Angela Bassett's New Alias: Mom

E_AngelaBassettCourt_136.jpgWhat do babies have to do with it?

It's twins for Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance. The couple, who have been married for eight years, are the proud parents of a boy and girl. The babies were born on January 27 to a surrogate.

Angela, who was nominated for an Oscar for playing Tina Turner in What's Love Got to Do with It? (one of my favorites!), is a mom for the first time at 47. Her husband, who appears on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, is 45.

hmm... why was she at the sag awards on the 29th when she became a mother of twins on the 27th?

Cause the babies were born to a surrogate.

Letty said:

So the babies are actually not really hers then.

el said:

well i know they aren't biologically hers, but i would assume she was in possession of them by then, and going to an awards show when you're not nominated for anything, when your babies are less than two days old... seems like priorities would dictate that you pass up the chance to observe a "minor" awards show and get to know your offspring.

Just because you don't give birth, doesn't mean their are not rightfully yours. I'm sure with two kids to feed, it time to get back in the making money/connection game.

Joan said:

Maybe the babies weren't released from the hospital on the 27th, maybe they were premature. Women are some times the most negative creatures on earth. I wish her and her husband the best.

Jackz said:

Oops! I thought she was pregnant herself the whole time, Congrats...

Jackie said:

Congratulations to Angela and Courtney.

Generally. having a baby through a surrogate means it is indeed your own child (your own eggs and your partner's sperm), but another woman carries the baby.

CONGRATS to both of them!!

how exiting

anthonyslove said:

That is so great I am so happy for them. Congrats!

scrappergirl said:

I'm guessing that the babies were still at the hospital. Generally speaking they are there for at least 48 hours. Plus, since they're twins they will mostly likely have been premature and need to stay a little longer. I personally would have been at the hospital, too, but we are all different, and I hope they are a happy family!

Simo said:

Lets keep in mind that her twins were due in the spring and Angela was probably already obligated to present at the SAGs well before the due date. Its actually healthy for a mother to spend some time apart from their new-borns to cope with the change. Lets not down this wonderful woman for attending an awards show!! Angela has finally gotten the babies shes be trying for since 2000. lets be happy for her and courtney. Congrats Angie!!

That's right sim!!! lol.

Stephanie said:

I am sooooooooooooo happy for my gurl Angela. I have no doubt in my mind that she will be a great mom. whether she is there or not her presence will always b felt by those children, she will have a great impact on thier lives. Im just curious to know who carried those babies for her,......was it her sister?

Brandy said:

I heard that the babies are biologically for her and her husband, she just wasn't able to carry them

I think it's great that angela and courtney was blessed with the life of these two bundles of joy.These children are blessed to have these two wonderful,smart,and healthy parents, who still look hot together, to guide them through life with their wisdom. So I say let's not hate,let's congradulate!!!

jbb said:

Way to go Angela and Courtney.May blessings continue to be upon you.And blessings to the surrogate mom for helping make it possible.
For all you haters, get over it!

elle said:
