Bringing a child into the world is the greatest joy in the history of a couple, and although it is most common to have a child between our second and fourth decade, there are occasions when the miracle of life can surprise us in ᴏʟᴅ age. And we believe that life still has a lot to offer in old age. That’s why we want to tell you the story of this man, who decided to start a new family as a senior, with a philosophyof living that demolishes all prejudices.
Argentinean Doctor Alberto Cormillot, born on August 31, 1938, in Buenos Aires, he is Argentina’s most famous nutritionist. Throughout his long career, he has helped thousands of people with eating disorders to change their lives through his obesity treatment institutions, educational activities, and media messages. Alberto , who married a woman 48 years younger than him and became a father at the age of 83. Although he is recognized for his great career, his personal life came into the public eye in 2019, when he announced that he was going to marry Estefanía Pasquini, a woman who was 48 years younger than him. And in 2021, they welcomed their first child. As for his kid’s diet, the doctor said that he and his wife agreed that their child wouldn’t eat any salt or sugar for the first 2 years.
The couple remained strong in the face of criticism, as both were convinced of their decision and no one was going to take away their joy. His wife confesses, she is aware that one day he will no longer be around, but it is something she is ready to face when the time comes. She said:” They don’t say anything that I don’t know, or that Alberto doesn’t know, or that we haven’t talked about. I talked about it with my friends and they told me ’Yes, it’s going to happen, you’re going to have a child and tomorrow he won’t be there, for logical reasons of life . And when he is no longer there, we will all be there to take you forward’. Emilio is the proof that love can do everything.” Alberto already knew what it was like to be a dad for more than 50 years, after the birth of his daughter, Reneé, and later his son Adrián. But the amount of time that passed between the birth of his last child and the new one, he confessed, makes him feel like a first-time father, as he is discovering modern things about babies now
He said:” I don’t remember much of what the experience is anymore. Yesterday we went to look for strollers, so we did a course on strollers. These didn’t even exist back then, they used to be much more primitive. Before there were cloth diapers that were washed and changed, and today it is totally different.” A love story that breaks down barriers and prejudice.
