Hilaria Baldwin says that she and her husband, Alec Baldwin, see a therapist when their 26-year age gap creates marital disconnect.
“I don’t believe that age is just a number, at least in our situation,” Hilaria, 41, revealed on the Wednesday, November 12, episode of the “Uncut and Uncensored” podcast.
She continued, “There are certain things where I have to look at him and say, ‘He has 26 more years of experience.’ And sometimes that’s a flex, and sometimes that means that we need to do a little therapy.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Alec’s rep for comment.
Alec, 67, began dating Hilaria, a yoga instructor, in 2011 and married her the following year. They have since welcomed seven children — Carmen, 12, Rafael, 10, Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 7, Eduardo, 5, Maria, 4 and Ilaria, 3. Hilaria is also stepmom to Alec’s daughter Ireland, 30, from his marriage to Kim Basinger.
“He had the very notorious, complicated situation with his previous wife and with Ireland,” she told podcaster Caroline Stanbury. “I think he wanted a chance to do it in a different way and make different choices.”
Hilaria said that she and the 30 Rock alum have “hard moments” in their marriage, but try to work through it.
“Do we have our normal, marital arguments? 100 percent,” she said. “But it’s the desire to both want to be there and to both want to make it work. When you have that, I think you can go through anything together.”
Ireland Baldwin came out swinging against her stepmom Hilaria Baldwin‘s critics in a candid social media post. Sharing a lengthy post via Instagram on Thursday, September 4, Ireland praised the new Dancing With the Stars contestant, who is married to her dad, Alec Baldwin. “I wanted to take a second to talk about my step […]
Hilaria admitted that she’s felt lost as the wife of a celebrity with a larger-than-life persona.
“I think in many ways, I did lose part of my identity when I married Alec,” she said, discussing the impact of “other people talking about me for the first time on a very massive level.”
Hilaria said she received a solid piece of advice about navigating the spotlight in a day and age when everyone and anyone’s opinions can be amplified on social media.
“I posted this on my [Instagram] Stories, this woman said, ‘You need to be able to really articulate and know what your identity is, because otherwise you’re going to just get it from other people because everybody’s going to have an opinion,’” she said. “And this is not a famous person who’s saying this. We’re all the same, regardless if we’re famous, not famous, whatever. We’re all flesh and blood.”
Alec Baldwin has had his fair share of scandals over the course of his life in the public eye. From two arrests to the infamous voicemail he left his daughter Ireland Baldwin, the 30 Rock alum has often made headlines for his controversial behavior — and perhaps never more serious than when he was involved in the fatal […]
Hilaria, who recently appeared as a contestant on season 34 of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars, said she’s come to terms with fame and how to handle it.
“I haven’t been as clear as I should have been with myself about my identity,” she said, adding, “People can say this or that. I cannot stop them. But I can know myself in a way that hopefully it won’t give me that nauseous pit in my stomach that I’ve experienced so many times.”
That’s not to say that Hilaria is immune to the effects of online trolls. After getting eliminated from Dancing With the Stars last month, she blamed her dismissal on “mean girls” campaigning against her.
“I guess what people were doing is they were having campaigns where they wouldn’t just vote for their favorite — because you can vote 10 times for a couple — they were voting for all the other couples except us, so they were boosting everybody else and trying to drown out my fan base,” Hilaria exclusively told Us Weekly in October, referencing her professional dance partner, Gleb Savchenko.
Previously, she had spoken out via Instagram Live, telling her followers that it was “coordinated, very strategic bullying. And as I feel the darkness that undoubtedly brings to me, I always want to remember that my life belongs to the whole community and I want to leave a lasting mark of courage to speak up against what is simply wrong.”
Earlier this month, Hilaria clarified her remarks while appearing on the “Too Much” podcast, making it clear that her time on the show was a positive experience and that she never felt bullied by her castmates. In fact, she said, fans who participated in the alleged campaign against her have reached out to apologize via direct message.
“Everybody on the show is lovely,” she said in the podcast’s November 3 episode, adding that she doesn’t need people to “feel bad” for her.
“I had the time of my life,” she recalled. “I’m only a better, happier person because I did the show.”
