How Many Kids Does Hilaria Baldwin Have? Inside the ‘DWTS’ Contestant’s Family
Hilaria Baldwin is making a run for the Mirrorball trophy on Season 34 of Dancing With the Stars, and she has the support of husband Alec Baldwin and their kids along the way. The family, whose primary residence is in New York, has relocated to Los Angeles to support Hilaria throughout the dance competition.
Earlier this year, Hilaria and Alec put their large family on display on their reality show, The Baldwins. Scroll down to learn more about Hilarla’s kids.
How many kids does Hilaria Baldwin have?
Hilaria is a mom to seven children. She and Alec share daughters Carmen Gabriela (born August 2013), Marilu Lucía Victoria (born February 2021), and Ilaria Catalina Irena (born September 2022), as well as sons Rafael Thomas (born June 2015), Leonardo Ángel Charles (born September 2016), Romeo Alejandro David (born May 2018), and Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas (born September 2020).

The author is also a stepmom to Ireland Baldwin, her husband’s daughter from his previous relationship with Kim Basinger. Through Ireland, Hilaria is also a grandmother to granddaughter Holland, born in May 2023.
Did Hilaria Baldwin give birth to all 7 children?
Hilaria gave birth to six of her children. She and Alec welcomed Marilu via surrogate just five months after Edu was born.
After initially keeping quiet about her decision to have two babies back-to-back and use a surrogate for one, Hilaria explained that she opted to do so following a miscarriage.
“People told me, ‘You’re older now. You’re 35,’ which now I know is a whole load of everything, but at the time, I bought it,” she told Romper, adding that she went on to try IVF, which produced two viable embryos. After a pregnancy loss, she got pregnant naturally, but still had one embryo left from IVF.
“I was afraid to carry it, but I didn’t want to leave it frozen,” Hilaria explained. “I felt that for some reason, my body rejected an IVF experience [and so it would again]. I know that sounds irrational, but sometimes when we are going through this, we can have feelings that might not always make sense.”
So, she had the embryo implanted in a surrogate instead and was then able to breastfeed both Marilu and Edu at the same time.
How many miscarriages did Hilaria Baldwin have?
Hilaria had back-to-back miscarriages in 2019. This came after she had “some chemical pregnancies scattered” before her fourth child.
In April 2019, Hilaria had a miscarriage after the baby’s “heartbeat wasn’t good” from the beginning of the pregnancy. At about nine weeks, there was no longer a heartbeat, she later revealed. That’s when she decided to undergo IVF. She had her embryo implanted at the end of summer 2019 and experienced a pregnancy loss that November.

“Right before the heartbeat, I started having this crazy, crazy cramping and a lot of bleeding,” she shared. “We were sure that I was miscarrying, and I was thinking, ‘I’ve come so far.'” However, the doctor assured her there was a heartbeat. At her 16-week appointment, though, she learned she had lost the baby.
“We are very sad to share that today we learned that our baby passed away at 4 months,” Hilaria shared on Instagram at the time. “We also want you to know that even though we are not ok right now, we will be. We are so lucky with our 4 healthy babies—and we will never lose sight of this.”
