Hilaria Baldwin Opens Up About Unique Bond With Stepdaughter Ireland
Navigating an 11-Year Age Gap With Humor
Hilaria Baldwin is shedding light on her special relationship with her stepdaughter, Ireland Baldwin, emphasizing how their 11-year age difference has shaped their bond.
During the March 23 episode of The Baldwins podcast, the 41-year-old mother of seven reflected on their dynamic, describing it as an unconventional but close-knit relationship.
> “My relationship with Ireland is, I feel like it’s unique for a stepmom and stepdaughter relationship, because that’s technically what we are,” Hilaria shared. “But first of all, I’m 11 years older than her. I didn’t raise her, and we find tremendous humor in that, and we always have.”
