Previously, Basinger—who finalized her divorce with Alec Baldwin in 1993 after nine years of marriage—made a remark about the special similarities between her own journey to motherhood and Ireland's pregnancy, which the 27-year-old first announced in December by posting a sonogram on Instagram.
After many fans noted how Ireland Baldwin's baby looked like a small dog in the ultrasound photo, the "L.A. Confidential" star posted one from her personal collection and wrote, "I know it's hard to read…But in April of 1995, this was a note I wrote on one of my first sonograms of baby Ireland."
"It said '4 white paws and a tail,'" she continued. "'Like I said to Dr. Liu (my OB), 'It's a puppy!'"

Basinger, 69, went on to joke that she initially thought Ireland was pregnant with a beagle when she first saw her daughter's sonogram. "Like mother, like daughter," she quipped, "and a new baby girl coming our way."
Ireland Baldwin was also active on social media throughout her pregnancy, sharing candid updates about her journey. In a Jan. 18 Instagram post, the Grudge Match actress wrote, "Pregnancy is hard...It takes so much out of you. I wasn't ready for that."
She continued, "Being someone who deals with healthy anxiety on a daily basis, pregnancy turned things into high gear. I've struggled to adapt to these changes. Bodily sensations. Pains and aches. Organs going to s--t randomly. I know everyone has a different experience, and mine is easy compared to most, but f--k it's a struggle."
However, she noted that "none of this reflects on how excited I am" to be a mom, adding, "All of this is still worth it."
And as for Holland's unique name? Ireland has said she and RAC, born André Allen Anjos, chose a country-themed moniker "because we wanted to keep that consistent."
"And then I love the actress Holland Taylor," she gushed during the Jan. 31 episode of "Girlboss Radio" podcast. "I've always loved that name since I was young. I just thought that was such a classy, beautiful name."
