bolded can be the problem, not necessarily the celebrity status. If he is in his 50s, forget about having kids, he is done with having kids. You cannot convince a 50 year old man to have kids. Not happening.

To me at least, I cannot picture having sex with a 50 year old.
I don't know his story but you're right, he's probably not into that. She is, she has bad baby rabies and at 42 is starting to reach that iffy part. I know she froze eggs but he may not be interested. Honestly, I wonder if he's even into marriage. I mean he could be (after all, George Clooney did)but him being older and successful says to me to watch out.

Yeah, Ive had friends date people who I didn't think would work (celebrity, or not). I did what I should have. Let them have their relationship.

I'm not going to discourage her, because it may work out. I just wonder though if it will. I hope she shows me and it works for her. I haven't said much to her about it except not to get her hopes up early on.

That's the advice I give to everyone, to go in slowly. I myself have gotten stung by going too fast.

I think my issue isn't that he's famous, but rather that I wonder if she is getting too fast too soon. So far she seems levelheaded so maybe for her it's only a fling. She seems into him but without her getting into it too much I don't know.

Just congratulate her and wish her well.

I would date a celebrity, but the chances of that is slim to none.

so many things wrong with this post

so what? a "celebrity" generally only means that person might make alot more money than you, they are still flawed humans like joe blow down the block

would i date one? sure, why not... but generally they arent accessible to me. i dont roll in the hollywood or entertainment biz circle... id like a shot @ sanaa lathan though

smh... and people here on c-d wonders why they will often see comments where men, especially men with means dont want to marry women as many are diggers looking to hit the 'jackpot' as you say.
props to that man for staying unhitched @ 50+ yrs old or whatever and keeping his paper and livelyhood intact, hopefully he continues to prosper and avoid getting sucked into the abyss of divorce, spousal and child support

You probably need to stay out of it. You're wayyyy too interested in her personal business all ready.

I must know what this is. I tried searching for it to no avail.

It's a saga... The OP is engaged to an alcholic who lives with his mom because she's so infuriatingly picky and impractical about her other criteria for eligible men that this is all she's left with.

It's been going on for years.
