Hilaria excitedly shared the news about her daughterโ€™s arrival on her Instagram account. She posted a selection of pictures and videos to her page, along with the caption: โ€œSheโ€™s here! We are so excited to introduce you to our tiny dream come true, ilaria catalina irenaโ€.

This is Alec Baldwinโ€™s eighth child in total, but his seventh child with current wife Hilaria. He shares his oldest daughter, Ireland Baldwin, with his ex-wife Kim Basinger.

She concluded the caption with: โ€œMuch love to you all. We are so happy to celebrate this wonderful news with you.โ€

While the couple naturally adore their family, Hilaria Baldwin recently shared that not everyone understands their reasoning behind it being soโ€ฆ well, big. In a recent post she wrote: โ€œ7th baby: when people ask or comment, we often go to silly and very self-deprecating jokes on my part. I love to laugh at myselfโ€”so itโ€™s all goodโ€ฆkeeps me sane. All jokes aside, however, I am grateful for this experience.โ€

She explained her thinking further, stating: โ€œI know too well the joys and the losses, the beauty and the heartache, that motherhood brings. 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.โ€

The couple is clearly happy with their family and are practically glowing at their latest addition โ€“ but not everyone congratulated them. In fact, certain individuals had a lot to say about their newbornโ€™s name: Ilaria Catalina Irena Baldwin.

Hilaria and Alec Baldwin are known for selecting unique names for their children, often with Spanish origins. However, after the revelation that Hilaria isnโ€™t of Spanish descent โ€“ and the accompanying controversy surrounding her alleged use of a fake Spanish accent and misrepresentation of her heritage in 2020 โ€“ people were taken aback by the name they gave to their seventh child.

โ€œHer blatant trying to be Spanish is really quite irritating, why is it okay? Why does she keep trying? Have they really let it go to their heads that much,โ€ someone wrote.

Another person wrote on Twitter: โ€œFake Spanish name from Boston-born mom,โ€ while a second echoed: โ€œHilaria & Alec Baldwin had their 7th child. Not one American name, not even a middle name.โ€

A third said: โ€œAlec Baldwinโ€™s wife faking being Spanish is so crazy. Changing her name from Hillary to Hilaria, naming all 7 of their kids with those roots, pretending to forget the english word for โ€˜cucumberโ€™, faking an accent. She shouldโ€™ve changed her name to hilarious instead.โ€

However, some people pointed out that Ilaria is actually Italian for โ€œHilary.โ€ It means cheerful, and was one of the more popular Italian girl names in 2006.
