Hilaria and Alec Baldwin welcomed a sixth child, just six months after the yoga guru gave birth to their fifth child, Edu, after two painful abortions.
The 37-year-old mother sparked furious speculation on Monday when she shared an image of herself cradling a newborn baby, alongside the couple’s other five children, Edu, Romeo, Leonardo, Rafael and Carmen.
Hilaria revealed little about the baby’s identity, simply by adding the caption of the post ‘7’ and adding a heart emoji. However, a source close to the Boston-born yoga guru confirmed to People that she and Alec are now parents of six babies.

Newcomer: The 37-year-old woman, who gave birth to her fifth child Edu in September, is seen holding a little baby in her arms, but gave little information about the child’s identity
Tip: Hilaria simply put the caption of the image ‘7’, referring to herself and the six children portrayed, and revealed that the photo was taken by her husband Alec, 62
Hilaria welcomed her fifth child, son Eduardo, in September 2020, after suffering two devastating abortions; it is not known whether her sixth child – whose name has not yet been released – was adopted or was born through a surrogate mother.
A spokesman for the yoga guru declined repeated requests for comment on the new addition, referring to DailyMail.com back to Hilaria’s Instagram post.
In the image, which was taken by SNL star Alec, 62, it shows Hilaria lying in bed surrounded by her children – however, as the couple’s five known children are seen, the proud mother is also seen cradling another baby in her arm.
The baby, whose identity is not known, is curled up against Hilaria’s stomach and wearing a light pink outfit.
In a provocative post shared in her Instagram stories, the proud mother also asked her followers to count ‘how many babies’ they could see in the photo, giving them the option to choose ‘5’ or ‘6’.
But in addition to social media posts, neither Alec nor Hilaria commented on reports of her new arrival – which takes place less than two years after the yoga guru suffered the first of two miscarriages, the first of which happened in April 2004. 2019, while the second was in November of the same year.
The couple announced that they were expecting their fifth child in April 2020, however, the arrival of a sixth baby is not something anyone has publicly addressed, although Hilaria declared in November last year that she ‘looked a lot’ as if they had ‘finished’ expanding your family.
“It looks like we’re done,” she told People a month after giving birth to Edu, when asked if she expected to have more children.

However, the wellness expert admitted that she would never say never, joking that she had thought she was “finished” in the past – only for the couple to decide that they wanted to expand their family further.
“Everyone is asking me that question,” she continued. ‘I do not know. I said in the past that it was over when it wasn’t over.
‘I think, now, I’m so tired. And I feel, just with COVID, it’s just insanity. Now, during the days of COVID, it looks like we’re done.
She added that her children were used to ‘new siblings arriving’, revealing that they were already asking ‘when the next one will arrive’.
But while Hilaria was very open about her maternity journey – documenting her pregnancy on Instagram and sharing intimate details about her miscarriages – both she and Alec kept the news of her newest arrival a secret.
Hilaria has only returned to posting regularly on social media in recent weeks, after issuing an apology for falsifying her Spanish heritage after weeks of furious controversy over the scandal.

The influencer finally said ‘sorry’ for the saga in a shared post on her Instagram account on February 5 – six weeks after a thread on Twitter about her fake European story went viral.
Hilaria hardly confessed that she had misled people about her Spanish roots, instead of doubling her previous claims that she was raised “with two cultures, American and Spanish” and that she feels “a real sense of belonging to both”.
In a caption next to a photo of her with her husband Alec and their five children, she wrote in the Instagram post: ‘I spent the last month listening, reflecting and wondering how I can learn and grow.
‘My parents raised my brother and me with two cultures, American and Spanish, and I feel a real sense of belonging to both.
‘The way I talked about myself and my deep connection with two cultures could have been better explained – it should have been clearer and I’m sorry.
‘I am proud of the way I was raised and we are raising our children to share the same love and respect for both.
“Being vulnerable and striving to learn and grow is what we build our community in, and I hope to return to the supportive and kind environment we have built together,” she said.
In late December, it was discovered that Hilaria – who in the past claimed to have grown up in Mallorca and spoke with a Spanish accent – actually spent her childhood in Beacon Hill, Boston, and became known as Hillary.
It all started with a single tweet on December 21, which said: ‘You have to admire Hilaria Baldwin’s commitment to her long decade of life, where she pretends to be a Spaniard’.
The woman then continued to post videos and evidence of how Hilaria’s accent has changed over the years.
Several former classmates confirmed that Hilaria was, in fact, raised in Weston, Massachusetts, by American parents without any hint of a foreign accent.
