Hilaria Baldwin believes her family has reached its desired size. In a recent cover story by Romper , the 39-year-old entrepreneur Hilaria Baldwin addresses the topic of expanding her family and sets the record straight about her desire to have more children.
After the joyous arrival of her seventh child, Ilaria Catalina Irena, eight months ago with her husband Alec Baldwin, Hilaria contemplates the possibility of further expanding their family. The former yoga instructor expresses that her recent addition, born in September, is likely to be her “last baby,” stating with a touch of certainty, “probably, most definitely, almost completely.” “This is probably, most definitely, almost completely my last baby, I’m always afraid to say it. I was putting away my maternity clothes recently and was like, ‘I’m afraid to give them away because then I’ll find out I’m pregnant,” she told the outlet.
While Hilaria may be inclined to conclude her childbearing journey, it appears that her husband may hold a different perspective on the matter, suggesting that they may not be entirely aligned in their readiness to stop expanding their family. “Every single time I have a baby, my OB writes down the vasectomy doctor on a Post-It, and I bring it home to Alec. He hasn’t done it yet,” she revealed. Hilaria amusingly reflects on her husband occasionally exhibiting childlike behavior, playfully suggesting that he can sometimes resemble an additional child in their household.

In her interview with Romper, Hilaria, who is 26 years younger than Alec, humorously remarks, “Am I his mommy? Sometimes I’m his mommy. Sometimes. At the beginning of our relationship, everyone was like, ‘She must have daddy issues because she’s married to somebody older.’ But it’s actually the opposite,” she addressed the initial assumptions about their age difference. But she clarifies that it’s not true, implying a dynamic in which she takes on a nurturing role at times within their relationship.

Apart from assuming a maternal role with her 30 Rock alum husband, Hilaria is also occupied with raising their seven children—9-year-old Carmen, 7-year-old Rafael, 6-year-old Leonardo, 5-year-old Romeo, 2-year-old Eduardo and Marilu, and the youngest of the lot, 7-month-old Ilaria. While she confesses that she doesn’t particularly enjoy being pregnant, Hilaria genuinely cherishes the act of “creating love” by embracing the arrival of new babies into their lives. “I love giving birth. This last time around, I pushed her out in a minute! Giving birth is like going down a water slide that’s really scary. And then you get to the bottom, and you’re like, ‘I want to do this again,'” the 39-year-old mother explained.
