Expanding your family is a beautiful and exciting experience, especially when both partners are fully committed to it. Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria embarked on this loving journey in 2011 when they met, and they tied the knot in 2012. Since then, their family has been growing with so much joy and love.
The couple wasted no time in starting their family, and in 2013, they welcomed their first child. They were blessed with four more children afterwards, and they even extended their family by adding a sixth child through a surrogate. In April 2021, Alec and Hilaria shared the happy news of expecting their seventh child, much to the delight of everyone who knew them.
A Warm Welcome to the Newest Family Member
Hilaria couldn’t contain her excitement as she took to Instagram to announce the arrival of their daughter. Accompanied by a collection of heartwarming pictures and videos, her happiness was palpable. Their little bundle of joy, named Ilaria Catalina Irena, was born on September 22, 2022, weighing a healthy 6 lbs. and 13 ounces. The love and joy in their eyes were evident in every photo.
Hilaria also shared how their other children were thrilled about their newest sibling. It was heartwarming to see the strong bond and love they already had as a growing family. Hilaria expressed her deep gratitude and love for her husband, children, and extended family, while also thanking everyone for their unwavering support.
A Unique Choice of Name Sparks Controversy
However, not everyone had positive things to say about the name chosen for their newborn. Given the previous controversy surrounding Hilaria’s heritage and accusations of misrepresentation, people were taken aback by the blend of Spanish and Italian names they selected. Some questioned the authenticity of Hilaria’s Spanish persona, while others criticized the names for not being connected enough to their American roots.
