Actor Alec Baldwin is set to have another baby daughter after wife Hilaria announced the sex of their seventh child.
It will mark the eighth time the actor will become a dad - the seventh time with Hilaria.
The pair are having a baby girl to add to Carmen, 8, Rafael, 6, Leonardo, 5, Romeo, 3½, Eduardo, 18 months, and María, 13 months.
Alec also has a daughter, Ireland, 26, with first wife Kim Basinger.
Hilaria’s pregnancy announcement came a few weeks after she told her Instagram followers she was taking a break from social media. She wrote: “Hey friends! I’m gonna take a break, I promise I’ll be back,” she wrote.
“I love you all and know you worry, so want to give you a heads up. I might check in from time to time, dropping you a photo, and letting you know we are OK.”
The Baldwins posted a video on Instagram, sharing their exciting news, where the family were all seen handing out advice to the unborn baby. And Hilaria said: “I share with you our family’s hopes and wishes, encouragement and advice for our new baby.
“I feel so much joy, watching these children, who are filled with love and the most simple, kind wisdom. Hearing them share their words is one of my greatest gifts in life.”
Hilaria said she knew what sex the baby was going to be in April, but didn’t say anything publicly due to a couple of reasons.
Firstly, she suffered a miscarriage in April 2019, as well as pregnancy loss in November the same year, and did not want old wounds to resurface.
She said on her Instagram Story: “I lost a baby at four months in 2019. I think about her daily and understand that motherhood has its beauty and its darkness, but I will wait until I’m past the point when I lost my daughter.”
Secondly, she wanted to be respectful and gender-inclusive, adding: “Many of you know how connected I am to the LGBTQIA+ community and I am talking with a few close confidants on how I can be thoughtful and inclusive on helping to curate a more gender inclusive world.
"Given all of the prejudice I’m seeing in this country right now, I need to pause and give it a good think and get some advice.
“It pains me so much to see that people are vilified and harassed and not included for simply being who they are. Peaceful, loving, beautiful humans.
“Be good to yourselves and so much love and good energy to you. I cherish our community.”
