Hilaria Baldwin Says She and Alec See Therapist About Age Gap

Hilaria Baldwin says that she and her husband, Alec Baldwin, see a therapist when their 26-year age gap creates marital disconnect. 

“I don’t believe that age is just a number, at least in our situation,” Hilaria, 41, revealed on the Wednesday, November 12, episode of the “Uncut and Uncensored” podcast. 

She continued, “There are certain things where I have to look at him and say, ‘He has 26 more years of experience.’ And sometimes that’s a flex, and sometimes that means that we need to do a little therapy.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Alec’s rep for comment.

Alec, 67, began dating Hilaria, a yoga instructor, in 2011 and married her the following year. They have since welcomed seven children — Carmen, 12, Rafael, 10, Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 7, Eduardo, 5, Maria, 4 and Ilaria, 3. Hilaria is also stepmom to Alec’s daughter Ireland, 30, from his marriage to Kim Basinger. 

“He had the very notorious, complicated situation with his previous wife and with Ireland,” she told podcaster Caroline Stanbury. “I think he wanted a chance to do it in a different way and make different choices.”

Hilaria said that she and the 30 Rock alum have “hard moments” in their marriage, but try to work through it.

“Do we have our normal, marital arguments? 100 percent,” she said. “But it’s the desire to both want to be there and to both want to make it work. When you have that, I think you can go through anything together.”

Hilaria admitted that she’s felt lost as the wife of a celebrity with a larger-than-life persona.

“I think in many ways, I did lose part of my identity when I married Alec,” she said, discussing the impact of “other people talking about me for the first time on a very massive level.”
