The 37-year-old yoga instructor - who has Carmen, seven, Rafael, five, Leonardo, four, Romeo, two, Eduardo, six months, and Lucia, three weeks, with husband Alec Baldwin - was heckled by men while out on a walk with her dogs but joked they soon "ran away" when she told them about her large brood so suggested they'd be a great deterrent for other females too.

She wrote on Instagram: " Walked my dogs, per usual had a few men approach me saying the typical inappropriate things.

'Now all I have to do is say: ''I have six children,'' and they practically go running away."

She later added: "If you ever need to get out of an awkward situation, I'll lend you the rights to pretend claim my children as yours (from afar) and it works like a charm.(sic)"

Hilaria, 37, previously thanked the “very special angels” who helped bring Lucia - who was born via a surrogate - into the world, where she also revealed her tot’s full name is Maria Lucia Victoria Baldwin.

The beauty posted a picture on Instagram of Lucia and Eduardo sharing a sweet cuddle, and said she felt so “fortunate” to have welcomed her two youngest children after suffering a miscarriage in 2019.

She wrote: “Our hearts are filled with so much gratitude. The Baldwinitos craved so much to have a little sister.

“Many of you may remember the loss of their sister at 4 months in the end of 2019. There isn’t a day that goes by where we don’t ache for our daughter. When I found out our baby had died, I told our children that their sister was going to come, just not at that time. Nothing will ever replace her, but two wonderful souls have come into our lives, and we are humbled to know them.

“Our children were brave during our time of tremendous grief—braver than us...and they held out hope. To experience and accept life’s ups and downs is challenging, but a reality that all of us have no choice but to receive and process. I have learned that often our children are wiser than we are and their wisdom has guided us.

“Our rainbow baby, Edu, is such a blessing—we are overwhelmed by how fortunate we are to have him. We are living each day, bonding, and grateful for all of the very special angels who helped bring Lucía into the world.

“María Lucía Victoria and Eduardo Pau Lucas: our babies who bring light into our lives—almost like twins, we love you so much. (sic)”
