12 Celebrities You Didn't Realize Have Giant Families

ABC/A&E

I know in older generations, having a big family was totally normal. But as things start to get more expensive and as both parents hit the workforce, you rarely see a family with more than four children.

There's of course the odd family, like the Duggars, who take things to the extreme, but more often than not you'll find that most families choose to stop at two or three kids.

This especially makes sense in the Hollywood world. With celebrities and their demanding schedules, it's got to be tough to manage a big family. But somehow these celebs are able to balance it all.

Well, some of them are.
