In an interview with Romper published on Wednesday, June 21, Hilaria Baldwin, a 39-year-old yoga instructor and mother of seven, shared that she occasionally finds herself taking on a parental role with her husband Alec Baldwin, who is 65 years old. Contrary to the assumption that she may have "daddy issues" for being married to someone older, Hilaria revealed that it is actually the opposite.

In their ten-year marriage, Hilaria and Alec, who have a significant age difference of 26 years, exchanged vows in June 2012 after dating for a year. Throughout their relationship, the couple has been blessed with seven children: Carmen, aged 9, Rafael, aged 7, Leonardo, aged 6, Romeo, aged 4, Eduardo, aged 2, Lucia, aged 2, and Ilaria, who is 9 months old. Alec, who recently underwent hip surgery, did not directly address the idea of being nurtured by his wife. However, he couldn't contain his admiration for Hilaria and everything she does for him and their large family.

He expressed his admiration for Hilaria and his trust in her honesty and character. Furthermore, he described her as not only incredibly decent but also undeniably beautiful. Despite occasional challenges, he admitted to being deeply in love with her, acknowledging that such ups and downs are part of any marriage.

In addition to their evident happiness, Hilaria and Alec have garnered attention for their sizable family and distinctive way of life. Recently, Amy Schumer playfully commented on the couple's numerous children and Alec's enthusiasm for Spanish culture, an interest that Hilaria faced accusations of appropriating in 2020.

"Hilaria and Alec have a large number of children, and they have chosen to give them names that are distinctly Spanish, such as Jamón, Croqueta, and Flamenco," the comedian, 42, joked in her Netflix special, Emergency Contact. "However, the issue arises when we realize that 'Hilaria from España' is actually Hillary from Boston. She is not Spanish in any way, and neither are her parents or anyone else in her life. It might come as a surprise to some, but this is not just a case of me doing a racist Spanish impression."

While Hilaria did not directly address Schumer's hurtful remarks, she did have some strong words for those who have shared negative opinions about her and her children.

They have supported each other through their personal challenges, with Alec Baldwin being involved in a tragic shooting incident on the set of his movie Rust in 2021. The incident resulted in the injury of the director and the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. However, the criminal charges against Alec were dropped two years later in April.

"We are satisfied with the dismissal of the case against Alec Baldwin and we support a thorough investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding this unfortunate accident," stated Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, the actor's attorneys, according to ABC News.

Following the public announcement, Alec expressed his heartfelt appreciation to Hilaria, acknowledging her unwavering support during this challenging period. Taking to Instagram, he wrote, "I am indebted to this remarkable woman for everything I have."
