""You know, what happened was I was seeing my doctor, and I was just crying. I said, I realized it was my late forties. And I said, I just can't believe I'd let this time go by. And I haven't done this, and I haven't had children," she told host Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Leibovitz said her longtime partner, author Susan Sontag, who died in 2004, "wasn't interested in children.""
""And I would talk about it every now and then, and she was not interested. Besides, we didn't really have that kind of relationship. We had two separate apartments," Leibovitz said. "We had our own world, but we really supported each other tremendously." However, Leibovitz's doctor told her she still had that option. "So he said to me, 'You can do it.' I said, 'Really?' And I did it," Leibovitz said, adding that she has three daughters who are now in their twenties."
Annie Leibovitz became a mother in her late forties and now has three daughters in their twenties. A doctor's visit prompted a sudden decision to pursue parenthood after recognizing time had passed. Her longtime partner, Susan Sontag, was not interested in having children, and their relationship included separate apartments while offering mutual support. A doctor confirmed that parenthood remained an option, and she proceeded to have children. Parenting later in life brings concerns about aging and longevity, with her older daughter urging her to prioritize health. She intends to continue focusing on her career while managing the challenges of being an older mother.
