Ireland Baldwin gives insight into her relationship with Hilaria Baldwin
Alec Baldwin was married to Kim Basinger from 1993 to 2002. In 2012, he married Hilaria Baldwin. Together, they share seven children, often referred to as the “Baldwinitos.” They welcomed their eldest daughter, Carmen, in 2013. Two years later, they welcomed Rafael. Their son Leonardo was born the following year, and their son Romeo was born in 2018. Their son Eduardo was born in 2020, but their daughter, Maria Lucia, was born via surrogate around the same time. Their youngest daughter, Ilaria, was born in 2022.
Since becoming a grandfather, Alec has worked to improve his relations with Ireland. As a result, she has formed a stronger bond with Hilaria since becoming a mother herself. In September 2025, she shared a lengthy post on Instagram, in which she explained that people would be quite “surprised” if they knew Hilaria like she did.
Ireland Baldwin reveals how she ‘hooked up’ with Hilaria Baldwin
In the Instagram post, Ireland shared a photo of herself holding a dog, while Hilaria held her newborn. In the caption, she warned that the post might “come out of left field since I don’t post much about her or her family members.” However, she admitted she wanted to respond to comments she saw on social media.
Rumor has it that she was “just playing nice” with her father’s family in order to get an inheritance. “I don’t get an inheritance. I have 7 brothers and sisters,” Ireland joked. Things took a serious turn when Ireland admitted that Hilaria had “a much more complex and chaotic upbringing than she lets on and I think that’s why maybe we bonded in a way?” »
“She hasn’t always felt safe and seen. Sometimes she’s too loyal to a fault. She’s eccentric and totally crazy (in a funny way) but she saved my dad’s life,” she continued, likely referring to the 2021 “Rust” shooting incident. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot and director Joel Souza was injured when a live bullet was fired from a gun that Alec used as a prop on the set of the western.
Ireland says Hilaria is the reason for his ‘close relationship’ with his father
Ireland praised Hilaria for improving “his health” and showing him “the forgiveness and kindness he needed.” She went on to say that she also “recognizes and nurtures the parts of my father that are the most compassionate and wonderful. She taught him that he doesn’t need to suffer in his own head and stay stuck in his own past.”
“Hilaria is the reason I can maintain the close relationship I have with my father,” she continued. “It’s because of her that I have the siblings/big family I always wanted. She always respected me, accepted my flaws, embraced me, and always showed me kindness. I met her when I was a teenager and needed her as an example.”
“I still admire her a lot now,” Ireland wrote, calling her a “gem” and saying she “deserves all the love.”
