Susanna Reid says Robert De Niro is 'self-indulgent' to have baby at 79

Good Morning Britain debated if Robert De Niro was too old to be a dad after the actor announced he had welcomed his seventh child at 79 years old.

The actor, who will hit the milestone of 80 in the next few months, revealed in a recent interview with ET Canada that he was no longer a father of six, as he has just welcomed his seventh child.

De Niro’s exciting baby news has sparked a controversial topic of conversation which was discussed on Good Morning Britain by Susanna Reid and her co-host Ed Balls, along with father-of-four Tru Powell, and founder of the Geriatric Mum blog, Lucy Baker.Tru said that he isn’t calling for a ban, but he does think that “60, 64 or 65 should be the end time to have a kid.” He said: "You may not be around for some of those major milestones, graduations, weddings, even becoming a grandfather from that child. “I'm active with my kids.

I love going to the sports days, I love playing with my kids and I wouldn't be able to do that at the age of 79." Susanna revealed that she could understand why people might think it was “self-indulgent” and “selfish” to have a child at an older age.
