Although he is only seven years old and is yet to rack up a list of achievements, Rafael has a beautiful personality, showing that he inherited some excellent traits from his parents. Here are rare facts about Alec and Hilaria's mini-me.
Birth of Rafael Thomas
Rafael Thomas was born to the famous couple in June 2015, joining his sister, Carmen, who was nearly two at the time. Although he is the couple's first son, his birth marked the third time Alec would be a dad, while it was his mom's second.
In April, Rafael broke his arm while playing at the park. It was a painful experience for the poor boy and his parents. The yoga instructor later shared a montage of photos showing her 7-year-old's arm in a cast.
The doctors had assured the couple that he was not due until two weeks, but Rafael proved them wrong by arriving a little early. As a result, Hilaria had a 23-hour labor before welcoming their first son.
Following his birth, the author shared a heartwarming photo of the infant's tiny fingers in hers; then she captioned the photo:
"We are happy to announce the birth of Rafael Thomas Baldwin."
Alec was equally happy to be a boy dad after two kids and announced the news via Twitter. His first daughter was from his previous marriage, while Carmen, his second child, became his next daughter shortly after marrying the yoga instructor.
Months later, while speaking about her delivery experience, Hilaria heartily noted, "it's his first son. He can't even believe it. Alec does other things, not change diapers."
At the time, the second-time mom revealed that her daughter performed beyond expectation, adding that Carmen stuck by the baby and always looked out for him. In addition, Rafael's parents coined a sweet and short nickname for their son. They often refer to him as "Rafa" whenever they post or talk about him.
Last year, when he turned 6, his mom shared a cute photo of the celebrant and his siblings standing in front of a giant golden balloon and behind a Voltron custom birthday cake.
Rafael's Hobbies
Rafael is only seven but already lives life on his terms! His hobbies include meditating, playing with his family, and love for his pajamas.
More than once, Hilaria has shared snaps of her son in the company of his older and younger siblings. In 2019, Alec showed the world his then-4-year-old son dressed in PJs as he assumed a meditating pose. The caption read, "The Dali Rafa."
In the past, the author excitedly revealed that her son is a fan of pajamas. A month after last year's birthday post of Rafael turning 6, Hilaria uploaded a snap of him at a ranch.
He posed in a traditional rancher outfit; a long-sleeved shirt, jeans, and ankle boots. Then, without mincing words, she quipped:
"Rafa is wearing clothes…He loves his pjs and he can always dress as he wishes…but it's nice to see him this way too. I always want him to feel 100% Rafael. Let our babes find their path on their own terms…this parenting lesson keeps shining over and over again on my mommy journey."
