Helen Hunt baby

Helen Hunt baby. After going through multiple rounds of in vitro fertilization, Helen Hunt gave birth to her first child, daughter Makena Lei, in May 2004, a month before the “Mad About You” actress turned 41. 

“Motherhood is totally thrilling and I love every minute of it,” Hunt, who’s been in a relationship with TV producer Matthew Carnahan for more than a decade, told The Daily Mail in 2008. “I think it’s partly having had a challenging time getting pregnant. Someone who went through in vitro said to me, ‘When other mothers run out of patience, you’ll have another two hours in your tank because you’re so grateful she’s here.’ And it’s true.”
