Ireland Baldwin is a successful model and actress. The 25-year-old has made a name for herself in the celebrity world, but before she was an actress and model, she was just the adorable daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger.
Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin first met in 1990 on the set of The Marrying Man. They tied the knot on August 19, 1993. On October 23, 1995, Kim and Alec welcomed their only child together, Ireland Eliesse Baldwin. When Ireland was 5, Kim and Alec separated; they officially got divorced in 2002.
Ireland grew up in the spotlight, since she comes from such a famous family. In addition to having famous parents, Ireland also has other famous relatives, including uncles Stephen Baldwin, Daniel Baldwin, and William Baldwin, and cousin Hailey Baldwin Bieber.
Now that Ireland is all grown up, she looks exactly like her mom. And fans can't handle how much Ireland and Kim look alike.
Kim Basinger rose to fame in the 1970s as a successful model. In the 1980s and 1990s, Kim transitioned to film and television, and she quickly became known as a sex symbol. She is well-known for her roles in Never Say Never Again, The Natural, L.A. Confidential, and The Door in the Floor.
In 1990, while filming The Marrying Man, Kim met Alec Baldwin, and they quickly fell in love. They tied the knot in 1993 and welcomed a daughter two years later. Ireland Baldwin was born on October 23, 1995.
Ireland was an absolutely adorable baby, and her parents doted on her. Although her parents had very successful careers, they always made time for their little girl.
Kim and Alec separated in 2000, after seven years of marriage. They officially got divorced in 2002. The split was not amicable, but eventually Alec and Kim were able to co-parent Ireland.
Now Ireland is all grown up, and she's absolutely gorgeous. Ireland started officially modeling in 2013, when she signed with IMG Models. Since then, her modeling career has really taken off.
It's no wonder Ireland became a model — not only is she tall and beautiful, she was raised by an iconic model. She was basically born for this career path!
Ireland's modeling career has been so successful that she has a huge Instagram following. The 23-year-old beauty has 530,000 followers, and it's easy to see why.
While some people follow Ireland because they're interested in her career, others follow her to find out more about her famous family. And some people — of course — follow her because she looks exactly like her mom!
On many of her photos, Ireland's fans can't handle how much she looks like Kim.
On one photo, someone wrote, "good gravy you are the spitting image of your momma."
On another photo, someone commented, "You look so much like your mother! Beautiful."
Another person noted that she looks like both of her parents: "Whoa looking more like both mom and dad."
"Definitely your mother's daughter," wrote another fan.
Like her mother, Ireland is known for being a blonde bombshell. She doesn't shy away from showing some skin, and she loves to show off her curves.
Although Ireland likes to get glammed up, she also has no issues going natural. She often posts makeup-free photos on her Instagram, which pleases many of her fans. By going makeup-free, she encourages many of her young fans to embrace their natural beauty as well.
Throughout the years, Ireland has been a bit of a wild child, but now she's fully committed to her career and family. She loves spending time with her four younger half-siblings: Carmen, Rafael, Leonardo, and Romeo (her dad's kids with wife Hilaria Baldwin).
Kim and Alec are so proud of their daughter, who has turned into a beautiful young woman. We can't wait to see where Ireland's career takes her next!
