In a heartwarming chapter of their expanding family, Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have welcomed their seventh child together. Their parenting journey began in 2011 when Alec first met Hilaria, and they tied the knot in 2012. Since then, their family has grown steadily, bringing them immeasurable joy and love.
Their family adventure started in 2013 with the arrival of their first child. Over the years, they welcomed four more children before expanding their family through surrogacy with a sixth child. And now, in April 2021, the couple shared the exciting news of their seventh bundle of joy, filling their followers with anticipation and delight.
Hilaria took to Instagram to introduce their daughter, sharing a collection of heartwarming photos and videos. The caption read, “She’s here! We are so excited to introduce you to our tiny dream come true, Ilaria Catalina Irena.” The couple’s newest addition, born on September 22, 2022, weighed 6 pounds and 13 ounces, bringing even more happiness and love to their household.
Hilaria shared the beautiful moment when her other children welcomed their new sister, saying, “Her Baldwinito siblings are spending the day bonding and welcoming her into our home.” The couple expressed their gratitude and love for their expanding family in an official birth announcement.
While the Baldwins cherish their large family, Hilaria acknowledges that not everyone may fully comprehend their choice. In response to questions and comments about their seventh baby, she often resorts to self-deprecating jokes, finding humor in the situation to keep herself grounded. However, beneath the jokes, she remains grateful for this unique experience of motherhood, embracing both the joys and challenges it brings.
The Baldwins’ unconventional approach to naming their children, often with Spanish origins, has become their trademark. However, the controversy surrounding Hilaria’s representation of her heritage has raised eyebrows regarding their choice for their seventh child’s name, Ilaria Catalina Irena Baldwin.
Critics have taken to social media to question the authenticity of the name given Hilaria’s background, finding it perplexing that none of their children’s names have American origins. However, it is important to note that Ilaria is an Italian name, meaning “joyful,” showcasing the couple’s diverse naming inspirations.
