Alec Baldwin, 67, was visibly moved opening Father’s Day gifts with his eight children in an Instagram video shared by his wife, Hilaria.
The clip begins with the couple’s 2‑year‑old daughter, Ilaria, mistakenly wishing him a happy birthday, prompting Baldwin to laugh as he opened a silverware set. “Thank you, mother, for my silverware,” Alec joked.
The 67-year-old was brought to tears when Ilaria, sitting in his lap, earnestly wished him a happy Father’s Day. “Say, happy Father’s Day,” Hilaria prompted their youngest. Baldwin embraced her tightly and appeared to cry after she repeated after her mother.
His older children joined in with spontaneous birthday songs and playful candle-blowing. His real birthday is April 3.
“Happy father’s day to this daddy @alecbaldwininsta and to all the other papas out there! Or happy birthday as the baby says,” Hilaria captioned the clip. “Sending lots of love to all of you! #fathersday.”
The Baldwins share seven children together—daughters Carmen, 11; María, 4; and Ilaria, 2; and sons Rafael, 9; Leonardo, 8; Romeo, 6; and Eduardo, 4.

In February, Baldwin told People that he “wouldn’t change anything” about his family.
“I’m getting older and older, and I don’t want to be tougher. I don’t want to be anything. I just want to be a father to my kids,” Alec said on his TLC reality show, The Baldwins. “I want to just watch and see what the years I have left us to experience and not have it be about me.”

The show also addresses Alec’s involvement in the 2021 accidental shooting and death of a cinematographer on a film set and the couple’s 26-year age gap.
She was a 27-year-old yoga instructor when they met; he was 53.
Alec was indicted on an involuntary manslaughter charge in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed by a prop gun that Baldwin had handled. The criminal charges were later dropped.
