As a dad to four sons and two daughters, Alec Baldwin has a full house, and he's feeling pretty content with what he's got. The beloved "Saturday Night Live" star recently joked that he's decided to stop trying for another baby girl with his wife, Hilaria Baldwin. In his signature humorous style, Alec shared this lighthearted revelation during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on September 23, 2020.
Alec Baldwin’s Playful Announcement
Speaking candidly at 62 years old, Alec Baldwin humorously declared, “I’m not gonna keep trying. I’m done trying.” The audience erupted in laughter as Alec, known for his wit and charm, delivered this playful line. It was evident that Alec was in good spirits, teasing the idea of wrapping up their family-building journey, at least for now.
Alec Baldwin’s family includes his eldest daughter, Ireland Baldwin, 24, from his marriage to Kim Basinger. He also shares five other children with Hilaria: Carmen, 7, Rafael, 5, Leonardo, 4, Romeo, 2, and newborn Eduardo. Despite their desire for another daughter, Alec humorously suggested that Hilaria might consider "finding a guy" capable of producing a baby girl.

Hilaria Baldwin’s Perspective
“My wife’s gonna get remarried,” Alec joked, sparking laughter from host Ellen DeGeneres. “She’s going to marry a guy who produces a girl.” While this statement was clearly tongue-in-cheek, it highlighted the couple's playful dynamic and their shared humor about family life.
Even though Alec is perfectly happy as the father of six, he admitted that Hilaria is the one who truly loves expanding their family. “I tell people my wife is a collector,” Alec quipped. “People collect cars, people collect watches, artwork. My wife collects babies … she likes babies.”
Alec continued with his trademark wit, explaining, “When the baby gets to be about three years old and they’re not vending machines of joy that you initially expect, we look at each other and say, ‘Time to have another baby!’” This humorous take on parenthood revealed the couple's lighthearted approach to raising a large family.
Alec Baldwin’s Gratitude for Parenthood
Regardless of whether Alec and Hilaria decide to expand their family further, Alec feels incredibly grateful for the children he has. The Golden Globe winner shared how being an older parent brings its own set of advantages. “Well, I think on one level, you appreciate it more,” Alec gushed to Ellen. “When I was younger, and work was primary, I had to divide my time with that.”
Given their deep love for parenthood, it wouldn't be surprising if Hilaria convinces Alec to attempt having another child. Speaking with People in August, the author of "The Living Clearly Method" expressed that the "best thing about having a big family" is the overwhelming sense of love that surrounds them.
“They say when you have one kid, you’re like, ‘I could never love another person as much as I love this kid,’” Hilaria reflected
