What do Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have in common?

British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced today that he will step down next month. Speculation is high that his successor will be Gordon Brown, currently the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Reportedly, the men have their political differences, but they do have one thing in common - they're both older dads. Check it out:

Blair (b.1953) had a son, Leo, in 2000, the first time in many-a-year that a British prime minister had a child while in office.

Brown (b.1951) married for the first time in 2000. He and his wife, Sarah, had their first child, a daughter, the next year. She was born prematurely and died a short time later. They had a healthy son, John, in 2003, and another son, Fraser, last year. Fraser has been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.
