Michael Douglas becomes first-time grandfather at 73!

Michael Douglas has become a grandfather for the first time at age 73. His eldest son Cameron, 39, has welcomed a baby girl with his partner, 40-year-old yoga instructor Viviane Thibes.

The new arrival comes just one year after Cameron was released from a seven-year prison sentence for drug possession. The five-year sentence was extended by two years after he admitted to smuggling drugs into prison.

Sharing the news on Instagram, Cameron praised his girlfriend, saying:

'Today my appreciation for Mother’s all over the world has reached new heights...

'Today I took part in a miracle as my baby girl was introduced to the world through a beautiful Amazon warrior... I’m so proud of you.' 

Cameron is the eldest son of the Hollywood star, and appeared in the 2003 film It Runs In The Family with his father Michael and grandfather Kirk Douglas.

How old were you when you first became a grandparent? We would love to hear your story in the comments.
