Hilaria Baldwin says her doctor recommends Alec Baldwin get a vasectomy 'every single time' she has a child — but he hasn't yet
- Hilaria Baldwin said Alec hasn't had a vasectomy, though her doctor recommended he get one.
- The mother of seven, 39, told Romper that birth control makes her "depressed," so she doesn't use it.
Hilaria Baldwin, 39, is a mother of seven. While she thinks her family is done expanding, in a recent interview with Romper, she was hesitant to say she'd never welcome another baby.
"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," she told Bustle Digital Group's chief lifestyle officer Emma Rosenblum, referring to her husband of 11 years, Alec Baldwin.
She added that she's not on birth control because it makes her "feel depressed." Plus, she simply loves babies.
Hilaria and Alec's kids range in age from about nine months to 10 years old. Carmen was born in 2013, followed by Rafael, Leonardo, Romeo, and Eduardo, born in September 2020. They then shocked the world about six months later when they welcomed María Lucía via a surrogate. Their youngest child, Ilaria, was born in September 2022.
Hilaria said she doesn't like being pregnant, but "I love giving birth."
"This is probably, most definitely, almost completely my last baby," she said of Ilaria. But she admitted she's "afraid" to say it out loud or give her maternity clothes away because she thinks that when she does, she'll discover she's pregnant again.
Alec also has an adult daughter named Ireland with his ex-wife, Kim Basinger. The 27-year-old welcomed her first child in May 2023, making Alec a grandfather, Hilaria a step-grandmother, and their children together aunts and uncles.
The family has been making headlines for years for reasons that go beyond their sheer numbers. Charges against Alec Baldwin related to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his movie "Rust" were dropped in April 2023. Plus, there's the matter of Hilaria's misleading public life and accent.
She told Romper that she finds it "ridiculous" that anyone would be "cruel" to another person, but she deals with online trolls so often that she hired a private investigator to look into the lives of her most frequent online bullies. She told Rosenblum that these people were "lonely" and "lost."
Her older children are so afraid of the paparazzi outside of their house that they've taken to sleeping in the same room together in bunk beds for their own comfort.
"I reassure them that no one's going to come into the house, but it's like telling a kid that monsters don't exist. They're like, 'Yeah, right. Of course they do,'" she said.
