s singer, Rolling Stones guitarist and father of six Ronnie Wood is a romantic at heart. He has two daughters, Gracie Jane and Alice Rose, with his third wife, Sally Humphreys. The twins were born on May 30, 2016, just two days before Ronnie turned 69.

In September 2018, Sally told Hello! magazine that she and Ronnie were feeling very content and thankful for their lives and everything they’ve achieved.

The twins adored visiting their dad at the recording studio. They’d put on their ear protection, and he always let them play with the equipment. It was clear he completely adored them and they had him wrapped around their little fingers.

Rod Stewart was 60 years old when he and his wife Penny Lancaster had their son Alastair Wallace Stewart in 2005. Their second son, Aiden Patrick Stewart, was born in 2011 when Rod was 66.

Oh my gosh, it’s just… incredible! Rod Stewart was 65 when he finally met Sarah Streeter, his daughter from when he was just 18 with Susannah Boffey. She was given up for adoption, and it’s so moving! Sarah actually said, after her adoptive mom passed away in 2010, that Rod really came into her life at that time, and she knew it wasn’t an accident. She said they were starting a whole new chapter together, and honestly, it gives me chills just thinking about it. It’s just… beautiful!

Rod Stewart has six children from three relationships. He and his first wife, Alana Hamilton, have a daughter, Kimberly (born August 21, 1979), and a son, Sean (born September 1, 1980). With Kelly Emberg, he has a daughter named Ruby (born June 17, 1987). He and his second wife, Rachel Hunter, share a daughter, Renee (born June 1, 1992), and a son, Liam (born September 5, 1994).

Paul McCartney and his wife, Linda Eastman McCartney (who passed away in 1998), were married for 29 years. Together, they had three children: daughters Mary and Stella, and son James. Paul also adopted Linda’s daughter, Heather.

Paul McCartney was 61 years old when his daughter Beatrice was born to his second wife, Heather Mills, on October 28, 2003. He and Heather divorced in 2008, and he married Nancy Shevell in 2011.

I’ve always tried to offer my kids advice when they needed it, especially when they were younger,” the Beatles legend shared on his website in January 2023. “Now that they’re grown up, the roles have reversed – they’re the ones giving me guidance! They’re pretty independent these days, but I’m always there for them if they need to talk things through.

The acclaimed actor and director, who is also a father to eight children, welcomed his daughter Morgan Eastwood with his then-wife Dina Ruiz on December 12, 1996, when he was 66 years old. He’s as busy with his family life as he is with his film career.

He didn’t meet his oldest daughter, Laurie Murray, until she was in her 30s. Born in 1954, she was given up for adoption, but she found him in the 1980s and they’ve been in contact ever since.

Clint Eastwood has six children from five different relationships. He shares Kimber Lynn Eastwood (born June 17, 1964) with Roxanne Tunis. He and his first wife, Maggie Johnson, are parents to musician Kyle Eastwood (born May 19, 1968) and Alison Eastwood (born May 22, 1972). With Jaclyn Reeves, he has son Scott Eastwood (born March 21, 1986) and daughter Kathryn Ann Eastwood (born February 2, 1988). Finally, he and Frances Fisher share daughter Francesca Eastwood (born August 7, 1993).

The Dirty Harry star also has five grandchildren.

Scott, who grew up in Hawaii and later moved to California to live with his father and go to high school, described his dad as “old-school” in a 2016 interview with Esquire. He explained that his father instilled in him strong values, like being punctual, reliable, and hardworking.

For 67 years, Martin lived with only adults in his home. Then, in early 2013, he and his wife, Anne Stringfield, had a daughter. They’ve kept her identity completely private, never revealing her name or any pictures.

Steve Martin once said that he wouldn’t have been a good father if he’d had children earlier in his life. He explained to AARP The Magazine in 2017 that he was too focused on his career to give a child the attention they deserved.

Looking back on his life, he realized it had been a steady climb towards genuine and lasting happiness.

Lust for Life was the name of the game for the two-time Oscar winner and father of 12.

