More than ten years of love. Hilaria Baldwin (née Thomas), Alec Baldwin’s wife, and he first met in 2011 and have been together ever since.
In February of that year, the two had a fortuitous encounter at a restaurant in New York City.
“I wandered into Pure Food and Wine on Irving Place on an unseasonably warm February evening,” the Saturday Night Live performer recalled via Instagram eight years after they first met. “My friend, [Brendan O’Connell], and I sat down (outside!), and as I turned to my left, I saw a woman who would change my life. Entirely. 8 years today. Thanks for all you’ve given me. You are a gift.”
In a joint interview the following year, they discussed how the former cast member of 30 Rock approached the yoga instructor without requesting her phone number. Instead, he handed her his business card and instructed her to contact him.
In July 2012, Hilaria told The New York Times, “I was waiting by the door with my friends when he came over and grasped my hand and said, ‘I must know you.'” He received a voicemail when his future wife finally phoned him. They went on a date a few days later, and things quickly got hot and heavy. By spring, they had a formal relationship, and within a few months, they had moved in together.
The “Mom Brain” podcast presenter first worried about their 26-year age gap (he was born in 1958, while she was born in 1984). Still, the director immediately observed her maturity, especially when she knew what she wanted in a relationship.

“While she was in no hurry, she was very mature and clear about what she wanted — to be married someday,” he recalled.
Before divorcing in 2002, Alec was previously married to Kim Basinger for almost 20 years. The couple welcomed daughter Ireland Baldwin in 1995.
In April 2019, Hilaria, who has six kids with her husband, disclosed more about her role as Alec’s oldest daughter’s stepmother.
“Sometimes my language about my biological children does not include her. Because I did not birth her and I never want to disrespect the fact that she has a wonderful mother,” the fitness guru shared via Instagram amid criticism that she didn’t speak much about Ireland. “But this will never take away from how much I love her, need her in my life, and think that she is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Please don’t look for trouble where there is none.”
