The mend. Alec Baldwin Hilaria Baldwin’s 6-year-old son, Rafael, is home from the hospital after a playground injury.
“Rafa broke his arm really badly yesterday, playing at the park,” the Living clearlyAuthor, 38, captioned a Thursday April 28 Instagram slideshow. “You will see him with a cast for quite a while now, so I wanted to give you a heads up. We are grateful to Lennox Hill emergency department for taking such good care. So grateful to the doctors and the nurses for your expertise and kindness.”
The “Mom Brain” podcast cohost, who is also the mother of Carmen, 8, Leonardo, 5, Romeo, 3, Eduardo, 19 months, and Lucia, 15 months, went on to describe the “heartbreaking” experience.
“We were with the babies when it happened and to get that call makes your heart sink,” the Massachusetts native concluded. “His little voice on the phone: ‘I want my mommy.’ Knowing even the 20 min[utes]To get to him takes 20 minutes[utes] too long. To not be able immediately to take away their fear and pain. We don’t know what to do. We were at the hospital until quite late and then we made our bed on our floor (wild sleeping, was afraid he might get up off our bed). I don’t know how many times he called for me last night. At one point I heard him whispering to himself, recounting what happened, saying over and over: ‘I broke my arm.’”
The former yoga instructor concluded, “We are relieved that, while it will be a long recovery road, he is certainly on it.”
Alec, a 64-year-old New York University graduate, and the grad shared their news with their Instagram followers in March, that they were expecting their seventh child together. (The 30 RockAlum is also father to daughter Ireland, 26, and his ex-wife. Kim Basinger.)
“After many ups and downs over the past few years, we have an exciting up and a huge surprise: another Baldwinito is coming this fall,” Hilaria wrote at the time, referencing her previous miscarriages. “We were pretty sure our family was complete, and we’re beyond happy with this surprise.”
The following month, the actor addressed haters “ask[ing] why” he and the Yoga Vida cocreator keep expanding their family, posting a video of his youngest child making funny faces at the camera.
“This is why,” the Emmy winner captioned the April 13 footage. “Being a parent is the ultimate journey.”
