Hilaria Baldwin has revealed that her nine-year-old son Leo had a terrifying accident during a family beach holiday, ending up in hospital with a cut above his eyebrow that required medical attention.
The wellness influencer posted a carousel of photos on Instagram on Monday, including snaps of Leo lying on a hospital bed with his forehead being examined, sitting in a wheelchair and later showing off his bandage injury with the resilience only a nine-year-old can muster.
“Trigger warning: Leo split open his forehead and we were well taken care of at the hospital. So grateful for the kindness and care,” she wrote in her caption.
She was quick to assure the followers that the rest of the trip had been far more peaceful.
“Besides, it’s been to the beach together, practicing walking like… Memories made. I missed them so much it hurt.”
The post also included videos of the family enjoying time by the water, including one of husband Alec, 67, wading in the sea.
The escape came after Hilaria, 42, had been away on a work trip since March 8, where she was open about how much she missed her family.
“My heart hurts because I’m leaving all my babies at home,” she wrote at the time.
“My children asked me how many hugs and kisses will feel like enough: I told them that there is no number that will make us not miss and hurt each other every day.”
Hilaria and Alec share seven children, daughter Carmen, 12, sons Rafael, 10, Leo, Romeo, 7, and Eduardo, 5, and daughters María Lucía, 4, and Ilaria, 3.
Aside from Leo’s visit to the hospital, it seems the reunion was everything she had hoped for.
