Hilaria Baldwin pregnant with a baby girl

Hilaria Baldwin revealed on Thursday that she is expecting a girl – and couldn’t be happier.

“Alec and I are overjoyed that we are going to be welcoming a little girl into our lives,” Hilaria Baldwin said on Extra.

The baby will be a half-sister to Alec Baldwin’s daughter Ireland, 17, from his first marriage to Kim Basinger.

Alec Baldwin, 54, had rather obviously been hoping for a boy to balance things out.

Speaking on the Rachael Ray Show, Hilaria Baldwin said: “[Alec] had the idea for Massimo the other day. It’s a lovely name, I just don’t know.

“That’s a very big name for a very little baby.

“We have a different idea almost every single day.

“I think you actually have to look at it once it pops out and say, <<Who are you? What is your name?>>”

While Hilaria and Alec Baldwin planning on having a baby so soon after their June 2012 wedding, they cannot wait to welcome the latest addition to their family.

Hilaria Baldwin, who now works as Extra‘s lifestyle correspondent, found out she was expecting at Christmas.

She said: “It was something that we both wanted – I don’t want to say it was a surprise and we didn’t want it – we were very excited when we found out.

“But we just got married in June… so it was a really nice Christmas present.”
