Hilaria Baldwin recalls heartbreaking miscarriage
Hilaria Baldwin fought back tears during an episode of her reality show 'The Baldwins' as she recalled the pain she experienced when she suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage.
Hilaria Baldwin fought back tears as she recalled her heartbreak over losing a baby four months into her pregnancy.
The 41-year-old yoga instructor opened up about the painful experience during an episode of her reality show 'The Baldwins' revealing she had been expecting a child with her husband Alec Baldwin after undergoing IVF treatment only to discover late in her pregnancy that the baby hadn't survived.
Hilaria said: "So, I had a miscarriage ... [I] came out [publicly], had conversations that were hard to have for me. It’s a very hard thing to go through.
"I tried IVF and everything seemed to be going really well ... I lost the baby between four and five months ... [The doctors] don’t know why she died."
She added: "It was hard. I had an attachment, you know. I was excited. When you have a later miscarriage, loss, whatever word you want to use, your body has to essentially have the baby ...
"It is definitely a physically and emotionally hard experience."
Hilaria and Alec wed in 2012 and they became parents to Carmen, 11, Rafael, nine, Leonardo, eight, and Romeo, six, before starting IVF.
The couple's son Eduardo was born in September 2020 and their daughter Lucia via surrogate just five months later while their seventh child, a little girl named Ilaria, followed in September 2022.
Alec is also dad to daughter Ireland, 29, from his marriage to actress Kim Basinger.
The '30 Rock' star previously admitted he didn't plan on having such a big family and wishes he didn't have to work so he could stay at home and care for them all.
Speaking to Italian newspaper Il Corriere della Sera, Alec said: "I met my wife Hilaria when I was 53, in 2001, shortly before my birthday.
"We both love children and wanted to build a family together. We didn’t plan to have seven kids, but it happened, and I wouldn’t change a thing. I wish I didn’t have to work and could stay home with my children."
