During the conversation, Hilaria touched upon the topic of expanding her family and discussed the special bond she shares with Holland, the daughter of Alec’s eldest daughter, Ireland Baldwin. Holland, who is just 23 months old, has a unique nickname for Hilaria – “Abuelita,” which translates to grandmother in Spanish. This revelation added a touching and familial touch to their relationship, showcasing the love and bond within the Baldwin family.
The Baldwins have a large and blended family, with Alec and Hilaria sharing seven children together. Their brood includes daughters Carmen Gabriela, María Lucía Victoria, Ilaria Catalina Irena, and sons Rafael Thomas, Leonardo Ángel Charles, Romeo Alejandro David, and Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas. In addition to their children, Alec is also a father to Ireland, whom he shares with his ex-wife Kim Basinger.
Hilaria and Alec’s youngest daughter, Ilaria Catalina Irena, was born on September 22, 2022, further expanding their family unit. The couple, who exchanged vows in 2012, have created a bustling household filled with love, laughter, and the inevitable chaos that comes with a large family. Alec, at the age of 67, continues to embrace fatherhood with open arms, cherishing the moments he spends with his children and grandchildren.
The couple’s daughter, Ireland Baldwin, welcomed her own daughter, Holland, in May 2023 with her boyfriend, RAC. Hilaria shared a heartwarming photo on Instagram, introducing Holland to the world with a caption that exuded joy and pride. The arrival of Holland added another layer of love and joy to the extended Baldwin family, creating even more cherished moments and memories for all.
In an interview with Romper in June 2023, Hilaria expressed her contentment with their family size, hinting that Ilaria may be their last child. She jokingly mentioned the fear of pregnancy recurrence every time she considers parting with her maternity clothes. Despite Alec’s procrastination in getting a vasectomy, the couple seems settled and fulfilled with their beautiful family dynamic.
As the Baldwins prepared for the release of their reality series, “The Baldwins,” in February 2025, Alec expressed his gratitude for their unconventional but deeply fulfilling family life. He humorously remarked on the contrast between their reality and the hypothetical lavish lifestyle they could have led, underscoring the value they place on their family bonds and shared experiences.
The Baldwin family’s story is a testament to the beauty of blended families, love, and resilience. Hilaria’s role as a step-grandmother to Holland enriches their family narrative, highlighting the interconnected relationships and deep bonds that bind them together. Their journey is a reminder that family comes in all shapes and sizes, united by love and devotion, transcending traditional labels and roles.
