Hilaria Baldwin reveals she and Alec Baldwin seek therapy to navigate their age gap
During an appearance on the Uncut and Uncensored podcast, Hilaria Baldwin shared that she and Alec Baldwin have occasionally turned to therapy to understand better the unique challenges brought on by their age gap. Now 41, Hilaria reflected on the reality of being married to a partner with more than two decades of additional life experience. “There are certain things where I have to look at him and say, ‘He has 26 more years of experience,’” she told host Caroline Stanbury, explaining that those differences can be both helpful and occasionally difficult. “Sometimes that’s a flex, and sometimes that means that we need to do a little therapy,” she added.
Hilaria and Alec married in 2012 and have since welcomed seven children, with ages ranging from toddler to preteen. Their relationship has unfolded in the glare of public attention, bringing with it pressures far beyond the age gap itself.
Reflecting on how their family grew so quickly, Hilaria said the decision to have a large household was intentional. She also noted that Alec’s earlier marriage to Kim Basinger and his complicated history with their daughter, Ireland, influenced how he approached fatherhood this time around. According to Hilaria, he wanted the chance to parent differently and create a more unified family structure.
Despite their thoughtful planning, she acknowledged that their home is not without its challenges. “Do we have our normal, marital arguments? One hundred percent,” she said. Continuing, she added that therapy has helped them maintain a strong foundation as they navigate parenting seven children while living under intense public scrutiny.
