Brigitte Nielsen knows what you’re thinking. At age 60, she’s far too old to be a mom to a 5-year-old. “Half the world was saying that when I got pregnant at 55—including my four older sons,” says Nielsen with a laugh. “But first of all, there’s no such thing as ‘too old.’ We don’t say that to men who have children in their 60s, 70s, even 80s!” In fact, Nielsen would argue that her wisdom and age are exactly what make her an awesome parent. “You know how kids say grandmothers are the best? I feel like I have that mindset and emotion. I have the patience and that extra bit of love to give now, and I think it’s because I’m a grandmother’s age. When I was a younger mom, I was often juggling being single, being on a plane, on a movie set. Now Frida comes first.” She adds that she’s surprisingly even less tired now than she was with her earlier kids. “Maybe it’s because I knew what to expect, but I think it’s because I’m genuinely happy. It just boosts my energy.”
