Alec & Hilaria Baldwin are expecting their fifth child in six years

Did anyone else watch Alec Baldwin’s Comedy Central Roast last Sunday? It was… interesting. It was interesting who did NOT show up for him (Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan), and it was interesting to see who did show up for him (Robert De Niro, Sean Hayes). The jokes were not amazing across the board, but I chuckled at a few of meaner lines about Alec and Hilaria. The consensus is that Alec married someone too young and now he has to work forever to pay for all the babies they’re having. It’s not a joke – it’s the f–king truth. Speaking of, Hilaria is pregnant again, because of course she is. The Baldwins literally have four kids under the age of six, and Hilaria’s last pregnancy ended in miscarriage. She announced this one early.

With four kids age 6 and under, Hilaria Baldwin and Alec Baldwin are on a roll expanding their family again. The Saturday Night Live star, 61, and his wife, 35, are expecting another baby, she shared on Instagram Wednesday alongside a video showing the baby’s heartbeat.

“It is still very early … but we have learned that there is a little person inside of me 💛,” the mom-to-be began her caption. “The sound of this strong heart makes me so happy — especially because of the loss we experienced in the spring. We want to share this news as we are excited and don’t want to hide the pregnancy. These first few months are tough with exhaustion and nausea … and I don’t want to have to pretend that I feel ok,” Hilaria added. “My one request is that the media not send paparazzi to follow me or buy independent paparazzi photos, hence encouraging them. I want to remain peaceful during this very early time in my pregnancy and getting chased around by cameras is not in the doctor’s orders 💛”

The new addition will join big brothers Romeo Alejandro David, 16 months, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 3, and Rafael Thomas, 4, plus big sister Carmen Gabriela, 6, and Baldwin’s 23-year-old daughter Ireland, from his previous marriage to Kim Basinger.

“Well, I am delighted to say, ‘Uno mas Baldwinito,’ ” Alec captioned the same heartbeat video Wednesday on his own Instagram account. “God is good.”

I just.. I don’t even know what to say anymore. I guess I’ll just say congrats. I mean, it’s not my body, it’s not my family, it’s not my rage-monster husband. Hilaria obviously loves being pregnant and loves having a baby in the house, and Alec… likes giving Hilaria what she wants. They can afford a million nannies (they had five nannies when they only had two babies). And Hilaria has already said that she and Alec worked out their roles as parents – he expects her to “take care of the kids” while he… works and punches things. As I said, it’s their life. You couldn’t pay me to live like that.

    Thats a lot. But great for them ☺️

    • (TheOG)@Jan90067 says:

      Congrats, if this is what they want, Mazel Tov and best wishes for a healthy baby.

      If they were to ask MY opinion (I know! lol). I think he needs to wrap it up, or snip it already (the latter being preferable), And he needs to get his wife an HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE glass of water for that unquenchable thirst.

      • PlainJane says:

        @(TheOG)@Jan90067, second that glass of water comment. She basically spells it out. “Paparazzi, don’t come for me, here I am!”

      • Seraphina says:

        I so agree.

      • lucy2 says:

        Yeah I had to laugh at her asking the paparazzi to leave her alone. Most people probably couldn’t pick her out of a lineup unless she was with Alec, she’s not a big celebrity herself.

    • Adrianna says:

      Congrats to them. He’d probably like to close up shop but he’ll do whatever Hilaria wants and it seems he does love children. It’s not the end of the world. There will be plenty of money to take care of everyone and even if he passes on before they’re adults, they will all still have a wonderful support system in each other.

      • ChillyWilly says:

        He loves children? Don’t you remember the recording of him screaming at Ireland and calling her a rude little pig? Dude has serious rage issues a d his wife seems crazy AF. Poor kids.

      • charo says:

        DON’T CARE

  2. Snowslow says:

    My former sister-in-law is like HIiaria. She is going on the 5th child and looks the same as always a few weeks after giving birth.
    She also has a history of ED and is blessed with good genetics. Who knows? Maybe like V Beckam Hilaria is very very disciplined.
    Not working helps too. Being able to nap whenever, having 200 nannies… etc.
    Can’t comment much on the number of kids as I have 4.

