'Rust' actor Alec Baldwin, wife Hilaria Baldwin expecting seventh child, call it ‘surprise’

"Our new baby is a very bright spot in our lives. A blessing and a gift during such uncertain times," writes Alec Baldwin's wife Hilaria Baldwin.

Washington: Actor Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria Baldwin are all set to embrace parenthood for the seventh time. On Tuesday, Hilaria took to Instagram and shared the good news with her followers. "After many ups and downs over the past few years, we have an exciting up and a huge surprise: another Baldwin is coming this fall. We were pretty sure our family was complete, and we`re beyond happy with this surprise," she wrote.

Hilaria had suffered a miscarriage in April 2019 followed by a pregnancy loss later that year. And in 2021, the family was embroiled in controversy after Alec accidentally killed cinematographer Halyana Hutchins and wounded director by firing a prop gun on the sets of ‘Rust’ film.
