Alec Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, continue to expand their family with the arrival of their seventh child. They tied the knot in 2012 and have been blessed with a new daughter, Ilaria Catalina Irena Baldwin, born in September 2022. It’s worth noting that Alec Baldwin has a total of eight children, including his oldest daughter, Ireland Baldwin, from his previous marriage to Kim Basinger.

Hilaria took to Instagram to share the joyous news of their daughter’s arrival. She posted adorable pictures and videos, expressing their excitement and gratitude for their newest family member. Hilaria mentioned that both mother and daughter are healthy, and their other children are enjoying precious bonding moments with their new sibling.

While the Baldwins are overjoyed with their growing family, the name they chose for their daughter has sparked some strong reactions. Alec and Hilaria have a knack for selecting unique names with Spanish origins, despite Hilaria being born in Boston. This has caused controversy in the past due to allegations of Hilaria misrepresenting her heritage and using a fake Spanish accent in 2020.

Critics have voiced their concerns about the name Ilaria, suggesting that it’s yet another attempt by Hilaria to appear Spanish despite her background. However, it’s important to note that Ilaria is actually an Italian name meaning “cheerful” and was popular in Italy in the mid-2000s.

The choice of their daughter’s name has sparked discussions and debates, reflecting the couple’s distinct approach to naming their children and the ongoing controversy surrounding Hilaria’s cultural identity.
