Alec Baldwin Shares News About His Relationship With Hilaria

Alec Baldwin has worn many hats over his decades-long career, though if you were to ask him which he prefers most, it'd be the ones he wears for the sake of his family. His eight-year marriage to Hilaria Baldwin is one of the most admired in Hollywood, and the growing clan of Baldwin kids only seems to get cuter by the day. But in 2020, the award-winning actor came forward with some dramatic news that left fans stunned: the legendary family was about to be changed forever.

Love By Chance

This wasn't just some little change: Both he and Hilaria's lives were about to get a whole lot more unpredictable. Neither of them were strangers to life throwing a few curveballs — their entire relationship had basically happened by chance. In an Instagram post commemorating their anniversary, Alec recalled the fateful moment he first spotted his future wife.

Fateful Meeting

"8 years ago, I wandered into Pure Food and Wine on Irving Place, on an unseasonably warm February evening," he shared. He turned left, and as soon as he locked eyes with Hilaria, he was smitten. Yet Alec didn't exactly mince words as he approached her for the first time.

Smooth Talker

In an interview with The New York Times, Hilaria revealed his opening line: "I was standing near the door with my friends when he walked up and took my hand and said, 'I must know you.'" "You must know me?'" Hilaria replied, and then, "he gave me his card."

Mixed Signals

Surprisingly, as the pair began getting to know one another, Hilaria had doubts about whether Alec was really into her. In an interview with actress Mariska Hargitay for Beach magazine, Hilaria confessed that it took Alec a month and a half just to kiss her! It's safe to say she started to get a little antsy.
