So you guys are working together. We're working together. And have baby together. We have baby together. And talk to me about, has she like entered the terrible twos yet? She's a really good kid. She's really good.
She is learning now a little bit of like pressing boundaries. We've definitely started a time out that she doesn't really stay in, you know. But she's really good. She's really good. And we took her to the park yesterday. And it's so funny to see the difference between boys and girls.
She's just so like, she sits and watches and all the boys are like fighting and throwing sand and like roughhousing. She started calling me Nick over the weekend. Yeah. That's cute. You know. It's very like, Nick. And so I told Natalie, you got to stop calling me Nick. I need a pet name because she's babe.
Yeah, well, sometimes my kids call my husband Alec Baldwin. The first and last. Alec Baldwin. How does he respond to that? Is he like, yes, how can I help you? Yeah, I mean, we're like, we're pretty... I think we, like, lean into the funny in our house. So it's kind of, it's just more fun. I mean, the kids are just so funny.
Although I have to say, I had my first girl, because I had a girl, and then I had four boys in a row, and then two girls. And so my first girl was that. I was just kind of, let's sit there. We'll start easy. I was, you know, look at these kids that are running around. And then I had the four boys, and yes, very much like that.

Chapter 2: What does Hilaria Baldwin reveal about her identity?
Um, my sixth child's girl, also very, she's a little bit more, a little more spicy. The baby, she's so bad. She is nonstop. My mother tells me she's my karma. She's, she's like. How old is she? She's turned three. Oh. But like, no, everything is climbing on things. How I was. Yeah. It was just so, I have to say that some, there's some of them, they just come out.
But it's funny that it took it to be your seventh for you to get. She had to be here. Yeah. And I named her after me too. I did. I guess kind of like I kind of brought into existence.
Yeah.
No, she's very funny. And it's funny because my first ones, they were so pretty well behaved. They didn't swear. They were pretty good. This one, she swears. She gives me the middle finger.
How old is she now?
Three. Just turned three. Wow. And how do you... What do you do? Well, so obviously she knows how to do these things because the older ones have taught her and because they think it's funny to see this little thing doing these things. And the problem is I laugh, which is like the one don't do that. Don't laugh. But I do. And so then when I say to her the other day, I was like, don't say that.
Don't do that. That's not that. Sorry. Don't do that. That's not nice. And she said, but you laughed yesterday. And I said, I did laugh yesterday. But you laughed yesterday. Um, so yeah, no, it's just, they grow through the phases.
What is the age gap between your first and your second?
21 ish months. Wow. So I had, and then 14 and a half months, 20 months. And then I had two losses. One was particular was late. It was like five months. Um, and so my next one is, uh, two and a quarter year or something like that. And then I have a surrogate baby who's five months after that one. And then I was like, I'm not having any more babies.

Chapter 3: How does Hilaria Baldwin manage parenting seven children?
Complete everything. And then again, the… So you found out you were pregnant and you were… Were you just…
obviously scared from what had happened previously that you were like I just I can't go through this again I need someone to carry this for me yeah it was it was such a traumatic experience because you know I mean science anybody who's done IVF knows that there's certain markers like the embryo was like whatever like the a it was everything was going so well you know and my body felt different like it didn't
feel… It just felt different. And everybody kept on saying, as they do to women, it's all in your head. It's all in your head. I didn't feel my first move until like more typical, like around 19 weeks, something like that, right, for the first one. Because typically women feel their first one later and then subsequent pregnancies you feel earlier. I felt my other ones before 12 weeks.
A little flutter. It almost feels like a little fish. Yeah. And… With the one that I lost, I didn't feel hurts. Like I did and then I stopped. And as I, you know, would talk about and they're like, it's too early. It's too early. This is, I know you felt the other ones, but like maybe you didn't. And it's too early.
And I remember to the appointment, which was just a regular appointment, I walked there and I walked and I walked and I walked and I had this feeling there was just something wrong. Yeah. And I go there. I try not to cry as I talk about it, but I go there and they put the monitor on me and she was dead.
And it was like, you know, at that point, you know, it looks like a baby has its fingers and its toes. And then you have to go home and you still have the baby inside of you. It was just, it was not a happy experience. So I was, I, you know, was very traumatized from that. And again, then your body goes through the experience of things that you had a baby once through.
Once, um, once she came out and, uh, but, but there's no baby. So I was like, I'm not doing that again. And again, nothing, nothing against IVF. I just, that was my one experience with it. And then obviously somebody else carried our, our other embryo perfectly perfect and, and she's here. And I also love that they're five months apart. It's like, it's so funny.
They're like, they're like the funniest things.
Well, we have been very open about it. I have suffered through three miscarriages after our first daughter. Yeah, all this year. And it's, yeah, it's something that I feel like isn't talked about in a way that makes other moms who've gone through it feel like they're not alone. You know, it's kind of only talked about in a way where it's like... don't get pregnant because this could happen.

