Men can have kids at any age, but the chances of having a child with mental, physical, and health problems increases as men age and their sperm quality decreases. Male fertility also decreases after 40. It's a 23% decrease in fertility each year for men after 39.

Robert de Niro had one last year in his 70s. As a 51 year old dad of a 5 year old myself, he's insane.
Physically guys can be fertile as long as they have balls and a pulse. I was fairly fit at 46 when my son was born, then we had 2020 to today during which I spent 9 months in hospital, lost my right leg and half my left foot, almost died of Covid and had a plethora of smaller health issues that 25 years ago I could have shaken off in a couple of days that took weeks or months now because in part because I'm older.
Find the right girl and marry her. Have your kids while you're going to be able to keep up with them.
At 55 a man's fertility starts to decline, though not as quickly as a woman of 35 would.
Your past will matter too. Drug use, even after quitting can still damage future kids. If you never did drugs and didn't heavily drink alcohol you will be fine.
I heard or read that men can still get women pregnant in their 60s or a little higher than that. But woman have difficulty getting pregnant after their 30s or mid 40s. Janet Jackson got pregnant in her 50s so there are exceptions.

There is no real age. Men remain fertile their entire life. There are legit reports of guys in their 80s fathering children. My father was 66 when he sired me; my mother was much younger.
The actor Tony Randall was 78 years old when his youngest child was born.
If you take care of yourself, you can become a father into your 50s
Don’t worry, you’ve got many more years.
After 50 they run the risk of kids with down syndrome and autism because of aging sperm.
There was a thing decades ago on the west coast if Ireland where there were a disproportionate amount of kids born with downsyndrome born to farmers at first they thought it was the women but what it was, was that the men were waiting until 40 & 50 to marry younger women in their teens and twenties
or a man there's not maximum age. but for women is the end for babies when we hit menopause. so i think u could have a baby anytime. but from the other aspect not too old for sure cuz u could die too soon and that would be sad for a child.
50s, after that its very unlikely (though its a lot harder in 50s than earlier though). but since your a dude you got like a good 25-30 years so you got time
For a man, there really isn’t a maximum age. It’s just as you get older it will be harder to impregnate a woman and there will be more risks involved,
You've got a good while left, Charlie Chaplin the comedian had 11 children, his last was born when he was 73.
My last baby I was 36 and my husband was 44 and everything was fine. That will be our last as the number is now 4
I don't recommend men having kids past 35-40. Older sperm creates risk for the mom and baby
Bernie Ecclestone (F1 Supremo) was 89 when his wife gave birth to a boy.
Men don't have babies, women do.
As far as the age men can become fathers, as far as I know, there's no limit.even 70s if you don't get anthropose (might spell it wrong)
Men have fathered children into their 70's and beyond, don't know why you're stressing out at 26, you're not in your prime until you're in your 30's!
About the double your age, my friend. You have plenty of time.
Didn't AL Pacino just have one? Dudes like 80! But I wouldn't recommend a guy have children past 40. Because do you want to be past 50 and trying to keep up with kids? Makes me tired just thinking about it.😆
Like 40s.. having kids after that would be so unfair to them..
Risks to the baby increase as you get older, but 83-year-old Al Pacino had one in June.
Guys can get a girl pregnant pretty much at any age
