Hilaria Baldwin has confessed she knows the sex of her seventh baby, whom she is expecting with husband Alec.
But the 38-year-old has explained that the couple are keeping the news a secret for now, for heartbreaking reasons.
Hilaria took to her Instagram story on Tuesday to tell fans that they knew the baby’s sex but had decided not to share it publicly.
"So many of you are asking what I'm having… I do know and I will tell you but I'm waiting for two things," she began.
"1. I lost a baby at 4 months in 2019 (maybe some of you remember). I think about her daily and understand that motherhood has its beauty and its darkness," Hilaria added.
"But I will wait until I'm past the point when I lost my daughter."
Three years ago, in April 2019, the couple suffered the agony of a miscarriage.
They conceived again a few months later, but heartbreakingly lost their baby again at 16 weeks pregnant in November 2019.
Hilaria told fans her second reason for not revealing the baby’s sex is to ensure she is respectful and gender inclusive, something she is very passionate about.
"2. 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," Hilaria explained.
"Quite frankly it may just be continuing on as I have. But 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," she said.
"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."
The soon-to-be mum of seven confirmed her pregnancy publicly last week as she and Alec released a statement saying: "We have 'somos un buen equipo' engraved on our wedding bands.
“We say that to each other all the time at home - that we're a good team.
“One of the most beautiful things my children have experienced with a big family is how the heart can grow with every new sibling."
"Our capacity to love continues to expand and we can't wait to embrace our new little one this fall!" they revealed.
Hilaria posted a video to Instagram following the news where she had filmed herself and husband Alec, 62, goofing around with their children and telling them the news that they were pregnant.
They are already parents to daughters María Lucía Victoria, 13 months, and Carmen Gabriela, 8, and sons Rafael Thomas, 6, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 5, Romeo Alejandro David, 3, and Eduardo "Edu" Pao Lucas, 18 months together.
