Wicked Stepmother

Hilaria Baldwin knows her relationship with Ireland Baldwin isn’t traditional.

In the context of their relationship, Hilaria is often referred to as Alec Baldwin’s stepmother in Ireland because they are married. However, it’s worth noting that there’s an eleven-year difference between them, which may not typically align with societal norms for a conventional connection.

Hilaria explained during the March 23rd episode of TLC’s The Baldwins, “Our relationship as a stepmom and stepdaughter is unusual because of its technical definition. However, I am 11 years older than her, I didn’t raise her, and we have always shared a great sense of humor about this fact.

41-year-old Hilaria and Alec recently welcomed their youngest daughter, Ilaria Catalina Irena, who is just two years old. Interestingly, only eight months later, Hilaria’s sister Ireland, aged 29, also became a mother for the first time, giving birth to her daughter Holland, with her boyfriend RAC. The Baldwin-Thomas family also includes Carmen (11), Rafael (9), Leonardo (8), Romeo (6), Eduardo (4), and twin Maria Lucia (4).

Hilaria remarked that it’s marvelous since we shared pregnancy together, albeit slightly, which means my child is nearly nine months ahead of Ireland’s.

In my role as a lifestyle expert, I must say that, despite their busy routines keeping them apart at times, the recent installment of the program brought them back together in the bustling cityscape of New York – a moment worth savoring for any fan of their shared journey.

She mentioned in the show that it had been a while since she last visited Ireland due to their long distance and both having babies. Although Alec has already met his new granddaughter, she hadn’t met Holland until this recent trip. Despite frequently video calling and talking on the phone, they hadn’t physically met before. So, during this visit, they arranged a playdate for all the children in the morning.

They’ve come a long way since Hilaria was first introduced to Ireland, whose mom is Kim Bassinger.

Prior to becoming her stepmother, during our initial encounter, I had a chat with Alec, and I mentioned that if she didn’t take a liking to me, I wouldn’t stick around as I didn’t want to be the stereotypical wicked stepmother. Hilaria, who married the actor in 2012, reminisced about this. “I don’t see myself entering a family and causing strife,” she added.

In essence, she clarified that she wasn’t stepping into Kim’s role as a parent. She explained, “She has a mother with whom she shares a strong bond,” and went on to say, “My role wasn’t about coming in to take over parental duties.” Interestingly, her concerns were unwarranted. In fact, Ireland warmly accepted her: “It was effortless. We’ve never had disagreements.

Carol, who overcame a battle with breast cancer in 1991 at the age of 55, lived until she was 92. She passed away on May 26, 2022, leaving behind 25 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and a foundation dedicated to cancer research bearing her name.

In his tribute upon her passing, Alec expressed that his mother had taught him about starting over and persevering even beyond the second chance. For the past 25 years, she had been a tenacious warrior and a tireless advocate for the cause she was so passionate about.

Alec was married to Oscar winner Kim Basinger from 1993 until 2002.

Their daughter Ireland Baldwin was born Oct. 23. 1995.

Daniel shares daughter Kahlea, born in 1984, with first wife Cheryl. They divorced in 1989.

The actor has a daughter named Alexandra with his spouse Elizabeth, whom he was in marriage with from 1990 to 1996.

Daniel has a son named Atticus Baldwin, who was born in 1996, with his co-star from Homicide: Life on the Street, Isabella Hoffman. They were together until 2005. (In simpler terms, Daniel and Isabella had a child named Atticus in 1996, and they were a couple until 2005.)

Daniel was married to model Joanne Smith from 2007 to 2012.

They share daughters Avis, born Jan. 17, 2008, and Finley, who arrived Aug. 7, 2009. 

In the festive spirit of New Year’s Eve 2022, Daniel got married to D’Asia Bellamy, and on June 1, 2023, they were blessed with a baby boy whom they named William “Bat” Baldwin.

Daniel and D’Asia Bellamy exchanged wedding vows on New Year’s Eve in 2022, and their family expanded with the arrival of their son, William “Bat” Baldwin, on June 1, 2023.

Billy has been wedded to musician Chynna Phillips, who hails from an intricate and extensive family, since the 9th of September, 1995.

Jameson was born on February 27, 2000, and her brother Vance came along in 2001. Lastly, Brooke joined the family in 2004.

On October 3rd, 2019, it was disclosed by Billy that Vance had been diagnosed with cancer a full year prior and had completed 28 sessions of chemotherapy since then.

Every day, the teenager maintained an extremely optimistic attitude, remained focused, and tried to keep life as routine as possible, according to his father’s post. He’s a resilient individual, smart, hilarious, tough-as-nails, and has a heart full of kindness.

Chynna commented, “Our baby. Our hero.”

On the same day marking the anniversary of his diagnosis, as reported by USA Today, Vance shared on his personal account that he had been “free from the disease” for several months.

A reminder the genes are strong among the Baldwins.

Two years ago on this day, Billy shared a post showcasing his son’s progress since his cancer diagnosis. He described his son as one of the most remarkable and resilient children anyone could meet.

Baby of the Baldwin family Stephen has been married to Kennya Deodato since June 10, 1990.

They’re parents to daughters Alaia, born Jan. 23, 1993, and daughter Hailey, born Nov. 22, 1996.

Andrew Aronow, the founder of Pocket Ace Productions, was married by Alaia in the year 2017. Their daughter, Iris Elle Aranow, was born on August 17, 2020.

Overjoyed to burst, a new aunt proudly shared on her Instagram Story, ‘I’ve been struggling to contain my excitement, as my gorgeous niece has arrived and she’s simply perfect…Auntie Hails adores you tremendously!’

After being friends for ten years, Hailey tied the knot with Justin Bieber following a fast-paced romance, in an unassuming courtroom wedding in New York City on September 13, 2018.

On September 30, 2019, they finalized their union with an extravagant wedding in South Carolina. This allowed father Stephen to escort the bride, while sisters Alaia and cousin Ireland stood by her side as bridesmaids.

After marrying Justin, Hailey didn’t rush into changing her surname; instead, she gave the decision careful thought before making the change.

She confided in Bustle back in 2019 that it required a bit of time and effort to get accustomed to it, but indeed, it felt peculiar and called for some readjustment.

As a descendant of the Baldwins, I carry my family’s esteemed legacy with utmost pride. We have a rich history in our industry, and it’s an honor to be part of such a distinguished lineage.

The couple revealed in May 2024 that Hailey was pregnant with their first child together.

On Aug. 23, 2024, Justin revealed that son Jack Blues Bieber had arrived.

The singer titled a picture of the newborn’s adorable, miniature foot next to its mother’s well-groomed finger as “Welcome Home,” expressing a warm welcome to their newly arrived family member.

Justin’s mother, Patty Mallette, posted on X: “Congratulations, @justinbieber and Hailey! I love you forever, my baby Jack.” (This version maintains the affectionate nickname “Baby Jack” while making the post more easily readable.)

Stephen echoed the same sentiments, saying, “Indeed, I concur! Warm congratulations to you, and my hope that God will continually shower His blessings upon our loved ones.
