Consequently, folks are once again focusing on the details of this romance that have never felt quite right.
And, yes this can cause some serious issues.
For Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, this was the first problem to plague their romance.
Other age gap relationships pale in comparison to this one; the pair has 26 years between them.
But it’s actually the opposite."
And, consequently, we’re seeing more red flags in this reality TV-ready romance.
One of those red flags goes way back to the early days of the couple’s relationship.
Alec’s marriage to Hilaria isn’t his first.
He was married to fellow actor Kim Basinger from 1993 to 2002.
In the first episode of “The Baldwins,” Alec opened up about his pre-nuptial agreement with Hilaria.
“After my first marriage, I said, ‘Let’s have a prenup.’
She wasn’t happy about it.
It’s an awkward thing,” he explained, perPage Six.
“Because you are like, ‘After a certain number of kids, it’s this.
And I was like, ‘You know what?
The pair had their first child, Carmen, in 2013.
Their seventh child, Ilaria, was born in 2022.
Welcoming seven babies to the family in nine years is a lot for anyone.
Yet, it’s an even more surprising undertaking, since Alec was 55 when Carmen was born.
Alec also has one daughter, Ireland Baldwin, with ex Kim Basinger.
By 2019, the couple had four children, and Alec revealed that he was possibly ready to stop.
In terms of having more kids, he said that Hilaria was “up for the challenge.
They went on to have another child in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
In 2025, Hilaria toldPeoplethat Alec is “always asking me for more kids.”
Once again, though, they may not be in agreement.
“They’re so cute, but my body’s really tired,” she said.
“Alec shushed me while I was in labor with Rafa…He was on the phone ‘Shush!
Can you keep it down?'”
she captioned the photo, perPeople.
She went on to explain that Alec was quick to see the error in his ways.
She noted, “kept the marriage.
Went on to have 522 babies after.
I permit him in after I get the epidural.”
She also added, “I’ll spare you the details of my reaction for now.
But it never happened again” with a smiling devil emoji.
Still, the fact that he had that reaction, at all, sure sounds like a problem.
Yet they originally came from two different worlds.
Suffice it to say that this required quite an adjustment from Hilaria.
And this adjustment was far from easy.
“Unless you took my yoga class, you didn’t know who I was.
Her time since joining Alec in his life of fame has been riddled with controversy and backlash.
