Actor Alec Baldwin is seemingly in hot water with his oldest daughter, Ireland Baldwin.
The 65-year-old actor paid tribute to the seven children he shares with Hilaria Baldwin in a social media post on Thursday, but it looks like he forgot to include 27-year-old Ireland, who he shares with ex-wife Kim Basinger.
Father-Of-8 Alec Baldwin Admits He Forgot Ireland Baldwin In A Tribute To His Children

On Thursday, the “30 Rock” actor posted an Instagram carousel featuring all seven of the children he shares with Hilaria: Carmen, 9, Rafael, 7, Leonardo, 6, Romeo, 4, Eduardo, 2, Lucia, 2, and Ilaria, 7 months. The couple tied the knot in 2012 and welcomed Carmen the following year. Ilaria just celebrated her seventh-month birthday earlier this week, while the actor was away filming “Rust” in Montana.
“Seven reasons to carry on during some tough times,” he wrote in the caption. “I’m not gonna lie, without my family, I don’t know what my life would be.”
Unfortunately, it was the fans who were quick to point out that Baldwin was missing a child. “Don’t you have 8 children?” one user asked. “Don’t forget your first cute cub, Ireland!” another follower explained. “I’m sure your oldest is happy you left her out,” a third user chimed in.
Alec Refers To Ireland Baldwin As 'Billie Preston'

The actor was quick to correct his slip after fans pointed it out and followed up his tribute with an Instagram post of his daughter, Ireland. The black-and-white photo features a close-up of her face and doesn’t seem to resemble what she looks like now.
“We forgot Billy Preston! This one, the first one, is about to make me a grandfather. Oy,” he wrote in the caption. “What does Billy Preston have to do with your daughter having a child? Sorry if I didn't understand the reference,” one follower asked.
Keyboardist, singer, and songwriter Billie Preston has been known as the “fifth Beatle,” so it’s possible that he’s insinuating that Ireland often gets left out of the loop, which is unfortunate because, as Alec himself pointed out, she’s about to make him a grandfather.
Ireland Revealed The Name Of Her First Baby In January
Ireland Baldwin and her boyfriend RAC, born André Allen Anjos, are ready to welcome their first child. They announced the news that she was expecting on New Year’s Eve 2022 and then revealed her name in late January.
The aspiring screenwriter appeared on the “Girlboss Radio” podcast to share her “classy” name, which she also shares with a country. “We’re naming her Holland. I’m Ireland, so another country name, because we wanted to keep that consistent,” Ireland, explained, adding that she’s also “always loved” actress Holland Taylor.
“I’ve always loved that name since I was young, I just thought that was such a classy, beautiful name, so we’re going with Holland,” she added, explaining that she also wants to give her child the stability that she didn’t have growing up.
“What I’m most excited about is really more centered around a lot of things I really wanted in terms of stability as a child myself that I didn’t have,” she said. “What’s kind of exciting is I get to raise this little human and do things completely differently than what I was taught was the norm.”
Ireland added, “It’s cool that I get to unconditionally love this person and do my best to make her as equipped for this world and bada** as possible.”
Both RAC and Ireland just opened their new restaurant together in Gearhart, Oregon, called Good Times, just last month. Ireland recently took to Instagram to share an Instagram carousel full of shots of the interior restaurant of the food, chefs JJ and Doug, and, of course, the food!
“I can’t believe that I can announce this!! Our restaurant @goodtimes is officially opening THIS THURSDAY!” Ireland wrote in the caption. “I couldn’t be more proud of everyone who helped make this happen. André and I are humbled by the process but we are so excited to bring good food, wine, and a cozy community hang out to the town of Gearhart.”
“Is the entire menu gf?? Asking for a celiac (I’m the celiac),” one follower asked. “Most of it! All made in a certified gf kitchen. Our chef is celiac,” Ireland replied. There are also vegan and vegetarian options available as well.