    Also: I had a look at her insta and despite that amazing body she is very basic in her clothing and general style, à la Aniston. She must be a very unproblematic person, with simple life goals such as having loads of money to sip cocktails and do yoga.

    • Savannah says:

      I think you’re right.
      She’s probably giving him passes on A LOT and just brushes over things if there’s ever a conflict.

  3. Elle says:

    Maybe he’s just allergic to condoms

  4. SM says:

    Wow. The kids at kindergarten will all think he is the grandpa. But maybe that works well. She likes babies and he does have to work non stop which is probably a good way to get our of the mad house with army of toddlers and babies for him. He looks like he accidentally got out of a tornado in every family photo. So probably they did find some balance.
    I am bothered by Hilaria and her thirst. Are the paparazzi chasing her off the street really? And then asking for privacy while disclosing so many private details is so classy

  5. Jess says:

    Congrats to them I guess? I figured this would happen, after their last “accidental” pregnancy then loss. If he expects her or a nanny to care for the kids I don’t understand why he doesn’t get snipped, she’s clearly very fertile.

    I get such a kick out of her attention seeking on Instagram, so many videos of her in her underwear pelvic thrusting into the bathroom mirror on the floor and calling it “motivational”, please, lol.

    • boredblond says:

      She’s her own paparazzi

    • Savannah says:

      She probably has a lot of issues and having 100 babies helps her in not having to deal with it.
      I just don’t understand why young women want to be baby making machines for old grandpa’s! We’re not in the 1950, you don’t have to keep the up the stereotypical gender roles. She seems like a very dependent person with few meanings of her own. Maybe having babies and posting her pelvic thrusts are the only thing giving her some self asteem or sense of worth, who knows..

      And I always wonder: when you have that many nannies and then continue to have more babies, do you collect them like puppies? I mean, if you have a lot of nannies you probably don’t have to do any of the dirty work and only get to cuddle and sing for them, so having 100 kids seems easy..? Do you just send them along to a nanny when they’re having a tantrum? Do they really emotionally connect to all of their babies with this life style..?
      So many questions, haha!

      • Valiantly Varnished says:

        That’s a HUGE assumption to make about a woman simply because she has or wants a lot of kids. It’s her body. Her choice. It doesn’t mean she has “a lot of issues”. Some women want big families and have relatively easy pregnancies. It’s not for everyone but I’m also not going to bash another woman because of it.

  6. minx says:

    Oh, brother.

  7. Becks1 says:

    as long as they are happy, then good for them. Some women just love being pregnant/having babies (my mom was like that, she had 4 kids and said she would have kept going except the doctor told her she couldn’t so that put a damper on it, lol) and it seems Hilaria is like that. And having 5 kids is very different when you have money and a ton of help.

  8. Ally Theater says:

    I guess such a big age gap requires multiple anchor babies

  9. Sierra says:

    As long as he is not punching the children or his wife, I don’t care how they live.

    • Alexandria says:

      I’m with you. As long as he wants this, treats his entire family right, is not in debt, is prepared for potential birth defects (touch wood), is not on welfare, I don’t see anything wrong. There is an environmental effect but that’s another story.

      • Tina says:

        My thoughts too.

      • Baby Jane says:

        Your sentiments, I’m sure, come from a place of positivity, but why shouldn’t people on welfare have kids? I have never understood this eugenic attitude. Poor people are just as entitled to reproduction as wealthy people.

      • Adrianna says:

        I’m sure they have an agreement. Okay, you can have as many babies as you want but I am not to be expected to do the work involved with them, diapers, etc. And really, why should he. There’s plenty of money to hire people to do that sort of thing. I think she spends a lot of time with her kids but certain tasks she has help with. His job is to spend time with the kids when he can and be supportive. In fact he’s said that on a talk show. It all works out.

  10. Kittycat says:

    Congrats

  11. Swack says:

    I miscarried between my 2nd and 3rd babies. Announced it early and then miscarried. My two were very upset. So when I got pregnant again I waited until after the 9th week because most miscarriages occur before then.

