Hilaria — whose attendance alongside Alec was her first event appearance since revealing on Nov. 11 that she had sufferedher second miscarriage in seven months— also shared the experience on her Instagram story, saying her children “were so mad at me for going out tonight” after she couldn’t tuck them in as usual.

“I have childcare and couldn’t put them to bed, as I normally do. Staying with them longer as they obsessed [over] the fact that I was inevitably leaving was torture for us all (including Diego Manchego),”The Living Clearly Methodauthor wrote, shouting out one of the family dogs.

“So I kissed them, told them that I love them, distracted them with fun stuff … then took an inch of sparkling rosé downstairs and sipped it as I waited for my husband to be ready. So not me … yet so amazing,” she concluded, tacking on a crying-laughing emoji at the very end.

She also asked her followers to vote on whether they couldrelate to her wine-sipping action. As of Friday at noon ET, “Oh, yes!” was leading with a whopping 95 percent of the tallies, compared to 5 percent on “No, I’m a saint.”
