He could be a great-great-grandfather. But at 96, an Indian man is the world's oldest new dad. Ramjeet Raghav and his 52-year-old wife, Shakuntala Devi, gave birth to their second son on Oct. 5, according to the Times of India. He met Devi 10 years ago after practicing a life of celibacy. "My neighbors are jealous and they keep asking me for my secret, but all I tell them is that it is God's will," Raghav is quoted as saying, according to ninemsn. "I think it's very important for a husband and a wife to sleep together regularly, but for the sake of my child I've put our needs aside for now." A field hand and former wrestler, he first broke the "World's Oldest New Dad" record when his first son was born in November 2010. He lives on a diet of milk, butter and almonds, according to The Sun. Although Raghav believes he's "very capable" of having more babies, he says he's done for financial reasons.