Chapter 4: What challenges has Hilaria faced with public scrutiny?
Something's wrong. This isn't right. I feel it. I know it. And that is the one that unfortunately came out in our toilet. And thank God for my husband who fished that baby out of that toilet because I sat there being like, what do you do? What do you do? You can't flush this.
Yeah.
flush my baby down the toilet it's so heartbreaking and then to yeah have the next one you find out your oh my god here's my rainbow baby I got it this time I can do this to then have that same thing happen and now the doctor's like well one is pretty you know normal unfortunately two definitely hitting some murky waters I'm 26 like why I have a healthy baby at home easy delivery you know
Then the third and it's like you really you know we've now been seeing a fertility specialist we've now you know when I find out I have all these blood gene mutations that are literally killing off my babies and like now I have to go through all these extra. precautionary things to prevent miscarriages. And it's like the fear of, oh, my God, this is my fault. This is my fault.
What have I done to only come to find out like, oh, it is something within me. You know, it like validates all of the fears. How did you and Alec like work through that that mental battle?
I mean, obviously mine was so extreme of blaming myself that I didn't want to carry another embryo that way because I thought that it was my fault. That something about the science just didn't work with my body. And again, like maybe I'm different, maybe I'm broken somehow, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
And I know that's irrational. I know that sometimes bad things just happen.

Chapter 5: How does Hilaria Baldwin cope with miscarriage and loss?
Mm-hmm.
But at the time, I'm sure you can relate. You can't imagine how many tears your body can make. And you wake up. You sleep. And you wake up. You doze off. You wake up. And you remember it's real. And I remember that first night when I had to go home. Like, I'm sleeping with my dead baby inside of me. And they didn't know right away I could have the appointment to have her taken out.
And I was fortunate that it was pretty soon. But it's a, you know, you're like, my belly is a tomb. It was something to create life and now it's a tomb. But I think, you know, if I am your older sister, if I pull away the human experience that I share with you that I know how you feel.
it's not your fault and there's solutions as you're telling me, you know, because you are the one, yes, maybe your body has to have certain support, but thank God we live in time when you can get that support. Yeah. And also your body is what creates it. This is not existing outside of your body. So you're creating life and you just have to make sure that it's supported.
Just like we would support so many things in other parts of our life. So I think that, you know, it's, it's not easy being a woman, is it? No, no, it's not. And thank God you have somebody who's so supportive too.
Were you at that, that five month appointment by yourself? I was.
I was. And, you know, fortunately, the tech and I were very, very close, which all those babies before, we were very close. But I remember I just couldn't, because it was like I knew, I knew, and nobody was listening to me. And I knew, not that they could have done anything, by the way.
Yeah, yeah.
But, like, I knew. And I wouldn't, and she's like, no, you need to stop moving. We need to try to figure out what was going on, what's going on. And I never could figure out what happened. But it was just like, yeah.

Chapter 7: How does Hilaria navigate her career in the public eye?
No, they, I feel, what I've heard, I haven't seen it. What I've heard is they used us for clickbait at the beginning. But, like, I think, like, exaggerated our importance because never went there again. Yeah. But, yeah, no, they, like, the people, like, stole all this stuff and, like, then got arrested at, like, Domino's Pizza.
I don't know the exact things, but it was something kind of amazing for, like, a vegan, like, raw food place and all of a sudden, like, Domino's Pizza. It's kind of amazing. You guys can watch the documentary. You can tell me about it because I will not.
Thank you.
But so I was there with two of my friends celebrating that the guy I opened the yoga studios with that I was working at had just found the second location. And I worked seven days a week and I never, I didn't go out that much and I was just working, working, working. And so my friends were like, we have to go out. It was really warm. It was February in New York and it was really, really warm.
And, um, so we're sitting outside and, uh, having a glass of wine. Um, I had been to the restaurant before then and I have hated the food. So I was like, guys don't eat here, but they have a really good wine list. And so we're drinking. And then there's, um, two tables next. And like the short story is Alec eventually was sitting at the table and he kept on looking at me.
And then when I left, he was like, he took my hand. He's like, who are you? I must know you. And I was like, Really? That's a stupid line. And that was that. But it worked. It did. What is y'all's age difference? 26 years.

Okay. We're 18. You look so young.
Thank you.
How old are you?
45.
Because we are young. We are young. Yes. Yes, we are in our 40s. We are young.
Going back to Alec in the delivery room, Nick was like, I'll be by your head. Let doctors be doctors. Like, I will hold your hand. Is that similar to how Alec is? Or is he like, let me pull this baby out. I feel like I've been here before.
So there's multiple.
Multiple versions.
So there's three stages that I think are very important for Alec. Alec. And I like to give him credit because I know people like to pick him apart. You guys are going to write all these things online of, oh my God, Alec Baldwin did this. Okay. There's the pre-epidural, because I did epidurals with all mine. There's the pre-epidural labor. I hate him during that part. I hate him.
