The pair have seven kids together. Alec has an adult daughter, Ireland, from his marriage to Kim Basinger.
Does The Baldwins address the Rust drama?
Many will remember that Alec was facing the possibility of jail time after he was charged with involuntary manslaughter.
The indictment was in connection to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. She was killed on the set of the movie Rust by a firearm Alec raised during filming.
In the clip, Hilaria tells Alec, “A son lost his mom in the most unthinkable tragedy. This is never something to forget, and we’re trying to parent through it.”
The comment brings the 30 Rock star to the brink of tears and acknowledges the role his family have played in coping with the ordeal.
“Honestly, from the bottom of my soul, I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have you and these kids,” Alec tells his wife.
The first instalment sees the family celebrate their oldest son Rafael’s ninth birthday in East Hampton.
What happened to Alec Baldwin’s charges related to the death of Haylna Hutchins?
This summer, Alec was cleared when the presiding judge dismissed the case.
This decision came following the defence’s argument that the prosecution didn’t give evidence related to the ammo used in the shooting.
“The late discovery of this evidence during trial has impeded the effective use of evidence in such a way that it has impacted the fundamental fairness of the proceedings,” Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer said on July 12 last year. “If this conduct does not rise to the level of bad faith it certainly comes so near to bad faith to show signs of scorching.”
