Stars are so busy making movies and working on their brands it is a shock that they have time to start a family as kids take so much time to raise.
But many celebrities have taken the time to enjoy big families.
Think of Mia Farrow who has a total of 14 kids with several different men (one of them Woody Allen) – and many of them are adopted.
Then there is Nick Cannon who has 10 children – two are with songbird Mariah Carey – as the actor says he has no plans to stop pro-creating.
Clint Eastwood and Alec Baldwin also have a big brood as they have chosen to have children later in life as well.
Hollywood icons Angelina Jolie and Madonna both have six each.
Here is a look at tons of celebrities who have a soccer team at home.

Moses Farrow was adopted in 1980 by Mia and Woody Allen. He has spoken out about his mother and claims that she ‘brainwashed’ the children into believing Woody abused Dylan.

Satchel ‘Ronan’ O’Sullivan Farrow was born in 1997 and is the youngest of the four boys that Mia gave birth to. He is the only biological child of Mia and Woody Allen although there has been speculation that Ronan is actually the love child of Mia and Frank Sinatra. He is now a journalist who broke the story of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assault allegations.
Tam Farrow was adopted in 1992 from Vietnam and was blind. She was adopted just a month after the affair between Woody and Soon-Yi became known. Reports cite an accidental overdose and heart failure due as her cause of death in 2000, although Moses said she killed herself deliberately.
Isaiah Farrow was adopted in 1992 by Mia solely. Quincy Farrow was adopted in 1994 by Mia solely.
Thaddeus Wilk Farrow was adopted in 1994 from India. He was a paraplegic and named Thaddeus Wilk in honor of judge Elliott Wilk who helped Mia win custody against Woody. Thaddeus died of a self inflicted gunshot wound in 2016 at age 27.

Daughter Lourdes has taken after her mother with her singing career
The ex-wife of Sean Penn has talked about being a mom to so many kids.
The singer told Vanity Fair in January 2023 that motherhood ‘has been the most difficult, the hardest battle.’
She added, ‘Today I am still struggling to understand how to be a mother and do my job.
‘Because, whoever you are, having children and raising them is a work of art. And no one gives you a manual. You have to learn from mistakes. It is a profession that requires a lot of time. And it is exhausting because there is never rest.’
Madonna adopted David in 2006, when he was just 13 months old, with ex-husband Guy Ritchie.
After seeing him sick with pneumonia at an orphanage in Malawi that she had help fund, the couple got the ball rolling with his adoption.
Speaking about her son’s love for fashion on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon recently she said: ‘He can put on any outfit and look swag as you know what,’ adding, ‘It’s really irritating. He wears my clothes and looks better in them. He can even wear a dress and look butch.’
