Hilaria Baldwin announced on 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 to Instagram of herself and her children – Carmen, Raphael, Leonardo, Romeo and Eduardo – along with the newborn.
“7❤️📸Alec,” she captioned the photo. The newborn is said to be Alec Baldwin’s seventh child as he also has a 25-year-old daughter, Ireland, with ex-wife Kim Basinger.
A week earlier, she posted a short video hugging a newborn, with the caption, “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 suffer from two miscarriages
Baldwin took a break from social media in late December after internet sleuths raised questions about her claims to Spanish heritage. After making several excuses on Instagram, she took a break from posting until February 5 and then wrote: “For the past month I have been listening, thinking and wondering how to learn and grow. My parents raised my brother and me with two cultures, American and Spanish, and I really feel part of both. “
She said she could have better explained her deep connections to two cultures, that she takes pride in the way she was raised, and that she and her husband raise their children with “ the same love and respect for both. ”
“Being vulnerable and pushing ourselves to learn and grow is what we’ve built our community on, and I hope to return to the supportive and friendly environment we’ve built together,” she continued. Baldwin, who has used a Spanish accent for years and emphasized her Spanish heritage, grew up in Boston but spent time with family in Spain.
Since her posts, Baldwin has never mentioned another baby along the way. It is unclear whether the latest addition to the family was born via surrogate or adopted. CBS News has contacted Baldwin for more information.
