EXCLUSIVE: This Morning's Emma Kenny speaks to OK! about becoming a mum at 50, her new approach to parenting and her latest project with crime author Ajay Chowdhury
After trying for a baby for a decade, last month TV psychologist Emma Kenny revealed she’d given birth to her third child at the age of 50. The This Morning star, who’s already a mum to sons Tyde, 20, and Evan, 18, introduced gorgeous Etta-Blue in a surprise social media post.
“I felt a great deal of selfishness all the way up until giving birth,” she tells us. “There are moments when I think, ‘I wish I could have another 20 years with etta.’ I could beat myself up about it, but my best friend died at 43, so you don’t always get the time that’s promised to you. I’ll have conversations with Etta about it as she gets older.”
In 2022, more than 2,000 women over 45 in the UK gave birth, and Emma is sure that being a mum at 50 has its own benefits. “I breastfeed, I co-bed share and it feels very natural. When I had my boys, I was a single mum and I was so broke. Now I’m not broke. Also, I can have her with me 24/7 because she can be with me while I work. I didn’t have that with the boys and it was hard saying goodbye to them when I went to work.
Her difficulties were a factor behind her decision to keep her pregnancy a secret. “The only people who knew were my family and two friends. I didn’t tell anyone else because I thought if I said it, I wouldn’t get my baby home,” she tells us. Following Emma’s announcement of Etta’s birth, young women have told her she’s given them hope for the future.
