Marcia Cross Baby

Marcia Cross Baby. When Marcia Cross met stockbroker Tom Mahoney in 2006, the race was on for the 44-year-old actress to start a family. Six months later, they married and immediately began in vitro fertilization. In February 2007, the “Desperate Housewives” actress gave birth to fraternal twin girls Eden and Savannah. 

Cross, who considered a surrogate, has been very open about the real struggle women in the 40s face when trying to get pregnant. “One's own eggs only last so long, and sometimes at 43 or 44 you can have your own baby, but statistically it's very difficult and expensive,” she has said. “You don't want to wait that long."
