Diaz was 47 years old when she had Raddix and she’s been open about the struggles that have come with welcoming a child in her 40s.

“The women who have children my age are like, literally 20 years younger and that’s an interesting place to be because I’m not that age,” she said during a March 2022 interview withBBC Radio 2’s Michelle Visage. “And that’s totally okay. But I want to feel vital like that for my child.”

“When you’re my age and you decide to do it, it’s a real choice,” she said. “You really have to work hard for it. The only pressure for me is like I have to live to be, like 107, you know? So no pressure!”
