Social media can glamorize people’s perception of pregnancy and make the journey seem easy. But, it is anything but, and Ireland Baldwin is realizing just how difficult it can be. The model shared on her Instagram her struggles, as she said, “Pregnancy is hard. It takes so much out of you. I wasn’t ready for that.”
While being vulnerable about her journey, Ireland took subtle digs toward her family. As many may know, Ireland’s parents, Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger split when she was 7 years old, per Us Magazine. Ireland alluded to how this affected the way she wanted to raise a child. She said, “I grew up with a very jaded perception of what love really looked like and I always wanted to have a child of my own with someone who would treat us right and love us unconditionally.”

Even with her boyfriend, Portuguese musician Andre Anjos, support it hasn’t been easy on the model. She shared, “He’s [Andre] everything to me but man, it’s hard moving somewhere with no family. It’s hard not being really close to family to begin with because they live far or are idiots that I want nothing to do with.” Ireland never addressed to whom that comment was directed, but she bravely continued to talk about her struggles. Ireland shared in her caption, “It’s ok to be happy and sad at the same time. I am grateful but I am struggling and that’s perfectly ok.”
