Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin love being parents to a big brood. Calling themselves "a Baldwinito dream team”  Alec is now the proud father of eight kids! The Baldwins share daughters Ilaria Catalina Irena, 6 months, Maria Lucia Victoria, 2, and Carmen Gabriela, 9, and sons Eduardo "Edu" Pao Lucas, 2, Romeo Alejandro David, 4 months, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 6, and Rafael, 7. The 30 rock star is also dad to a 27-year-old daughter Ireland Baldwin — who is expecting her first baby, a girl, with boyfriend RAC (born André Allen Anjos) — with ex Kim Basinger.

Last year when the couple announced that they were expecting their seventh child Alec captioned a clip of María Lucía where the baby cooed and giggled close to the camera. "People ask why. This is why. Being a parent is the ultimate journey," the actor wrote. "The smile, giggles, joy… ❤️," his brother Billy Baldwin commented below the sweet clip.

The 39-year-old yoga instructor married Alec, 65, back in 2012 and welcomed daughter Carmen, their first child, in 2013. Growing her family means a lot to Hilaria who has suffered heartbreaking pregnancy losses in the past. She suffered a miscarriage in April 2019 and months later, she conceived again. But 16 weeks along, she suffered another pregnancy loss in November 2019. While expecting her seventh child she revealed why she wasn't quite ready to share the baby's sex. "So many of you are asking what I'm having… I do know and I will tell you but I'm waiting for two things," the mom wrote on her Instagram Story at the time per PEOPLE. "1. I lost a baby at 4 months in 2019 (maybe some of you remember). I think about her daily and understand that motherhood has its beauty and its darkness," she said. "But I will wait until I'm past the point when I lost my daughter."

Now the family of nine is enjoying special moments together knowing how precious it is. Recently for Easter, Hilaria joked that she needed quite a bit of Easter candy in order to get a nice holiday photo with all of her 7 children. "The only way I got them all in the picture, was to hold a large plastic tub of candy on my lap…my face is either congratulating myself for a moment of mommy genius or wondering if the sugar high and crash later would be worth it," she pointed out in the caption of her Instagram post. "I love that by 7 kids, I’ve given up on the all looking at the camera and smiling, and just want them to be present in the photo," she added.