Quinn had a large family, with children from four different relationships. He had five children with his first wife, Katherine DeMille (daughter of Cecil B. DeMille), followed by three with Jolanda Addolori, and two with Friedel Dunbar. In 1997, at the age of 82, he married Katherine Benvin, and they had two children together: a daughter, Antonia Patricia Rose Quinn, who was four years old at the time, and a son, Ryan Nicholas Quinn, who was just seventeen months old.

The actor and Benvin were together until his death at 86 in 2001.

In 2000, appearing on Larry King Live, Anthony reflected on his life as a father while living in Rhode Island. He stated he felt like a better father this time around, explaining his deep connection with his two youngest children. While he loved all his children, he hadn’t spent a single day apart from these two, and even one day away felt difficult for him.

Silent film star Charlie Chaplin had two sons, Charles Spencer Chaplin III (born May 5, 1925) and Sydney Earl Chaplin (born March 30, 1926), with his second wife, Lita Grey. He later had eight children with his fourth wife, Oona O’Neill, whom he married in 1943 when she was just 18 and he was 54—a union that her father, the famous playwright Eugene O’Neill, strongly disapproved of.

Chaplin and his partner remained together until his death in 1977 at the age of 88. They had eight children: Geraldine Leigh (born July 31, 1944), Michael John (March 7, 1946), Josephine Hannah (March 28, 1949), Victoria Agnes (May 19, 1951), Eugene Anthony (August 23, 1953), Jane Cecil (May 1957), Annette Emily (December 1959), and Christopher James (July 8, 1962).

Chaplin was 73 when Christopher was born.

In the 1992 film Chaplin, starring Robert Downey Jr., Geraldine played her own grandmother, Hannah Chaplin, a woman who had three sons with different fathers. She remembered that her household only showed Charlie Chaplin films, and her father discouraged watching other comedians like Laurel and Hardy. She believed this was because he felt insecure and couldn’t accept that another comedian’s work might be as good as Chaplin’s, as she told the Baltimore Sun.

As a lifestyle observer, I’ve always been amazed by Elton John’s incredible energy – he just never stopped! Through decades of touring, he kept going and going. But something truly special happened when he turned 63. He and David Furnish started the 2010s beautifully by welcoming their son, Zachary, on Christmas Day in 2010, through surrogacy. And the same wonderful surrogate helped them grow their family again, giving them their second son, Elijah, in January 2013. It was a beautiful new chapter for them!

John shared with The Mirror in 2016 that having children completely transformed his life. He realized that small moments with them are more valuable than any material possession or professional success – more than any artwork, photo, home, or even a popular song.

Furnish, who is twelve years younger than John, shared with the U.K.’s Sunday Times in 2015 that he’s thankful he became a parent when he did. He explained that nothing can truly prepare you for the responsibilities and life changes that come with it, and that he feels more confident in his career now than he would have twenty years ago.

The Piano Man welcomed daughter Alexa Ray Joel with second wife Christie Brinkley on Dec. 29, 1985.

Years later, at age 66, he became a father again when his fourth wife, Alexis Roderick, gave birth to their daughter, Della Rose Joel, on August 12, 2015. Their second daughter, Remy Anne Joel, arrived on October 22, 2017.

Billy shared how amazing it felt to become a dad after his son, Remy, was born. When asked if he’s involved in his children’s lives, he jokingly responded, “People assume celebrities don’t spend time with their kids, but we’re up when they’re up and sleep when they sleep.”

The well-known talk show host was married eight times – to seven different women, including Alene Akins twice (between 1961 and 1972). He had five children.

It just breaks my heart to even talk about it, but my idol lost two of his precious children. His son, Andy, and his daughter, Chai… they were both taken from him way too soon in 2020, just weeks apart. Andy had a heart attack, and then, unbelievably, Chai passed away from lung cancer shortly after. It’s just… devastating. I can’t imagine the pain.

Larry passed away in 2021 at the age of 87, leaving behind his son Larry Jr. (born in 1961 to Larry and his second wife, Annette Kaye), as well as his two sons with his seventh wife, Shawn Southwick: Chance (born March 1999, when Larry was 65) and Cannon (born May 2000).

In a 2015 interview with The Guardian, he explained that before his twins, Chance and Cannon, his career was his top priority. He loved his children and strived to be a good dad, but work always took precedence. He later realized this came at a cost, as family life is ultimately the most important thing.