  12. Sharonk says:

    I have always loved Alec’s work and think he’s a great versatile actor. We grew up in the same town although I’m older.
    He grew up in a big family, in a small modest house w a father who had a roving eye.
    I think he’s looking for a stable family. It’s too bad he didn’t find it at a younger age.
    It’s kind of ridiculous that he married someone so much younger and thirsty for attention.
    At least he got the family he always wanted. She got money and prestige but unfortunately for her an old guy.

    • ChillyWilly says:

      Oh please, he wanted a young piece of ass and a hospice nurse for his old age years. Dude is an awful person, not some poor, lost man child looking for the family he never had.

      • L4frimaire says:

        He’s really an insufferable jerk. Liked him on 30 Rock and some of his films, but his ego bigger than his giant head. I guess she really loves babies but he should get a vasectomy. He’s more than filled his population quota.

  13. Mia4s says:

    Congratulations to the soon to be employed baby nurse, night nurse, and nanny!

  14. Busyann says:

    When they first got married I expected at least one baby, but she keeps going like an energizer bunny. If that makes them happy then, yay for them, but that is a lot of children in a short period of time.

  15. Cat says:

    She clearly loves being pregnant and having small babies, so congratulations! And the miscarriage must have ben tough on her and Alec– I’m currently 10 weeks pregnant with my second child, and we haven’t told anyone yet, so I can’t imagine putting out there in Instagram like she did so soon! To each her own, though..

    • Christin says:

      Congratulations!

      My longtime best friend (also a co-worker) miscarried her first child. People had heard about the pregnancy were congratulating her, not realizing her terrible loss, and she handled it with incredible grace. When she became pregnant again, she waited until 12 weeks to tell anyone.

  16. Immy says:

    This must be crazy for Ireland was an only child (and future sole heir to everything for so long).

    With each new half-sibling her inheritance is getting smaller and smaller…

    • margedebarge says:

      I always had a soft spot for Ireland after the pig business. I follow her on insta. Bearing in mind that she’s a Hollywood kid/nepotism model, she does seem to overall have a pretty good head on her shoulders. Big animal lover, not overly wild, has at least a decent relationship with her dad (she wouldn’t have done his roast if there were bad blood). She visits her dad’s crew occasionally and seems especially fond of the oldest/only girl.

  17. Soupie says:

    I’m not usually this mean but I wonder if Alec got snipped and didn’t tell her and she came up pregnant, what would they do then?

    On a lighter nicer note, I wish them well. I myself would never have 5 kids. I stopped after 2 and those were spaced 3 years apart.

  18. Sour Patch says:

    That’s a lot of babies! I’m 9 weeks pregnant. We saw the baby for the first time and it’s heartbeat. I’ve had two miscarriages, but I’m feeling good about this pregnancy. I’m still surprised people announce so early? I was going to wait at least 5-6 months before making an announcement.

    Congrats to them! But wow, Alec is getting too old for this.

  19. Jessica says:

    I enjoyed the roast. I was glad Ireland was there. Her bit was good. De Niro seemed grumpy the whole time (but then did well when it was his turn). I was really surprised no one from 30 Rock was there. Did he burn all those bridges or what? Only Chris Redd from SNL was there.

    I assumed he did the roast for the money, but he actually donated the fee to charity, so I guess he’s not that hard up?

    • Borgqueen says:

      Boy did Ireland get her revenge on Alec at the roast (though the roast felt like a Caitlyn Jenner roast/platform to get back into the the good graces of the trans community). Ireland was great at the roast. Now onto Caitlyn Jenner roast. The best two jokes of the night: (1) the NBA and rapper thank Caitlyn for giving his daughters daddy issues and (2) Caitlyn gender confirming surgery confirms that no one in the Kardashian/Jenner clan wants a white dick. Ha ha

      • Jessica says:

        Loved those jokes! 🤣

        Nikki Glazer is a good roaster too. She’s a regular on these and she always goes straight for the jugular. Ken Jeong was having so much fun the whole time. Alec seemed in good spirits. I liked it.

      • Lauren says:

        OMG Ireland’s roast was EPIC! I was like yessss you go girl!

  20. sherry says:

    If she wants privacy, why does she exploit her personal life on social media? And act as though she’s as big a celebrity as he is?

