well someone is a real fan
Yeah but they're adults, so why not have a family now? Bright Side just made look like theyre kids when they're all like... 22 or 23 years old... Or older?
You know, all these people are adults so of course it's fine if they have kids. Probably just Jamie Lynn Spears who isn't as old but the others are adults and are totally allowed to have kids if they want. Unless they had kids when they were teens or in their early 20s or something then it's acceptable that they grew up too early. You should have told us when they had their kids. Some people don't know how old these people are... So... Dont make up a website with famous people who had kids when they were ADULTS. tell us the age then we'll decide. but love you're channel though???
wow
Yes ? agree (tho it is pretty fun having a young mum or dad and early 20s is the best and healthiest age to have kids if you want them?). I think what the sight is saying cuz they're famous and it doesn't feel very long since seeing them young and acting on TV shows it's pretty hard to believe they're rents now and how old theyve already got?much less said for the young parents
i half agree
I know Jamie Lynn spears and Daniella Monet and Hilary duff did already ??I knew Nathan and Kevin were married but had no idea they had kids??Kel Mitchell totally surprised me (I just saw him recently on game shakers?)
