How many kids does Angela Bassett have?
Angela Bassett has two kids, a daughter named Bronwyn and a son named Slater who happen to be twins.
On January 27, 2006, Angela and her husband Courtney B Vance welcomed Bronwyn and Slater via surrogate.
Regarding her foray into motherhood, the American Horror Story actress told Vulture: “I’m just speaking from my experience but my daughter, from the time she was a little one, was always sort of looking to me for the example of what to do and how to be.
“I have twins and if I told her brother something, she would be my little copy.
“I think girls get you, you’re on the same page a little bit. They’re always there.
“They’re so loving and attentive, wanting to do the right thing.”
She added: “Boys are just wild. Jumping off stuff, hanging from stuff — you just wonder why their brain is even telling them to do that?

“Slater would just run off and meet people. Girls stay a little bit close and observant.”
How old was Angela when she had her kids?
By the time Bronwyn and Slater arrived, Angela was 47 years old.
Prior to their surrogacy journey, the Black Panther star revealed she and Courtney experienced infertility issues for seven years.
While remembering her struggles to conceive, she confessed to Oprah: “I was devastated when it didn’t happen again and again. I had to remain hopeful and resilient and say ‘Okay, let’s do it again.’
“The more we learned about it [surrogacy], the more we began to think that perhaps this was an answer for us.”

When did Angela marry Courtney B Vance?
Angela and Courtney tied the knot on October 12, 1997, in a private Los Angeles wedding ceremony.
Although the pair knew each other while attending Yale School of Drama in the early 1980s, they didn’t start dating until the next decade.
Angela remembered Courtney had a girlfriend at the time, so nothing romantic transpired between the two until they reconnected in 1994.
Both on the path to becoming successful Hollywood stars, the two eventually ran into each other in Los Angeles and struck up a romance shortly afterward.
