Alec Baldwin's daughter Ireland pregnant with her first child alongside boyfriend RAC

Alec Baldwin's daughter Ireland is pregnant with her first child.

The model, 27, took to Instagram this evening to announce the good news, wishing her 670,000 followers a "Happy New Year".

She shared a snap of a sonogram as hundreds flocked to congratulate her and musician boyfriend RAC, born Andre Allen Anjos.

"Ahhhhh Congrats!! Welcome to the coolest club, mama," wrote one follower. Another said: "Yayyyyyy congrats. Happy new year indeed!"

The pair have been seeing each other since last year, with RAC making his debut on Ireland's social media back in June.

They looked loved-up in holiday snaps as the happy couple enjoyed a trip to Paris earlier this year - posing for some PDA pictures.

Her amazing news comes after she spoke candidly about her past struggles with drug addiction and alcoholism as well the impact eating disorders have had on her life.

She joined Red Table Talk - an Emmy award-winning talk show hosted by Willow Smith - to discuss how such issues had also affected her relationships with family members.

"I just hit a total breaking point," she said earlier this year. "I was self-medicating with Xanax and I was drinking. And I have a lot of alcoholism and drug addiction in my family.

"I had a night where I went way too far with drinking and taking pills because I couldn't even go to bed at night.

"I had isolated all of my real friends, isolated my family," she said. "I had no control in anything in my life. I tortured myself with my eating disorders that I had.

"I didn't talk to my parents for like a year," Ireland added. "I saw them here and there, but I was so ashamed of what I had become and how I was living. I just became this different person. I was emaciated in every way; I was lifeless."

Ireland spent two weeks in Malibu's SOBA Recovery Center in 2015 stating at the time: "I need to overcome everything that I had been through and rid myself of all the pain I locked away in unreachable place."
