How is this even possible? Men can still have children at that age?!

How revolting and irresponsible. Obviously the mother did this for the handout she's going to get. i can think of no other reason a woman would sleep with a short ancient and not good looking man.

His wife is 46 and they had been married 8 years, it's possible this wasn't planned/they thought it wasn't possible

However he has apparently said he wants more children 🙄

I thought Rod Stewart was a goer but Bernie takes the cake

Well it is really sad to have a baby that will definitely lose his father at a young age.
At 46 then it is surprising that she got pregnant, as an older woman with a much older man really lowers the odds, which are low at 46 anyway. It seems really unfair on the little boy.

I suspect he’s a much loved little boy who will be well provided for, his mothers likely to be around for many years too. It’s highly unusual but there an awful lot more worth getting fired up over.

as a what the fuck moment though yes it’s not at all the norm is it?

In April 2012, Ecclestone announced his engagement to 35-year-old Fabiana Flosi, vice-president of marketing for the Brazilian Grand Prix; the couple married in August the same year.[93] She is 46 years his junior.[94] In April 2020, it was revealed the pair were expecting a son due weeks before Ecclestone's 90th birthday.[95] Ecclestone announced the birth of Alexander Charles Ecclestone (Ace) on 1 July 2020.
It's a bit off to suggest she's been with him a decade on the off chance she'd get some of his money if she had a child with him. It's either a child tried very hard for at 46 or a massively unexpected surprise.

I hope it does not give Mick Jagger or Boris Johnson ideas.

Letitrainletitrainletitrain · 01/01/2023 11:47

Boris Johnson is 58, that's hardly in the same age bracket

Hoppinggreen · 01/01/2023 11:49

He’s 92 and she’s 46, does anyone actually believe this was a completely natural surprise?
Having said that it’s their choice and at least the child will be financially supported even if he doesn’t have his father in his life as he gets older

SleepingStandingUp · 01/01/2023 18:47

She's have conceived at 43 so hardly too late, not sure what make fertility is like if he can get it up. But if it wasn't planned, then it was very much planned and loved. Plenty of single minds would kill for that bank balance

Aquamarine1029 · 01/01/2023 18:53

If people have the means to properly support their child, I don't care how old they are. It's none of our business.

Fuckitydoodah · 01/01/2023 18:56

Maybe they had fertility treatment. A 90 year old having a baby doesn't sit right with me.

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 01/01/2023 19:02

I lost my father at an early age (through bad luck, he wasn’t old). It’s shit. Anyone who knowingly inflicts this on a child is selfish in the extreme IMO.

Bernie Ecclestone the billionaire?

RudsyFarmer · 01/01/2023 19:21

I think it would be fair to assume IVF given both their ages and the HUGE amount of money he has.

wherearebeefandonioncrisps · 01/01/2023 19:36

Looking forward to seeing him in the dad's race in three years' time.
