Hilaria Baldwin admits she ‘miscounts’ her seven kids

Hilaria Baldwin is mum to seven kids with husband Alec – Ilaria, María, Eduardo, Romeo, Leonardo, Rafael, and Carmen – and is also stepmother to the actor’s daughter Ireland.

Hilaria Baldwin has so many children that she frequently “miscounts” them.

The 42-year-old is mum to seven kids with husband Alec – Ilaria, María, Eduardo, Romeo, Leonardo, Rafael, and Carmen – and is also stepmother to the actor’s daughter Ireland.

During an appearance on the Whine Down with Jana Kramer podcast, Hilaria admitted that being mother to such a big brood means she can get confused about which of her kids she’s addressing.

She said: “Trust me, I miscount them! I’m that mom [when] like somebody’s doing something, I’m like, I go through all the other names and find I’m like, ‘You know, whoever you are, stop doing what you’re doing.’”

Hilaria also spoke about her and Alec’s different parenting styles during the podcast chat, explaining that she and her husband both wear different “hats”.

She said: “Alec and I are both extremely, extremely fiery. I know I’m like the alpha parent. There’s certain things that he knows he has to ask my permission for with them. You know what I mean? And so, it’s like ‘Oh, can they have this whatever.’ And I’m like, ‘No. They cannot have this whatever.’ [Or] ‘Can they go?’ ‘No. They cannot.’

“And then there’s other things like our social schedule where, like, he gets to choose that more. So, like, we have, like, our hats that we wear.”

Hilaria’s podcast interview comes after Alec opened up to E! News about the most important thing he wants to ensure his kids grow up with.

He said: “I want my kids to grow up having hope because right now it’s more hopeless than I’ve ever seen.

“I mean, kids have a latent learning curve. They get it. It might not be on the tip of their tongue for their daily rhetoric, but they get it. And … we’ve got to continue to fight to prove to our children that you got to keep fighting.

“You’ve got to have hope, and you’ve got to keep fighting to take the reins of power in our society and that responsibility, that awesome responsibility away, from people who are going to abuse it.”
