Hilaria Baldwin is an American yoga instructor, podcaster, entrepreneur, and author. She is one of the co-founders of the New York-based yoga studio chain, called Yoga Vida.
The 38-year-old married Baldwin in 2012, and the two have been happily married ever since.
Two weeks ago, the fitness instructor took to her Instagram and addressed her haters who kept saying mean things about her ‘big family.’
“7th baby: when people ask or comment, we often go to silly and very self-deprecating jokes on my part.” She captioned her photos on the social media platform while flaunting her big baby bump.
“I love to laugh at myself—so it’s all good…keeps me sane. All jokes aside, however, I am grateful for this experience. I know too well the joys, losses, beauty, and heartache motherhood brings.”
The fitness enthusiast shares six kids – Carmen, 9, Rafael, 7, Leonardo, 5, Romeo, 4, Eduardo, 23 months, and Lucia, 18 months, with her celebrity husband, Alec Baldwin.
I have learned to respect and embrace the wonderful, the hard, the uncomfortable, the magical, and the unknown of this incredible process I am so blessed to experience again and again,” she added.
The couple first met in 2011 in New York City and, after dating each other for one year, tied the knot in June 2012.
Previously, the Beetlejuice actor was married to American actress Kim Basinger with whom she shared one daughter – she is now 26 years old.
“I wandered into Pure Food and Wine on Irving Place, on an unseasonably warm February evening,” the 30 Rock actor once shared on his Instagram. “My friend, Brendan O’Connell, and I sat down outside, and as I turned to my left, I saw a woman who would change my life. Entirely eight years today. Thanks for all you’ve given me. You are a gift.”
In July 2012, the couple spoke to The New York Times, where Hilaria shared that Baldwin didn’t give her his number when he approached her on the day, he first saw her; instead, he handed her his card and asked her to call him.
“I was standing near the door with my friends when he walked up and took my hand and said, ‘I must know you.’ Obviously, he didn’t know me, but I definitely knew him,” she chuckled. “So, I mustered up the courage and called him a few days later. It took us only a few weeks to get to know each other, and by spring, I was ready to move in with him.”
According to Us Weekly, Baldwin was initially concerned about their 26-year age difference, but Hilaria’s maturity really impressed him and relieved him of his doubts.
“While she was in no hurry, she was very mature and clear about what she wanted — to be married someday,” he recalled.
In March 2022, the duo announced that they were expecting their seventh child together.
“After many ups and downs over the past few years, we have an exciting up and a huge surprise: another Baldwinito is coming this fall,” Hilaria wrote on her Instagram. “We were pretty sure our family was complete, and we’re beyond happy with this surprise.”
“Our new baby is a very bright spot in our lives. A blessing and a gift.”
Later, the SNL alum defended their decision to want a big family with many children.
“People ask why; this is why. Being a parent is the ultimate journey,” he wrote alongside the video of his youngest daughter on Instagram.
