Alec Baldwin Appears in Idyllic Family Pic & Begged Not to Have More Kids – His Wife Also Hopes They're Done

• 65-year-old Alec Baldwin recently shared a lovely photo with his three adorable children.
• The father of eight will soon become a grandpa as his eldest daughter is pregnant.
• Despite being a doting dad, Alec has been criticized for his decision to have more kids.

Alec Baldwin has a whopping 2.5 million followers on Instagram. On Tuesday, April 18, he gave his fans a glimpse into his beautiful family life by sharing a sweet picture of his three kids.

Perched on their sofa with a leopard print blanket covering them, Alec beamed as he looked at his cute bundles of joy. He captioned the post, "Watchin' Blippi…" which pointed to him enjoying the popular and informative children's program with his little ones.

Although the "Prelude to a Kiss" actor shared the photo on a lighter note, he was oblivious to the reactions it would garner. While many were happy to see him having a wonderful time and dubbed the scene a "perfect picture of a beautiful family," others weren't so appreciative.

Two months later, the yoga instructor shared the scoop on what the future looked like for her family.

Many criticized the "Blind" star for continuing to have more children despite his age. "No more kids, please stop!🙏🏻" wrote one user.

Alec's Response to People Who Criticized Him for Having More Kids

Surprisingly, this isn't the first time the "It's Complicated" alum has faced criticism from the online community regarding his decision to grow his family.

There have been a few occasions in the past when he experienced severe backlash from people who flooded his social media posts with disapproving messages. One such instance was when the actor shared an Instagram post to mark his 65th birthday on April 4 this year.

The post's caption read, "65 isn't so bad…" and showed Alec's wife' Hilaria Baldwin, and their seven kids alongside a little cat. Alec flashed a warm smile as he posed for the family portrait with his son, who was dressed in his pajama suit and wore a cute pout.

Even though Alec's heart-melting birthday post amassed messages of love and support from family and friends, his critics quickly shared their two cents. "It's obscene and selfish to have that many kids when our planet is already overpopulated," stated one user.

A second commenter begged the couple to stop having kids. A third person mentioned, "Stop having kids please (sic)!!" Another user pointed their remark at Alec and Hilaria and divulged, "She needs to stop! That's enough kids for his age."

Despite being slammed every now and then for his large brood, Alec once explained why he continues to have kids. In April 2022, the "Miami Blues" star posted a heartwarming photo of his blue-eyed little one laughing adorably and sparkling with joy while looking at the camera.

"People ask why. This is why. Being a parent is the ultimate journey," wrote the doting dad. The Baldwins share seven children and welcomed their youngest girl, Ilaria Catalina Irena, in September 2022.

A few months before little Ilaria's birth, the "Shortcut to Happiness" star explained how his tendency to love had grown over time, and he couldn't wait to embrace fatherhood again. While tending to seven kids can be daunting, Alec's Instagram post clarified that he didn't mind expanding his family.

Hilaria Shares Her Take on Her Large Family with Husband Alec

While exclusively talking to US Magazine in October 2022, Hilaria expressed how she felt about her enormous brood with Alec. "I would have said before [that] [I'm] definitely done. Seven kids in, I feel like I am, but it's Alex and me — so time will tell!" she explained.

Two months later, in December, the yoga instructor shared the scoop on what the future looked like for her family. She noted how she thought she was done having more kids after her sixth child with Alec, jokingly adding that she and Alec were hopefully through with growing their brood.

But while Hilaria revealed no plans to embrace motherhood again, she aimed a comment at her husband, saying he hadn't undergone a vasectomy. "But Alec still has to go and do his part," said Hilaria, adding that things could happen if her husband refused to comply.

Alec's Oldest Daughter Announces Her Pregnancy

Alec Baldwin is a father of eight children and shares a daughter with his first wife, Kim Basinger. His eldest daughter, Ireland Baldwin, rang in the year 2022 with wonderful news.

Turning to her Instagram on December 31, she shared her ultrasound picture and wrote, "Happy New Year ❤️." Ireland had been dating her boyfriend, André Allen Anjos, most popularly known by his musician name, RAC, for over a year before falling pregnant with their first baby.

Using the same sonogram picture, RAC also shared the news on his social media profiles. The couple received congratulatory messages from their loved ones, including the Baldwin family.

On January 3, 2023, Alec and Hilaria's oldest daughter, Carmen, broke the delightful news to her baby siblings. In a clip posted by mom Hilaria on Instagram, Alec sat on the sofa with his younger kids as his nine-year-old daughter narrated that Ireland would soon be a mother.

Big sister Carmen even explained to her younger siblings that they would become aunts and uncles and what that meant. When Daddy Alec asked if he was getting any promotion, he was told he would soon be a grandfather. Hilaria captioned the post:

"From all these excited tiny uncles and aunties and grandpa Alec and grandma me... We are so happy for you, Ireland and Andre…can't wait to meet the little babe ❤️(sic)."

The doting soon-to-be mom, Ireland, replied, "Awwww thank you guys. The littlest aunts and uncles 🔥❤️ (sic)."

Alec's Bumpy Relationship with Daughter Ireland

Alec's relationship with his eldest daughter has seen its fair share of ups and downs. In 2007, a leaked voicemail from the "Chick Fight" star sent the media into a frenzy, where he called his then 11-year-old daughter a "rude, thoughtless little pig."

The actor and comedian later apologized to his daughter and released an official statement, citing parental alienation as the root cause for feeling on edge. But not everyone forgot his belittling remarks for his own flesh and blood, with many wondering if his relationship with Ireland had changed over time.

Later on, Alec confessed that his voicemail and rude comment had scarred his relationship with Ireland. In his 2017 memoir, the actor admitted his words had deeply hurt his daughter, and people continued to slam him because of them.

In 2019, Ireland took a jab at her dad and jokingly said she didn't know much about him because he had been an absent parent. She noted how she had not checked the voice messages from her dad for the past 12 years, subtly pointing to Alec's leaked voicemail incident.

Over time, the daddy-daughter duo has used humor and wit to mend their broken relationship, which seems to work well for them. In one of their photos from 2015, Alec and Ireland were seen reading a book titled, "If I were a pig."

Clearly, they felt much better about making a joke out of their difficult past and taking a step forward to heal their bond. We hope all stays well for the Baldwins and that Alec can maintain a loving connection with all his children.
