Ireland Baldwin has come out swinging against her step mom Hilaria Baldwin's critics in a candid social media post. Sharing a lengthy post via Instagram on Thursday, September 4, Ireland praised the Dancing With The Stars contestant, who is married to her dad Alec Baldwin. "I wanted to take a second to talk about my step mom @hilariabaldwin. I think if people actually knew her the way I do, they would be quite surprised," Ireland, 29, wrote.
