Alec Baldwin And His Wife Spark Outrage Over Name Of Their 7th Child⬇️

Hilaria Baldwin, wife of actor Alec Baldwin, has welcomed their seventh child, but the baby’s name—Ilaria Catalina Irena—has reignited criticism over her controversial claims of Spanish heritage.

Though born in Boston, Hilaria had long implied she was from Spain, even once forgetting the English word “cucumber” during an interview. Critics slammed the baby’s name as another example of “cultural cosplay,” with one Twitter user calling it a “fake Spanish name from a Boston-born mom.”

Hilaria previously addressed the backlash in 2020, saying she spent time in both the U.S. and Spain and that the name “Hilaria” reflects what her family in Spain calls her. Despite her explanations, public debate continues over whether her choices represent cultural appreciation—or appropriation.