  21. lowercaselila says:

    I was just talking to a group of women in my Yoga class and someone said there is a new term for women like Hilaria. who like to have lots of babies. They are called “Bumpaholics”. So I looked it up. Some women seem to view having more children as an alternative to addressing their own personal problems. “Bearing another child can sometimes provide a substitute for deciding on a career path, making a marriage work, or even wrestling with questions of self-worth,” Thought it was interesting. I guess they will have to hire another nanny.

    • AnnaKist says:

      That’s interesting, exactly what my son’s ex is doing. She had two children with my son, but as soon as their relationship ended, she was with another fella and had his child within 10 months. A couple of years later another child. Meanwhile, she is on welfare, living in state housing, and our government had already introduced new rules that meant once the youngest child turned 6, the mother had to switch from a single-parent benefit to unemployment benefits, as well as look for work. Her youngest is now 6.5 years, and what do you know, she’s pregnant again. I’d thought she’d planned for a better future, as she’d often visit for help in completing a course in social work. But that was almost 5 years ago, and still no work. I realize she has low self esteem and other issues, and I try not to judge, but all her children are caught in the welfare trap. Her oldest children will likely end up living with their dad or even me, in an effort to break the cycle. I think she’s definitely a bumpaholic.

    • Giddy says:

      So these Bumpaholics adore being pregnant and having a baby in the house. What they seem to lose sight of while they put precious pictures on Instagram, is that those babies grow up. It’s hard enough having 3 or 5 little ones. Of course, someone like Hilaria can hire those baby nurses. But guess what! When those kids are all hormonal teenagers, Mon and Dad are in charge. And if even one of Alec’s children inherit his tendency for anger, it’s not going to be pleasant.

      • blacktoypoodle says:

        They’re only babies for 18 months. They’re teenagers for 8-10 years. Why does no one say they want teenagers?
        There are going to be a lot of teenagers in the house. For a long time.

    • Annie says:

      I think there may be women like this, and Hilaria may be one, but it’s also an incredibly nasty term. That kind of judgmental nastiness can go both ways. I don’t like being pregnant at all, but for well-thought out reasons having children is incredibly important to my husband and I. They are private, and partly tragic reasons, why we hope to have more, but I’ve already been insulted by strangers for having 3. They don’t know my story, they don’t know our reasoning, and if I found out someone called my a bumpaholic they’d be out of my life.

  22. Lady says:

    I just don’t understand how this is possible. I have one and by the end of the day, the last thing I want to do is have sex! I’m kind of joking…but also slightly serious. Good for her. I lost my second and after that, my sex drive depleted immensely. Now I’m 43 and want another one but my husband got snipped and I realize I waited way too long to have kids.

    • AnnaKist says:

      Yeah, I’ll bet you don’t have housekeepers, nannies or whatever, to help you out, and maybe you even work outside the home. Have you looked into the possibility of reversing the snip? Good luck.

    • Adrianna says:

      They have help which makes it all possible.

  23. Oliviajoy1995 says:

    She keeps having kids because she’s not the one who takes care of them. They still have a ton of nannies. She irks me and I’m not entirely sure why? Maybe because she loves to take selfies in her underwear all the damn time? I don’t even know. Lol

  24. Lizzie says:

    imagine pathologically getting pregnant over and over b/c that is your “brand”

    my grandmother had six kids in 7 years and her uterus literally fell out….so good luck to hilaria i guess?

    • Korra says:

      My great aunt had 12 kids over a period over 20+ years before her uterus fell out, so Hilaria may have room for a few more after this one. The only thing my great aunt has over Hilaria is that she started really, really young – 19/20 – because it was normal back then to have kids and get married not long after finishing high school. Hilaria isn’t have 12, but I would not be surprised if she spends the rest of her 30’s and into her early 40’s being pregnant.

  25. Ann says:

    Baldwin is too old and has been too old to keep having children. The children fathered by old men have a much higher risk for a variety of symptoms and diseases and besides, no 20 year old needs an 80 year old father.

    • ME says:

      Breeders don’t actually think about the consequences of having too many kids and having them at such an old age. They have kids for their own personal satisfaction. It’s so damn gross. I just recently saw this news story about how in India a lot of senior citizens are doing IVF. The oldest woman to give birth is 73 and she gave birth a few weeks ago in India to twins. They used a donor egg and her husband’s 79 year old sperm ! The world has gone insane.

