Mariska Hargitay on life after 40

Tags: News , Quotes

Mariska_and_august In the summer issue of O At Home magazine, cover girl Mariska Hargitay, 43, said "it's such a blessing to get things later in life" -- and she should know.  As mom to son August, turning 1 later this month, wife to actor Peter Hermann, whom she married in 2004, and winner of an Emmy award in 2006, Mariska's life has changed dramatically in recent years.

To become successful later in life, to get married later and have a baby ... I'm a better wife, better mother, better actor.  I have the perfect life, and I want to take out an ad:  HANG IN THERE LADIES!  As my father always said, 'Life is what you make it.'

Wow, I so love her! She is such a role model. If I panic because I haven't had kids by age 40, I'll think of her.

Not to mention her son is so frickin cute!!!

Hey, she gives me hope and doesn't make me feel so bad for wanting to wait to have a family. She got the guy and the beautiful baby after 40. :) If she can do it, anyone can! ;)

She really seems to enjoy being a mom and seems lucky that she got a chance to be a mom, I know quite a few ladies in my gym who had babies around 40, and they give me the same vibe. Motherhood is great at any age, but when you wait so long like say Mariska has, I bet it's extra special. Same goes for jillian barberie, salma hayek, nancy O'Dell etc, who are all experiencing motherhood after 40. Defintley the last few years it's becoming more common for people to have kids later in life, which is great for all the woman who put their careers first or just don't find the right guy in their 20's or 30's.

Mariska me seems, is a safe and balanced woman that knows what it wants of the life. I imagine that she must be a wife and dedicated mother and felizardos are the ones that share of its happiness. She is a generous, pretty person on the inside and for it are, that it deserves all the happiness of the world.
