Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria have announced exciting news: a new TLC reality show that will give viewers a glimpse into their lively family life.
The 66-year-old actor, famous for roles in Beetlejuice and Glengarry Glen Ross, shared a heartwarming video on Instagram with his seven children to reveal the news.
“We’re inviting you into our home to experience the ups and downs; the good, the bad, the wild, and the crazy,” Alec said in the video. “Home is the place we love to be most.”
Named The Baldwins, the show is scheduled to debut next year on TLC, the network renowned for popular series such as 90 Day Fiancé, Dr. Pimple Popper, and MILF Manor.
“Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have been making headlines since they were married nearly 12 years ago,” reads a statement from TLC. “In this follow-doc series, Alec and Hilaria invite viewers into the home they share with their seven growing kids. For the first time, they’re opening up their family lives and bringing everyone in to join in the nonstop love, laughter, and drama.”
The couple, who met in 2011 and married in 2012, have since welcomed seven children, with their youngest born in 2023.
This announcement comes during a challenging time for Alec, who is awaiting a July trial for involuntary manslaughter following the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Hutchins was accidentally shot on the set of the western Rust. Alec faces up to 18 months in prison and has denied any wrongdoing. Production on Rust resumed in 2023, with its release expected this year.
In November 2023, it was reported that Alec and Hilaria were pitching a show that would offer “an authentic portrayal of who they are as a family.”
“Everything’s about my family,” Alec shared. “I have really tried in the last several years, once we had five and then six, and then seven kids. I can’t go anywhere for any length of time.”
Alec’s family life has frequently been under public scrutiny. In 2007, a voicemail he left for his then 11-year-old daughter Ireland, from his previous marriage to Kim Basinger, garnered media attention. In the message, he called her a “rude, thoughtless little pig.” He later apologized, explaining that he had been “driven to the edge by parental alienation.”
Hilaria, too, has faced controversy. In 2020, she was accused of misrepresenting her Spanish heritage after viral clips showed her speaking with a Spanish accent. The 40-year-old, originally from Boston and born Hillary, later clarified the misunderstanding.
As the Baldwins prepare to invite viewers into their lives, they promise a series that captures the genuine highs and lows of their lively family life. Fans eagerly anticipate the opportunity to witness their dynamic household in action, experiencing their day-to-day adventures.
