On May 23, only a few days after her first daughter turned 3, Ireland took to Instagram to reveal her pregnancy with a playful video. The video showed her replacing a bottle of wine with sleeping pills, pulling out baby pajamas, and holding up a strip of sonogram images.
She dropped a red heart emoji in the caption as fans and famous friends offered their congratulations. “Congratulations to the whole family!! Another little one to love,” one fan commented. “Congratulations, Ireland! That is awesome news. Love how you made the announcement,” another follower wrote. “Congratulations! I’m due Thanksgiving and the Unisom tablets speak to me,” a third fan chimed in.
Ireland’s First Child Holland Turns 3
Only one week ago, Ireland shared an adorable carousel of images featuring her first child, Holland, who was about to celebrate her third birthday. One picture featured Ireland about to cut into a giant pink cake decorated with colorful sprinkles. Another featured a large stack of pizza boxes from the Costco food court placed in a shopping cart.
Other photos featured a pony ride, coloring sheets, and two cakes placed side by side on a table that was covered with a charcuterie board. “Tomorrow my little baby turns 3. Today we celebrated her,” Ireland wrote in the caption next to a pink heart emoji. Many fans and friends wished her a happy birthday. One follower wrote, “Lovely! PS Costco pizza for a party really is clutch. Good job, mama.”
Ireland Baldwin Gives Insight Into Her Relationship With Hilaria Baldwin
Alec Baldwin was married to Kim Basinger from 1993 to 2002. In 2012, he married Hilaria Baldwin. Together, they share seven children, often referred to as the “Baldwinitos.” They welcomed their eldest daughter, Carmen, in 2013. Two years later, they welcomed Rafael. Their son Leonardo was born the following year, and their son Romeo was born in 2018. Their son Eduardo was born in 2020, but their daughter, Maria Lucia, was born via surrogate around the same time. Their youngest daughter, Ilaria, was born in 2022.
Since becoming a grandfather, Alec has worked to improve his relationship with Ireland. As a result, she has formed a stronger bond with Hilaria since becoming a mom herself. In September 2025, she shared a lengthy Instagram post, in which she explained that people would be quite “surprised” if they knew Hilaria the way that she did.
Ireland Baldwin Reveals How She ‘Bonded’ With Hilaria Baldwin
In the Instagram post, Ireland shared a photo of her holding up a dog, while Hilaria held up her newborn baby. In the caption, she warned that the post may “come out of left field since I don’t post about her or any family members much.” However, she admitted that she wanted to address the comments that she saw on social media.
One rumor was that she was “only playing nice” with her father’s family in order to get an inheritance. “I’m not getting an inheritance. I have 7 siblings,” Ireland joked. Things took a serious turn when Ireland admitted that Hilaria had “a far more complex and chaotic upbringing than she lets on and I think that’s why we’ve maybe bonded in some ways?”
“She didn’t always feel safe and seen. Sometimes, she is too loyal to a fault. She is eccentric and totally bat sh-t crazy (in a fun way) but she saved my dad’s life,” she continued, likely referring to the 2021 “Rust” shooting incident. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot and director Joel Souza was injured when a live round was discharged from a firearm that Alec was using as a prop on the set of the Western film.
Ireland Says That Hilaria Is The Reason For Her ‘Close Relationship’ With Her Father
Ireland praised Hilaria for turning “his health around” and for showing him “the forgiveness and kindness that he needed.” She went on to say that she “also recognizes and nourishes the parts of my father that are the most compassionate and wonderful. She’s taught him that he doesn’t need to suffer inside of his own head and stay stuck in his own past.”
“Hilaria is the reason I am able to have the close relationship with my father that I do,” she continued. “She is the reason I get to have siblings/a big family that I’ve always wanted. She has always respected me, accepted my flaws, embraced me, and has always shown me kindness. I met her as a teenager and I needed her as an example.”
“I still very much look up to her now,” Ireland wrote, calling her a “gem” and saying that she “deserves all the love.”