  26. original_kellybean says:

    I will not comment on her pregnancy. You do you, Hilaria. But I was quite surprised how good Alec was on that roast. I didn’t think he would have a sense of humour about himself but he was very good-natured about all the jokes. And his jokes were quite funny too.

  27. Ali says:

    She has my dream life and I’m not kidding. I LOVE being a mom and would totally have had more kids if I’d started younger/had the resources to have more. A houseful of kids, a supportive spouse and no financial stress?Yes, please.

    • Sophie says:

      We seem to be in the minority here, but I am totally with you. I only have 2 kids but would have had at least 4 if I had started younger and I had more money! I’m jealous of her setup.

  28. Redgrl says:

    Wow she looks different in that bottom photo – I didn’t recognize her with the light hair and odd pose… I had to lift my glasses to see if it was Ireland…or is it?!

  29. KKC says:

    Hilaria’s thirst is a given at this point, but I *totally* see this as partially Alec’s struggle with aging and his “legacy”. Especially when you remember he came from a giant Irish-Catholic family.

    My Dad stalled on kids heavily with his first wife, and then basically collected kids like pokemon for wife 2 (went from 3-7 over the course of 3 years, steps and babies). His actual parenting and mental health aside, I do think men hit a stage where they start romanticizing this “elder statesman head of the family” bs.

  30. Notsoanonymous says:

    As someone doesn’t have living parents anymore – and I’m not even 40 – I’m suddenly way more aware of how horrible it will be for the kids of couples like this (much older dude having babies with a younger woman) to deal with their dad dying while they are relatively young. It’s pretty heartbreaking from that perspective.

    (No judgement on anyone here having their babies later in life, I did too. Losing my only living parent two weeks ago has been hard and given me a different view is all.)

    • lucy2 says:

      I’m so sorry for your loss.

    • ravynrobyn says:

      @ NOTSOANONYMOUS-I’m so very, very sorry for your loss. My mom passed almost 8 years ago, yet I still feel her near me every once in awhile to let me know she’s with me and loves me. I used to doubt her “signs” because they were so subtle, but now I know what to look for.

      I truly believe our loved ones never leave us, maybe one day you will be comforted by this.

      Wishing you peace, strength, love and healing light 💕

  31. Amelie says:

    She reminds me of my friend who has four kids under the age of 5 (my friend is only 31). You do the math of how many years she’s been pregnant…! The only reason she kept having kids was because she really wanted a girl. The first three were boys and at long last the fourth (and supposedly last) was a girl. She told me she had a tubal ligation because she was 100% done having kids so this is the only reason I believe her now. She also had 4 C sections and my guess is the doctor told her she couldn’t keep having C sections… how many C sections can a woman have anyways? There’s gotta be a limit?

  32. Chelly says:

    They had 5 nannies when the only had w kids. I can imagine how many they have now and it kind of pisses me off. My niece is 911 dispatcher and she and her husband had to pull their 1 child out of day care cause it was too expensive. Must be nice to be so financially secure, these are things they dont need to worry about so they’ll just keep popping them out till they say they’re done. Good for them I guess

  33. sunshine gold says:

    She has to be the thirstiest of all celebrity wives – that announcement is hysterical.

  34. Guest says:

    Yes, it’s lovely to be financially secure. No stress about working long hours, I can enjoy being a SAHM with my angels. Hilaria loves being a traditional woman, good for her. Her body, her choice. What’s the point of spending the whole day at work, then coming home exhausted and being able to spend only a few hours with your babies? That sounds horrible. After uni I worked in the corporate world for 4 years and I have no desire to go back to work, I’m content with volunteering. Marry a supportive husband who can provide for you, so you can enjoy your babies while they’re so young.

  35. Blueskies says:

    That’s going to be quite the Baldwin army as they get older, they all look like their dad!

  36. Miss America says:

    Being “old-school” would be pretty easy when nannies do all of the work. I’m a stay-at-home mom to one, soon to be two, and it’s super full-on. My only downtime is my son’s naptime and I usually have to choose if I want to relax or clean or get stuff done. I’d love a nanny!
