Rainbow baby! Hilaria Baldwin and Alec Baldwin welcomed their fifth child on Tuesday, September 8, after previously suffering two miscarriages within a year.
“We had a baby last night,” the fitness guru, 36, captioned a Wednesday, September 9, Instagram photo from the hospital. “He is perfect and we couldn’t be happier.”
Hilaria announced in April that she was pregnant with baby No. 5. “I don’t have the words to express how this sound makes us feel,” the “Mom Brain” podcast cohost captioned an Instagram video of herself listening to her baby-to-be’s heartbeat. “Just got the great news that all is well and all is healthy with this little munchkin. I wanted to share this with you. Here we go again.”
The Living Clearly Method author later told Us that she knew she had a little one on the way as soon as she started feeling “stupid.” She explained at the time: “That’s my first hint. I’m somebody that is very physically capable. I can do my yoga, I can dance, I can do this, I can [do] that, [but] I become a disaster. I bump into things.”
The Spain native wed Alec, 62, in June 2012 in New York and gave birth to their first child together, Carmen, now 6, two years later. They went on to welcome Rafael, 5, Leonardo, 3, and Romeo, 2. (The Saturday Night Live star is also the father of daughter Ireland with his ex-wife, Kim Basinger.)
In April 2019, Hilaria announced that she was “most likely” suffering a miscarriage and confirmed the loss later that same week. After announcing another pregnancy in September 2019, the former yoga instructor miscarried again two months later.
“We are very sad to share that today we learned that our baby passed away at 4 months,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “We also want you to know that even though we are not OK right now, we will be. We are so lucky with our 4 healthy babies—and we will never lose sight of this. … I told Carmen that this baby isn’t going to come after all, but we will try very hard to give her a little sister another time.”
Following Hilaria’s most recent pregnancy announcement, the Yoga Vida creator told Us that Carmen felt “really, really excited” about becoming a big sister again. As for Rafael, Leonardo and Romeo, “They’re just like, ‘Oh, that’s cool.’”
