An inside look! Hilaria Baldwin rarely addresses her relationship with her 23-year-old stepdaughter, Ireland Baldwin, but the yoga instructor gushed over the model on Instagram.
Stepping up! Heather Rae Young, Jada Pinkett Smith, Gwyneth Paltrow and more stars have spoken fondly of their stepparenting roles over the years. “Blended families are NEVER easy … but we CHOOSE them,” the Red Table Talk host shared via Instagram in 2014. “When I married [husband] Will [Smith], I knew [his son] Trey was […]
“Often you hear horror stories about evil stepparents, and I wanted to make sure I did right by the family I was stepping into when I married Alec,” the fitness guru, 35, captioned a photo of herself looking up at Ireland in formalwear on Thursday, April 18. “I love my stepdaughter as much as I love my biological children, and I become a mommy lioness when I see comments that insinuate otherwise.

She added: “As someone who loves [Ireland], my job was not to step in and take over but rather respect what had been for the first 15 years of her life and then become a part of that, in a way that works for everyone.”
Jessica Simpson, April Love Geary and more celebrity parents have given birth to babies back-to-back. The Newlyweds alum and her husband, Eric Johnson, welcomed daughter Maxwell in 2012 and were adjusting to life with the 7-month-old when they found out that baby No. 2 was on the way. Simpson and the former professional football player […]
Ireland is equally taken with her stepmother, as proven in the comments section of the Instagram post. “I prayed for two lesbian moms from the womb but having two moms this way will do,” she wrote, adding a heart emoji.
