Adriana Iliescu made headlines worldwide when she became a mother for the first time in 2005 at the age of 66. Her daughter Eliza’s birth earned her a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s oldest mother at the time. Despite criticism, Adriana defended her decision to become a mom at an advanced age, emphasizing her good health and energy.

During an interview in 2010, Adriana expressed her desire to have another child and stated that it was medically possible. She believed she had a lot to offer her daughter and was committed to being a good parent.

Adriana’s path to motherhood was not straightforward. She had to abort her first pregnancy due to medical reasons when she was young and newly married. After her husband left her at the age of 24, she focused on her career as a university teacher in Romania. It wasn’t until she completed her doctorate at the age of 37 that she felt ready to have a child, but IVF was not available at that time.

Despite the challenges and controversies, Adriana and Eliza share a strong mother-daughter bond. Adriana remains dedicated to providing the best for her daughter, emphasizing her commitment to a healthy lifestyle by abstaining from smoking and drinking.
