One follower asked: "Why does a 10 year old wear makeup?" A second echoed: "Why is she wearing makeup?" adding an eye rolling emoji.
More fans joined the debate as a third wrote: "Looks older than 10!!" A fourth social media user then jumped to their defence as they pointed out: "My grandkids love to wear makeup and it is just fun." A fifth shared: "Who cares about her makeup?! #judgykarens."
Another fan jumped to support Alec and Hilaria posting: "Beautiful family. My 8 yr old granddaughter loves playing with makeup and we let her! What's the big deal! So shut your negative mouths and move on."
Later in the day Alec also shared a tribute to Ireland as he posted a photo of her with her musician boyfriend RAC (Andre Allen Anjos) and their daughter, Holland, one. He wrote: "Thank you to this group for the lovely Father's Day wishes. Love you all."
Ireland then shared a screenshot on her Instagram stories as she FaceTimed Alec and wrote "Happy Father's Day @alecbaldwininsta." Hilaria also paid tribute to her husband as she celebrated his role as a dad by taking to her own Instagram page.
She uploaded a clip of some of their children waking him up from a nap as she captioned the post: "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."
