Ireland Baldwin Says Mom Kim Basinger Was 'Mortified' By Her Strip Club Baby Shower

Model Ireland Baldwin, the 27-year-old daughter of "30 Rock" actor Alec Baldwin and "Batman" actress Kim Basinger, revealed that her famous mom was mortified at her strip club-themed baby shower.

The aspiring screenwriter announced that she was welcoming her first child with her boyfriend, RAC, born André Allen Anjos, on New Year's Eve 2022.

On Tuesday, Ireland appeared on the "High Low with EmRata" podcast and told her followers that although her mother is "pretty open," the strip club-themed baby shower was a bit too much for her.

“She watched me and my boyfriend get lap dances from eight strippers on the stage, and I think she was just like, ‘What is happening right now?'” she recalled. She told listeners that her 69-year-old mother "hid in a corner" after ordering "a pinot grigio at the bar with ice."

“She didn’t even know what to do with the money,” Ireland explained. “She threw a crumpled dollar bill as fast and as hard as she could … because she was so scared.”

Ireland's father, Alec Baldwin, was not at the party. Neither was RAC's parents, who Ireland says "thankfully" missed the strip club scene. She also revealed that her "Christian family" members did not attend the party and were not invited to begin with.

Ireland also revealed a few other tidbits about her life, explaining that gaining weight was "hard" for her during her pregnancy. She also revealed that she was "hysterically crying" after she shaved her head last year and encouraged others not to follow in her footsteps.

Although some celebrities don’t want to share the name of their new bundle of joy, Ireland had no problems opening up about the name of her baby in a January 2023 interview with “Girl Boss” radio.

“We’re naming her Holland. I’m Ireland, so another country name because we wanted to keep that consistent,” she said of the “classy name,” noting that she has also “always loved” Emmy-award-winning 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 explained. She also talked about how she didn’t have much stability growing up with two A-list parents and wanted to provide that to her child as they matured.

“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.”

“It’s cool that I get to unconditionally love this person and do my best to make her as equipped for this world and badass as possible,” she added.

In a candid Instagram post, Ireland admitted that she was struggling with her pregnancy. “Pregnancy is hard. It takes so much out of you. I wasn’t ready for that,” she wrote, describing the physical changes to her body and the mental challenges that came with it. “All of this is still worth it but it’s okay to admit how hard and scary it can be,” Ireland concluded. “You are not alone.”

“This s--- is HARD. And you’re not alone if you feel the same. And it’s ok to be REAL and post highlight reels. It’s ok to be happy and sad at the same time,” she wrote in the caption. “I am grateful but I am struggling and that’s perfectly ok.”

Father Alec Baldwin commented, “You are not alone” as fans and famous friends showered their support for the new mom. “Thank you for sharing. Pre-natal depression and anxiety are real. Not all of us glow. Another piece of advice I hated was enjoy pregnancy now, you will miss being pregnant when she's here.. F that,” one fan commented. “Pregnancy was hard and exhausting and debilitating. And that is OK.”
