It's okay if you need a moment to wipe your screen after doing a spit take just now. Now, take a deep breath. You read correctly: 94-year-old ailing actress Zsa Zsa Gabor and her husband, 67-year-old Frederic Prinz von Anhalt would like to be new parents. The elderly couple are looking into a plan to "use an egg donor, artificial insemination and a surrogate mother," according to ABC7. Gabor has one child, daughter Francesca, from her marriage to Conrad Hilton. Prinz von Anhalt has no children, although since their 1986 nuptials, he and Gabor have adopted a handful of adult men.
Among them are: Marcus Prinz von Anhalt (formerly known as Marcus Eberhardt), who refers to himself as "Prince Germany";Oliver Prinz von Anhalt (formerly known as Oliver Bendig); Michael Prinz von Anhalt (formerly known as Michael Killer); as well as Markus Maximilian Prinz von Anhalt. Following the adoption, these men are entitled to use the last name of "Prinz von Anhalt."
Gabor has been in failing health and in and out of the hospital for the past couple of years. Her husband says the actress and socialite has been talking about having a baby in recent months.
