Former England and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has joined an exclusive club—but it's not one on the football pitch. At just 43, he's become one of the latest celebrities to welcome a grandchild, earning him the title of a 'MAG'—Middle-Aged Grandparent.
The Rise of the MAGs
Gerrard isn't alone in this trend. A growing number of stars in their 40s are stepping into grandparenthood, proving that age is just a number when it comes to family milestones.
Who Else is a MAG?
From actors to musicians, the MAGs club includes several high-profile names who've embraced their new roles with pride. Here are a few notable members:
- Simon Cowell – Became a grandfather at 63, though his son is still young.
- Rod Stewart – A proud granddad multiple times over in his 70s.
- Madonna – Welcomed her first grandchild in her 60s.
Why the Trend?
Experts suggest that changing family dynamics, earlier parenthood among celebrities, and longer life expectancies are contributing to this rise in middle-aged grandparents.
Gerrard, who retired from professional football in 2016, now has a new role to cherish—one that doesn't involve trophies, but plenty of love.
