Hilaria Baldwin thinks the age gap between herself and Alec Baldwin “sounds ridiculous”.
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have been married since 2012
The 42-year-old podcaster has been married to Alec, 68, since 2012, and she admits that their sizeable age gap still sounds “ridiculous”.
Speaking to the Daily Mail newspaper, Hilaria said: “Take a 27-year-old yoga instructor married to a rich and famous older man — it sounds ridiculous. It sounds like a bad SNL sketch.”
Despite this, Hilaria and Alec are able to laugh about the age gap.
She said: “It worked out luckily, but we poke fun at each other in our family all the time.
“I think people expect that Alec wanted somebody he could boss around, and we’re on the same level together.”
Hilaria and Alec – who have Carmen, 12, Rafael, 10, Leonardo, nine, Romeo, eight, Eduardo, five, Maria Lucia, five, and Ilaria, three – have found ways to sustain the spark in their romance over more than a decade.
The podcaster shared: “We’ve been travelling a lot for work recently but we try to have a lot of date nights, which usually involves dinner.
“He loves a good dinner. We either go out or I cook and we usually end up chatting and catching each other up on our seven kids and our projects.”
Meanwhile, Alec previously revealed that he’s keen to spend more time at home with his wife and kids in the coming years.
The actor has enjoyed huge success in Hollywood – but he’s now happy to forego various career opportunities in order to spend time with his loved ones.
Alec – who took a break from acting following a shooting incident on the set of the movie Rust in 2021 – previously said on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast: “I wound up staying home a lot. I was home with my kids for three and a half years.
“I hardly worked at all. And that’s just changing now, I’m going to go off and do a bunch of things, but I was home and I got used to it, and I don’t want to leave my house anymore. I don’t. I don’t want to work anymore. I don’t. I really don’t. I want to retire and stay home with my kids.”
