Alec Baldwin will be a father for the eighth time, his wife announces

Hilaria Baldwin, 38, and Alec Baldwin, 63, are having their seventh child. The revelation was made by them through social networks by filming the reaction of the other six children at the moment they received the news.

“After many ups and downs over the last few years, we have exciting news and a huge surprise: another Baldwinito is coming this fall. We were sure our family was complete and we are very happy with this surprise,” Hilaria began in her post. when recalling the inconvenience after the fatal shot fired by her husband on the set of “Rust”.

“I’m sharing with you the moment we told the kids – as you can see they are super excited! Our new baby is a very bright spot in our lives. A blessing and a gift in such uncertain times,” she added.

Both are already parents to María Lucía Victoria, 13 months, Carmen Gabriela, 8, Rafael Thomas, 6, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 5, Romeo Alejandro David, 3, and Eduardo Pao Lucas, 18 months. Alec is also a father to Ireland Baldwin, 26, from his relationship with actress Kim Basinger.

In 2019, Hilaria had a miscarriage, but she always held out hope to be a mother again.

In the midst of all this happiness, Alec still finds himself involved in the matter of the fatal shot that killed a person on the set of “Rust”. More recently, he claimed in a lawsuit that his “Rust” contract protects him from financial liability in the event of the accidental firing of a gun that killed the film’s director of photography.

Baldwin has been named as a defendant in several civil lawsuits, including one by the husband of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed in October when a gun the actor was using during a rehearsal fired a lethal bullet.

In addition to playing the lead role, Baldwin served as the film’s producer. In a lawsuit filed against other producers, Baldwin seeks to enforce a “broad indemnity clause” in his contract that, according to his lawyers, protects him from production-related financial claims.

Baldwin said he was heartbroken over the incident but does not believe he bears any responsibility because he was told the Colt .45 revolver he received was “cold” — an industry term meaning it is safe to use. He said he pulled the hammer back on the gun but didn’t pull the trigger.

“Rust”, a western, was being filmed at Bonanza Creek Ranch in New Mexico. Santa Fe authorities are investigating the incident and say they are not ruling out criminal charges. A key question is how the live ammunition ended up on set.

Matthew Hutchins, the cinematographer’s husband, argued in his lawsuit that Baldwin was responsible because he fired the gun and should have checked it didn’t contain live ammunition.
