Expanding your family is always a sweet feeling, especially when you’re with someone you love and on the same page with. Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria have been doing just that since they got married in 2012. They wasted no time in starting a family and have been happily adding new members ever since.
Alec Baldwin met Hilaria in 2011 and they tied the knot the following year. In 2013, they welcomed their first child, and then went on to have four more children together. They even added a sixth child to their family through surrogacy.
In April 2021, the couple shared the exciting news that they were expecting their seventh child together. Everyone was ecstatic for them, happy that they were continuing to grow their wonderful family. Hilaria took to Instagram to announce the arrival of their daughter, sharing pictures and videos along with the caption: “She’s here! We are so excited to introduce you to our tiny dream come true, Ilaria Catalina Irena.”
This is Alec Baldwin’s eighth child overall, but his seventh child with Hilaria. He also has an older daughter named Ireland Baldwin from his previous marriage. Hilaria provided some details about their newest addition, mentioning that their daughter was born on September 22, 2022, weighing 6 lbs. and 13 ounces. Both mother and baby are happy and healthy.
Hilaria also shared how excited their other children are about their new sibling, saying that they are spending the day bonding and welcoming her into their home. The couple released an official birth announcement in People Magazine, expressing their gratitude and joy for their newest little daughter.
While the Baldwins couldn’t be happier with their growing family, not everyone understands their reasoning behind having a large family. Hilaria recently addressed this in a post, using her trademark humor to respond to people’s remarks. She mentioned that she loves to laugh at herself but emphasized her gratitude for the experience of motherhood.
The couple’s unique choice of names for their children has also received attention. With Spanish origins being a common theme in their names, some people were taken aback by their seventh child’s name, considering the controversy surrounding Hilaria’s portrayal of her heritage in 2020. However, it’s worth noting that the name Ilaria actually has Italian roots and means “cheerful.”
In the end, Alec and Hilaria are overjoyed with the newest addition to their family, embracing the journey of parenthood with its ups and downs. Their love for their children shines through, and they continue to cherish the experience of expanding their family together.
