Sen. John Hickenlooper opens up about parental leave, IVF and having a new baby at 71: 'I'm like the proof that everybody has at least 1 more miracle inside them'
There are 75 men currently serving in the United States Senate, but only one of them happens to be a 71-year-old with a nearly 4-month-old baby. That distinction belongs to Sen. John Hickenlooper, who joined wife Robin Pringle in welcoming son Jack — nicknamed "Lug Nut Jack" thanks to weighing nearly 11 pounds at birth — via surrogate last December. "I think in a funny way, by having a child so late in life, I'm like the proof that everybody has at least one more miracle inside them," the Colorado Democrat tells Yahoo Life of becoming a dad again at age 70, just two months before his 71st birthday. Jack is 20 years younger than Hickenlooper's older son, Teddy, from his previous marriage to journalist Helen Thorpe.
