Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have a big family with seven children. Their kids are Carmen Gabriela, who is 10 years old, Rafael Thomas, who is 8, Leonardo Ángel Charles, who is 7, Romeo Alejandro David, who is 5, Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas, María Lucía Victoria, who is 3, and Ilaria Catalina Irena, who is 19 months old. Additionally, Alec has a daughter named Ireland, who is 28 years old, from his previous marriage to Kim Basinger.

A source previously mentioned to We that Alec and Hilaria were thinking about sharing their busy lives on a reality show. The insider revealed in November 2023 that Alec and Hilaria might pitch ideas for a reality show. They would only go ahead with a series if it truly reflects their family life and showcases who they are.

The Baldwins wanted a show that truly reflected who they are.

According to an insider, the show needed to capture their genuine love for each other and their everyday moments filled with laughter and adventures. It had to be authentic, showing how they spend their time together. Alec's favorite thing is spending time with Hilaria and their kids, and those close to them can see how much they enjoy being together. They are excited about the idea of a show that allows them to share their true selves and what is most important to them.

In the same month, Alec opened up about how becoming a father has shifted his priorities. He shared on Kelly Ripa's "Let's Talk Off Camera" podcast, "For me, everything revolves around my family." As the number of children grew to five, then six, and eventually seven, Alec found it challenging to be away from them for extended periods of time.

Alec explained the difficulties of traveling for work now that his family has expanded. He humorously mentioned, "If I have to travel, I'd need 12 plane tickets." Jokingly, he added, "Nannies, kids, my wife - I would need about 11 tickets." Alec even pointed out the logistical issue, stating, "There aren't even 11 available seats in the business class section of the plane."

The Baldwins reality show comes after Alec's involvement in a tragic incident on the set of the movie Rust. In January 2023, Alec was charged with involuntary manslaughter after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins lost her life. The prop gun he was handling accidentally fired, causing her death and injuring director Joel Souza. Despite this, Alec maintains that he is not responsible for what happened.

Alec initially pleaded not guilty to the charges, and they were eventually dropped in April 2023. However, in January, it was confirmed that Alec was indicted once again in connection with Hutchins' death. If found guilty of the fourth-degree felony, he could potentially face up to 18 months in prison.
