Alec Baldwin is embracing a new moniker.
As a guest on the Monday, Dec. 16 episode of David Duchovny’s podcast Fail Better, the X-Files star, 64, asked Alec, 66, about his life at home as a dad to eight children — daughters Ilaria Catalina Irena, 2, María Lucía Victoria, 3, Carmen Gabriela, 11, and sons Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas, 4. Romeo Alejandro David, 6, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 7, and Rafael Thomas, 9, with wife Hilaria Baldwin, as well as Ireland Baldwin, 29, with ex-wife Kim Basinger.

He continued, “She just had a baby, so I am a father and a grandfather in the same year.”
