Actor Alec Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, are celebrating the 5th birthday of their son, Romeo.

The couple tied the knot in 2012 and welcomed the first of their seven children the following year. In May 2018, the couple welcomed their third son and fourth child: Romeo Alejandro David. Although they were originally planning on naming him Diego, Hilaria revealed that she felt that Diego wasn't really the child's name shortly before she gave birth.

“He didn’t have a name for two days,” Hilaria told PEOPLE at the time. “His name that we were pretty set on the entire time was Diego, which I still really love. I told my kids, ‘Diego is gonna come,’ and they were all waiting for him.” However, she eventually decided to name him Romeo. Both parents took to Instagram to celebrate his birthday.
