Alec Baldwin, known for roles in Beetlejuice, 30 Rock, and Saturday Night Live, is the proud father of eight children. The actor and comedian has welcomed them through two marriages: his first to actress Kim Basinger (1993-2002) and his current marriage to yoga instructor Hilaria Baldwin, whom he married in 2012.
The now 66-year-old spent 2022 dealing with the aftermath of the deadly 2021 accident on the set of Rust. Alec was handling a prop gun that misfired, resulting in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. As a co-producer and star of the film, Alec was charged with involuntary manslaughter. He pleaded not guilty, and his case was dismissed days after his trial began in July 2024, avoiding up to 18 months in prison.
In February 2025, during the premiere of the new TLC reality series The Baldwins, it was revealed that Alec had been diagnosed with PTSD and the emotional toll it took while trying to protect his children amidst the turmoil. However, in the trailer, he also expressed to his wife how much better he felt with his family by his side.
“Honestly, from the bottom of my soul, I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have you and these kids,” he said.
