Hilaria Baldwin reveals what she loves most about Mother's Day
Hilaria Baldwin says small gestures are what she loves most about Mother's Day.
The fitness influencer, 41, and actor Alec, 66, have been married since 2012 and share three daughters — Carmen Gabriela, 11, María Lucía Victoria, four, and Ilaria Catalina Irena, two — as well as four sons: Rafael Thomas, nine, Leonardo Ángel Charles, eight, Romeo Alejandro David, six, and Eduardo 'Edu' Pao Lucas, four, while Alec also has daughter Ireland Baldwin, 29, from his previous marriage to actress Kim Basinger.
Hilaria said in an Instagram post about Mother's Day in the US: 'I think one of my favourite parts of Mother's Day is watching them try to be secretive while they make cards for me.
'They are so excited and their energy of trying to surprise me melts my heart.'
Hilaria's post was a short Instagram Reel and included footage of cards, flowers and gifts from the children as the family marked Mother's Day together.
In a 2023 interview with Romper, Hilaria hinted Ilaria would likely be her and Alec's last child.
'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 said.
'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.'
Speaking about their large family, Alec said he had no regrets.
He added: 'I wouldn't change anything. I always joke with (Hilaria) and say, 'You know where I should be right now, don't you? We should be on (music mogul David) Geffen's yacht, drinking a cappuccino and reading a book, and having dinner with (director Steven) Spielberg or whatever.''
Hilaria responded: 'Instead we're changing diapers!'
Alec also reflected on how parenting has shifted for him over the years.
He said: 'Everything has changed. I think when you're her age and you have kids, and you get older, you get tougher,' he said. 'For me, as I'm getting older and older, and I don't want to be tougher. I don't want to be anything. I just want to be a father to my kids.
'I want to just watch and see what the years I have left us to experience and not have it be about me.'

Jessie J 'so grateful for the love and support' after breast cancer diagnosis
Jessie J has thanked her fans for their outpouring of "love and support" following her breast cancer diagnosis. The 37-year-old pop star went public with her health issues earlier this week revealing she is battling an "early" form of the disease and is currently undergoing tests before surgery later in the year - and she now has expressed her gratitude to everyone who has reached out to her since she explained her situation. In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "So grateful for all the love and support and kindness from everyone who has reached out to me in the last two days." Jessie - who is mother to two-year-old son Sky with basketball star Chanan Colman - previously revealed she was given the diagnosis prior to the release of her single, 'New Secrets' on April 25 and she has been "in and out of tests" since. She said in an Instagram video: "Before 'No Secrets' came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. I'm highlighting the word 'early'. "Cancer sucks in any form but I'm holding onto the word early. I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period." Jessie went "back and forth" with herself about whether she should share her news, due to there being "lots of opinions outside". However, the 'Who You Are' singer felt she should tell all, particularly because of the name of her latest single, 'No Secrets', which was inspired by a miscarriage she had in 2021. She said: "To get diagnosed with this, as I'm putting out a song called 'No Secrets' right before a song called 'Living My Best Life,' which was all pre-planned before I found out about this, I mean you can't make it up. "I just wanted to be open and share it - one, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. "I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me, with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. "I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much, similar and worse. That's the bit that kills me." Jessie is still planning to perform at this year's Capital Summertime Ball on June 15 at London's Wembley Stadium, but afterwards she will undergo surgery and "disappear for a bit". She said: "It wasn't something I'd planned, but yeah. I'm getting to keep my nipples, that's good. It's a weird topic and a weird situation. "I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive t*ts and more music." The 'Price Tag' hitmaker joked: "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job."

Nia Sanchez and Daniel Booko welcome fourth child
Nia Sanchez and her husband Daniel Booko have become parents for the fourth time. The Valley stars have welcomed a daughter named Adelaide Nicole - who joins elder siblings Asher, three, and one-year-old twins Isabelle and Zariah - and the couple shared the first picture of their little girl in a post on social media in which they declared they are "absolutely in love" with the new arrival. In a message posted on Instagram. they wrote: "Sweet little memories from Adelaide's first moments of life. We are absolutely in love! Birth story coming soon." The pair told Us Weekly they gave their daughter the middle name Nicole to honour Nia's mother, who shares the same name, because she's been such a huge help raising their family. Nia also revealed Adelaide's birth was much more "intimate" than her previous experiences in the delivery room. She told the publication: "The first moments with baby no. four felt so sweet and intimate. "In our previous birth experiences, we've had a lot more people in the room. And we've always had a doula. This time, it was just us with our doctor and two nurses. This birth was extra special because Danny was able to deliver the baby." The family recently moved into a new home in Santa Clarita, California and they are were unpacking at the time Adelaide arrived. Nia said: "We moved in about two and a half weeks before baby no. four arrived. We still have boxes everywhere and are not quite settled. But it feels great to have so much more space and a beautiful backyard for our children to play in." Nia went on to reveal she now feels as if their family is complete and they probably won't be having any more children. She explained: "This pregnancy definitely felt like a full circle moment for us. We had always talked about either wanting two children or four. 'When we skipped the line to three kids [after having twins], we began discussing no. four shortly after. We both come from families of four, so having four little ones of our own feels very full circle ... "I am really looking forward to watching all of my children grow up and be so close. We love creating special memories with our children and are excited to now do that as a family of six."
