Hilaria and Alec Baldwin revealed their little girl’s name on Tuesday, but it remains a mystery: was she born through a surrogate?
Baby birth timeline Lucia has been a major topic of discussion since Hilaria, 37, and Alec, 62, announced Monday that they have had their sixth child just five months after birth. to the second youngest, Eduardo.
When pressed for more details, the couple’s representative told Page Six: “We have not yet issued a statement or confirmed anything – what she posted is.”
Although Baldwinists keep quiet when they share how their youngest “Baldwinito” came into the world, social media fans have noticed that Hilaria is following a surrogacy-based maternity agency in New York called Alcea Surrogacy Instagram.
Coincidentally, the company congratulated one of their “IPs”, who represent the intentional parents, for the “amazing birth of their daughter” just a few days before Alec and Hilaria shared the first photo of baby Lucia.
Page Six could not confirm whether Hilaria and Alec used Alcea Surrogacy to meet their sixth child. A representative for the company and Baldwins did not immediately return our requests for comment.
Alec and Hilaria live in Manhattan with their newborn and five other children, 5-month-old son Eduardo, 2-year-old son Romeo Alejandro David, 2-year-old Leonardo Ángel Charles, 4-year-old son Rafael Thomas and 7-year-old daughter Carmen Gabriela.
However, it is also possible that Hilaria will follow the story, as she interviewed Alcea Surrogacy co-founder Angela Richardson-Mook on her November podcast “Mom Brain.”
In the interview, Richardson-Mook praised Hilaria for being so open about the difficulties of losing her pregnancy after suffering two miscarriages in 2019.
“I see that Hilaria is so cruel and vulnerable in terms of her own losses,” the chief executive said. “The more times he speaks and the more influential people there are, the more … the devastation of loss. There is perhaps hope in what he leads. “
Although Hilaria was honest about her pregnancies in the past, she did not reveal many details about Lucia’s birth. In that interview with Richardson-Mook, she spoke of the “fear” that some may experience that “people will not see you as a mother if you used a surrogate,” but she did not say if she ever used one.
“But then you really think, not only about those nine months, but about all the sleepless nights, all the vomit on you, school, all these lessons. . . all the other experiences that make you a mother and a father “, she added.
Richardson-Mook stressed that this is not an easy decision for parents and that it takes parents on average about 50 months to work through the surrogacy process.
If this had been the case with Hilaria and Alec, then she would have gone into surrogacy long before she became pregnant with Eduardo.
“It all comes down to her mother’s guilt,” Hilaria said on her podcast. “I deserve this? Am I a risk that I am willing to take – on both sides? ”
On social media, a fan asked Alec about the birth of his child, writing: “Who is the mother? She was not pregnant. She gave birth six months ago. If he were a surrogate, say so. ”
He quickly replied, “You should close and take care of your own business.”
