Alec and Hilariatied the knoton June 30, 2012, at St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral in N.Y.C. and have since welcomed seven children — daughtersCarmen Gabriela,María Lucía Victoria, newborn Ilaria Catalina Irena, as well as sonsRafael Thomas,Leonardo Ángel Charles,Romeo Alejandro DavidandEduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas— to their family. Alec is also dad to daughterIreland Baldwin, whom he shares with ex-wifeKim Basinger.
Hilaria previously made mention of the first night she and Alec — who in February pleadednot guiltyto involuntary manslaughter charges in New Mexico over theRustshooting case — met in a Feb. 20 Instagram post in which she marked 12 years since their first meeting.
At the time, the mother of seven shared a photo of her and Alec cuddling up inside a restaurant as she wrote: “What a journey we have had been through, to, in, and around and continuing…every emotional place I don’t think either one of us could have ever predicted.”
“This photo is probably a yearish after we met???” she added, tagging the restaurant and adding that her and Baldwin appear “both much younger and less🥴” in the photo.
In March, the special prosecutor in theRustcase, Andrea Reeb,announced she was stepping down from the caseafter Baldwin’s legal team filed a motion on Feb. 7 to disqualify her, claiming her dual role as special prosecutor and a member of the New Mexico House of Representatives was “unconstitutional,” according to court documents.
