This happy news is definitely worth celebrating. Unless you’re a woman over 40, apparently…

Jeff Goldblum is very happy this week, and rightly so: The 62-year-old Jurassic Park star has just become a father for the first time.

Goldblum and his wife Emilie Livingston welcomed a son, Charlie Ocean, on Saturday.

They shared this sweet family photo from the hospital, showing a wrapped-up, red-faced Charlie resting in Livingston’s arms.

Goldbum and 32-year-old Livingston are currently being collectively cheered by the online community of fans, and rightly so: It’s lovely news worth celebrating.

But we wonder how would the world have reacted if a celebrity had become a first-time mother, rather than father, past 40 years of age?

Well, you don’t have to imagine. Because we already know that, every time a famous woman over 40 gives birth, there’s one thing she can count on: The fact she’ll be labelled ‘selfish’.
