Alec Baldwin and His Wife Hilaria Faced Backlash After Welcoming Their Seventh Child
It’s always nice to add a child to your family as a parent, especially if you do it with someone you love and agree with.
From the time they got married in 2012 to the present, Alec Baldwin and Hilaria have been adding to their family.
In 2011, Alec Baldwin met his wife Hilaria Baldwin, and they got married the next year, in 2012.
They didn’t wait long to start a family; in 2013, they had their first child. After that, they had four more children together and then a sixth kid through a surrogate.
They told everyone in April 2021 that they were going to have their seventh child together. Everyone was thrilled for them and glad that they were continuing to grow their wonderful family.
Hilaria shared the happy news on her Instagram account that her daughter was born. “She’s here!” she wrote under a bunch of photos and videos she shared on her page. “We are so excited to introduce you to our tiny dream come true, Ilaria Catalina Irena”.
If you count Alec Baldwin’s children with his first wife Hilaria, this is his eighth child overall. His ex-wife Kim Basinger and he have a daughter together, Ireland Baldwin.
Hilaria talked about the newest member of her and Alec’s family in the Instagram post described above. Their girl was born on September 22, 2022, and weighed 6 pounds and 13 ounces, she wrote, “Both she and I are happy and healthy,” she said.
Then she wrote in another post that her other children are thrilled about the new member of their family: “Her Baldwinito siblings are spending the day bonding and welcoming her into our home.”
She concluded the caption with: “Much love to you all. We are so happy to celebrate this wonderful news with you.”
The couple told People Magazine about the birth of their daughter, saying, “How grateful we feel to welcome our newest little daughter into this world. Just as magical and filled with love as every other little person we have been blessed with.”
Even though the couple loves their family very much, Hilaria Baldwin recently said that some people don’t understand why their family is so… big. In a recent post, she said, “7th baby: when people ask or comment, we often go to silly and very self-deprecating jokes on my part. I love to laugh at myself—so it’s all good…keeps me sane. All jokes aside, however, I am grateful for this experience.”
“I know too well the joys and the losses, the beauty and the heartache, that motherhood brings,” she said to further explain her thoughts. “I have learned to respect and embrace the wonderful, the hard, the uncomfortable, the magical, and the unknown of this incredible process I am so blessed to experience again and again,” she continued.
It’s clear that the couple is happy with their family and their new baby, but not everyone sent them congratulations. In fact, some people had a lot to say about the name Ilaria Catalina Irena Baldwin Baldwin.
Hilaria and Alec Baldwin are known for giving their children unusual names, often ones that come from Spain. There was a lot of controversy in 2020 when it came out that Hilaria isn’t Spanish and that she was using a fake Spanish accent and lying about her background. This led to people being surprised by the name they chose for their seventh child.
“Her blatant trying to be Spanish is really quite irritating, why is it okay? Why does she keep trying? Have they really let it go to their heads that much,” someone wrote.
Another person wrote on Twitter: “Fake Spanish name from Boston-born mom,” while a second echoed: “Hilaria & Alec Baldwin had their 7th child. Not one American name, not even a middle name.”
A third said: “Alec Baldwin’s wife faking being Spanish is so crazy. Changing her name from Hillary to Hilaria, naming all 7 of their kids with those roots, pretending to forget the english word for ‘cucumber’, faking an accent. She should’ve changed her name to hilarious instead.”
A few people did say that Ilaria is actually the Italian word for “Hilary.” It was one of the most common Italian girl names in 2006, and it means “cheerful.”
