Hilaria Baldwin announced Monday that she and her husband, Alec Baldwin, have welcomed their sixth child together, less than six months after she gave birth to baby number five.
Baldwin posted a photo on Instagram of herself and her children (Carmen, Raphael, Leonardo, Romeo and Eduardo) along with the newborn baby.
“7❤️📸Alec,” headlined the photo. The newborn would be Alec Baldwin’s seventh son, as he also has a 25-year-old daughter, Ireland, with ex-wife Kim Basinger.
A week earlier, she posted a short video embracing a newborn with the headline: “Gratitude.”
The Baldwins had not publicly announced that they were expecting another baby. Hilaria, a yoga instructor and actress, announced the birth of her fifth child on September 8, 2020. She had previously opened up on social media about suffering two miscarriages.
Baldwin took a break on social media in late December after Internet details raised questions about his claims to Spanish heritage. After making several apologies on Instagram, he stopped posting until February 5 and wrote, “I spent the last month listening, reflecting, and wondering how I can learn and grow. My parents raised my brother and I with two cultures, American and Spanish, and I feel a real sense of belonging to both. “
She said she could have better explained her deep connections to two cultures, that she is proud of the way she was raised and that she and her husband are raising their children with “the same love and respect for both.”
“Being vulnerable and pushing ourselves to learn and grow is what we have built on our community and I look forward to returning to the supportive and friendly environment we have built together,” he continued. Baldwin, who has been using the Spanish accent for years and has emphasized his Spanish heritage, grew up in Boston but spent time with his family in Spain.
Throughout his posts, Baldwin never mentioned any babies. It is unclear whether the new addition to the family was born through a substitute or was adopted. CBS News has contacted Baldwin for more information.
