She said: “I was quite young when I had River. I was 19, which I feel is quite young. I don’t regret like I did anything because I’m quite happy with where I am now. When I had Athena I was 21, which is a bit older.”
The announcement attracted both support and criticism online. The post received criticism from some commenters along with messages of support.
One comment under her post read: “I want to hold your hand as I say this – slow down. Contraception is no longer illegal.” Another stated, “Idk, I feel like girls these days have babies just so they can keep their content going. I’m not saying that’s the only reason, but I feel like it’s a big part of it.” A third read: “Do you really have other hobbies? 3 kids and you’re barely 25.”

I’m now 50 with 3 boys aged 32, almost 29 and 28 with 2 grand babies and one on the way! It’s the best!! Have them your little girls are beautiful!! You and.”
