Singer Sophie B. Hawkins is Pregnant at Age 50 With Second Child

Sophie B. Hawkins is 50 and pregnant!

The "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" singer is expecting her second child, a daughter, this July, People Magazine reported. The recording artist already has a 6-year-old son named Dashiell.

Hawkins was reportedly implanted with an embryo she had frozen at the age of 31 and the sperm was provided by a unnamed donor. When it comes to expanding her family at such a controversial age, Hawkins explained to People that the doctors did not consider her age to be a problem.

"I found Dashiell really needs a sibling," Hawkins told the magazine. "My son has one parent who's 50. I want him to have a family of young people, too. I went through waking up crying and saying, 'Am I too old? Will I suddenly at 51 have my knees give out?' Now I don't have any of those fears because I feel healthy and strong. I'm also setting up a good net of support, and that's the key to anybody having a child."

"For me, the main decision was emotional. I've been wanting to have a child since Dashiell was 1, but I was working too much and there was a lot going on in my relationship."

In August 2014, New York Daily News reported that Hawkins and her partner and manager, Gigi Gaston, ended their six-year relationship, but Hawkins told People that she is ready to raise her child alone.

"I interviewed a lot of divorced women and they said, 'It's so much easier to do it alone. You don't have the pressure or the criticism or judgment of someone else,'" Hawkins said. "Of course then you ask, 'Will I miss the emotional support?' Well, to tell you the truth, I'm getting that more from my friends than I ever got in a relationship."
