The couple’s choice of unique names, often with Spanish origins, has also sparked discussions. After a controversy in 2020 regarding Hilaria’s heritage and her use of a Spanish accent, the name of their seventh child, Ilaria, attracted attention. Despite some critical voices, it’s worth noting that Ilaria is an Italian version of Hilary, meaning cheerful.
In a world where every family’s journey is unique, the Baldwins continue to embrace theirs with love and joy.
