Claire Danes Felt Shame Over Being ‘So Old’ for Her Third Pregnancy

When Claire Danes hit her mid-40s, she thought it was no longer possible to get pregnant. At 44, the actress would be proven wrong.

In an episode of “the SmartLess” podcast, Danes, now 46, recalled how her family grew when she unexpectedly became pregnant two years earlier. At the time, Danes, best known for her roles in Romeo + Juliet and Homeland, already had two sons with her husband, actor Hugh Dancy.

The third child with Dancy, 50, was an “oopsy-daisy,” according to Danes. “I didn’t think it was possible, I was terrified,” she told the podcast hosts, labeling the entire experience as strange. “I was so old when it happened—I was 44,” she said.
