On Sunday, Hilaria Baldwin and her husband Alec Baldwin welcomed their seventh child into the world. However, the joyous occasion was marred by criticism from followers regarding their choice of name for the newborn.
Hilaria, who has been accused of falsely claiming Spanish ancestry in the past, faced backlash once again. It was revealed that she was actually from Boston, not Spain, and had even been accused of inventing an accent and forgetting common English words, like cucumber. It was also discovered that she had previously gone by the name Hilary, rather than Hilaria in Spanish.
Given this background, it comes as no surprise that many eyebrows were raised when Hilaria announced that her daughter’s name is Ilaria Catalina Irena. She shared the news of her little one’s arrival on Instagram, expressing her excitement and calling the baby their “dream come true.”
The revelation of the child’s name garnered attention from many people. Hilaria’s Instagram caption stated, “She’s here! We can’t wait to share our little dream come true with you.” It was also mentioned that Hilaria’s management company had mistakenly listed her birthplace as Mallorca in an online bio, which she found disappointing.
In an interview, the yoga instructor explained that even though her birth name was Hilary, she chose to be addressed as Hilaria because that is how her Spanish family referred to her. She emphasized that the information she has shared about herself is clear.
It’s worth noting that Alec Baldwin has recently faced legal issues unrelated to the birth of his child. On October 21, 2021, there was a tragic incident on a movie set where Baldwin was practicing with a handgun which accidentally discharged, resulting in the death of cinematographer Hutchins. While the incident is subject to a lawsuit, Baldwin has denied any involvement and has vowed to never point a gun at anyone or pull the trigger.
Overall, the happiness surrounding the arrival of Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s seventh child has been overshadowed by controversy surrounding Hilaria’s background and the choice of their child’s name.
