Good Morning Britain viewers have been left divided over a segment on Wednesday's edition the ITV show debating the question: how old is too old to have a child?
Hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls discussed the topic following the news that acting legend Robert De Niro has welcomed his seventh child, just months before his 80th birthday. The Hollywood star was recently promoting his latest film, About My Father, when he corrected an interviewer who remarked that he had six children. "Seven, actually. I just had a baby," he confirmed.
In a debate over whether 79 is too old to have a baby, entrepreneur and dad-of-four Tru Powell branded it "selfish", pointing out: "You might not be around for some of the major milestones - seeing your child get married, seeing them graduate, seeing them in their careers, perhaps having your grandchild."
