Alec and Hilaria Baldwin Spark Baby Number Eight Rumors with Playful Instagram Video
New York, NY – August 1, 2025
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, already parents to a bustling brood of seven, have fans buzzing with speculation about a potential eighth child after Hilaria shared a quirky Instagram video on Wednesday, July 30. The clip, set to Celine Dion’s “The Power of Love,” shows Hilaria playfully hiking up her skirt and placing her feet on Alec’s lap, captioned with a lighthearted “Foot rub time…makes sense to me.” While the video is undeniably goofy and a touch romantic, some followers are reading deeper into the couple’s chemistry, fueling rumors of another “Baldwinito” on the way.
The video, which has garnered thousands of likes and comments, prompted fans to chime in with playful predictions. “He was looking like he was gonna make baby #8. Too cute,” wrote one follower, while another quipped, “Here comes baby #8!” The comments reflect a mix of amusement and curiosity about the couple’s famously large family, which includes Carmen (11), Rafael (10), Leonardo (8), Romeo (7), Eduardo (4), María Lucía (4), and Ilaria (2), plus Alec’s 29-year-old daughter Ireland from his previous marriage to Kim Basinger.
Despite the fan fervor, there’s no concrete evidence that Hilaria, who turned 41 in January, is pregnant or that the couple is actively planning to expand their family. Sources close to the Baldwins emphasize that the video was meant as a fun, flirty moment, not a pregnancy hint. Hilaria, a yoga instructor and wellness advocate, has been open about the physical toll of her seven pregnancies, telling People in February 2025, “My body’s really tired,” when asked about having more children. Alec, 67, admitted to occasional “baby fever” but clarified, “I don’t really want [another baby],” suggesting the couple is content with their current family dynamic.
The speculation comes on the heels of the couple’s TLC reality show, The Baldwins, which premiered on February 23, 2025, offering a glimpse into their chaotic yet close-knit household. The series, met with mixed reviews, has thrust the Baldwins’ family life into the spotlight, amplifying public interest in their every move. Some fans have long speculated about the circumstances of the couple’s rapid family growth, particularly the close timing of Eduardo and María Lucía’s births, though Hilaria has attributed this to surrogacy following two miscarriages in 2019.
While the Instagram video has sparked chatter, not all reactions were positive. Some X users criticized the post as “cringe” or politically charged, reflecting the polarized public perception of the Baldwins, especially after Alec’s legal battles following the 2021 Rust shooting. Others, however, defended the couple’s playful dynamic, noting that spouses can enjoy each other’s company without procreating—especially with seven kids and eight pets already in the mix.
For now, Alec and Hilaria appear focused on their reality show and raising their “Baldwinitos,” with no confirmed plans for baby number eight. Hilaria’s history of candidly sharing family milestones suggests that if another pregnancy were on the horizon, fans wouldn’t be left guessing for long. Until then, the couple’s latest viral moment seems to be just that—a lighthearted snapshot of a marriage that thrives amid the chaos of their massive family.
