Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria have come under fire from fans after posting a Father's Day tribute on Instagram, which included a photo of their 10-year-old daughter Carmen wearing makeup.

The Hollywood actor celebrated the occasion by sharing a montage of his children on social media.

Alongside Carmen, Alec is father to Rafael, eight, Leonardo, seven, Romeo, six, Eduardo, three, Lucia, three, and one-year-old Ilaria with spouse Hilaria, whom he wed in 2012.

However, it was the second snap, showing Carmen cradling a younger sibling with mascara and lip gloss applied, that sparked controversy.

Social media users were quick to criticise, questioning why the young girl was allowed to wear makeup.

Comments flooded in, with one user probing: "Why does a 10-year-old wear makeup?" Another chimed in with a similar sentiment, adding an eye-rolling emoji for emphasis.

The debate intensified as more followers weighed in; one remarked on Carmen's appearance, saying: "Looks older than 10!!"

Yet, not everyone was critical; a supporter defended the family, noting: "My grandkids love to wear makeup and it is just fun."

Another dismissed the fuss, commenting: "Who cares about her makeup? ! #judgykarens."

Fans rallied around Alec and Hilaria, with one supporter posting: "Beautiful family.

"My 8-year-old granddaughter loves playing with makeup and we let her! What's the big deal! So shut your negative mouths and move on."

Alec Baldwin later took to social media to share his gratitude for Father's Day wishes alongside a photo of his daughter Ireland with her partner RAC (Andre Allen Anjos) and their little girl Holland, penning: "Thank you to this group for the lovely Father's Day wishes. Love you all."

Ireland joined in the Father's Day celebrations by sharing a screenshot of her FaceTime call with Alec, captioning it "Happy Father's Day @alecbaldwininsta."

Hilaria also honoured her husband's role as a father with an Instagram post showing their children interrupting Alec's nap, writing: "Happy Father's Day!!! Accidentally let the kids into the room he was napping in (yet it was so circus epic that I stayed to film)....hope all you other dads got to finish your naps. Much love papas."

The Baldwins are set to bring their family life to the small screen with their own reality TV show slated for release in 2025. The press release for the upcoming show said: "Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have been making headlines since they were married nearly 12 years ago.

"In this TLC follow-doc series, Alec and Hilaria invite viewers into the home they share with their seven growing kids. For the first time, they're opening up their family lives and bringing everyone in to join in the non-stop love, laughter and drama."
