Overview

  • Alexandra Hildebrandt, 66, gave birth to her 10th child, Philipp, on March 19, 2025, via cesarean section at Charité Hospital in Berlin.
  • Hildebrandt claims she conceived naturally without the use of in vitro fertilization or fertility drugs, a claim met with skepticism by medical experts due to her age.
