I skimmed the faux news articles which were all exactly the same couple of paragraphs. One did mention IVF but how could a woman that age even have viable eggs? Do you think her eggs were actually used? Boy, that's one old mama!
Sarah was 90 or 91 when Isaac was born, and she died at the age of 127. Sarah was 90 when Isaac was conceived, but there are some disparate records of her age at his birth. Still, it is only a matter of a very small amount of time, and she was either 90 or 91 when Isaac was born.
Yes, it's possible to still have viable eggs at that age, or perhaps she had them extracted a few years ago and frozen.
It's not *highly likely* to have fertile, ready eggs at 54 but yes, it can happen. The average age of menopause is 51 and *generally* egg quality is declining before that time but this is not entirely unheard of.

Even if you believe this as a literal thing, people don't live to be a few hundred years old anymore either so this probably wouldn't be support for the Nielson thing either way.
I believe it was Ursula Andress who had a baby the old fashioned way at 53! This was decades ago. 54 is not impossible but I would bet she bought the egg, had it fertilized and implanted. At 54, many women are still capable of carrying a child but most don't have good eggs left to make them!
But lots of men have children in their 50s and nobody bats an eyelash.
To be fair, it IS a bigger deal on the woman and therefore probably is legitimately a bit more eyelash-batting-worthy. The man only needs to have X% viable sperm left, but the woman will obviously experience a huge upsurge in several large hormone groups and will experience other bodily changes in order to carry the baby to term.
So it isn't just about her "old" eggs v. using someone else's eggs, or anything like that. So I do kind of understand this apparent double-standard, from a woman's POV.
As for Brigitte, she wanted a baby, she had a baby, congratulations to her and good health and much happiness to the new little one.
