Ireland Baldwin keeping pregnancy private after ‘toxic’ followers ‘instill fear’
Pregnant Ireland Baldwin is taking a step back from Instagram because of invasive fans commenting on all her posts.
The model blamed her “toxic” followers for her plans to stay as “private as possible” before — and after — welcoming her first child with boyfriend R.A.C.
“Women, moms, ‘nurses,’ like this are the people who ruin sharing your pregnancy on social media or at all,” the 27-year-old wrote via Instagram Stories Saturday while sharing a screenshot of a direct message.
In the DM, an Instagram user begged Baldwin to check her blood pressure because her face looked a “little puffy due to preeclampsia,” which is a pregnancy complication.
“I hate people who go out of their way to instill fear in others,” Baldwin wrote over the weekend, noting that she checked her blood pressure in a “panic” after reading the message.
“I hate unlicensed and unqualified people who diagnose people of bulls–t over the internet,” she continued.

“My blood pressure is normal,” Baldwin clarified with a photo for proof. “My blood work is normal. I’m fine.”
She noted that her “cheeks and face have been puffy [her] whole life” and her “hands aren’t swollen.”
Because of that interaction, Alec Baldwin’s daughter will no longer be sharing “tidbits here and there” about her pregnancy experience.
“You can only block so many frightening/ judgmental/ deranged low lives in a day,” she explained, calling social media a “toxic pit of nothingness.”
Ireland revealed her pregnancy news in a December 2022 Instagram post, writing, “Happy New Year.”
Not only has the Good Times co-owner continued to post bump updates, but she has even disclosed her little one’s name and sex.
“We’re naming her Holland,” Ireland told “Girlboss Radio” podcast listeners the following month. “I’m Ireland, so another country name because we wanted to keep that consistent.”
She gushed over the “classy” and “beautiful” moniker, admitting in the January interview that she has favored it since childhood.
That same month, Ireland credited R.A.C., whose legal name is André Allen Anjos, with keeping her from “los[ing] her mind” ahead of Holland’s birth in a lengthy Instagram rant.
The couple have been publicly dating since 2021.
