Alec Baldwin and Wife Hilaria Baldwin's Cutest Quotes About Marriage

Alec Baldwin and wife Hilaria Baldwin‘s marriage is quite similar to the love stories you read about in romance novels. Not only do the Hollywood stars make one gorgeous couple, but their cutest quotes about each other prove their love is everlasting.

The 30 Rock actor and the yoga instructor first met in early 2011 during a chance encounter at Pure Food and Wine restaurant in New York City. It seems it was love at first sight for Alec, who approached Hilaria the moment he saw her.

“I was standing near the door with my friends when he walked up and took my hand and said, ‘I must know you,'” the Spain native once recalled to The New York Times. “You must know me?’” she replied, adding the two then shared a conversation. “And then he gave me his card.”

It wasn’t long before Alec and Hilaria became an exclusive item. Months later in June 2011, the two confirmed their relationship when they hit the red carpet holding hands at the 65th Annual Tony Awards.

The following year in June 2012, the lovebirds tied the knot in a romantic wedding ceremony at the famed St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral in New York City. This marked the second marriage for the Saturday Night Live star, who was previously married to his first wife, Kim Basinger, from 1993 to 2002.

Aside from their roles as a loving husband and wife, Alec and Hilaria are also the proud parents of their five kids. The duo share kids Carmen, Rafael, Leonardo, Romeo, and baby No. 5, who arrived in early September.

Throughout their marriage, the Beetlejuice alum and his spouse have weathered their fair share of “ups and downs” — including two miscarriages throughout 2019. Fortunately, Hilaria insisted the struggles and challenges have made their bond unbreakable.

“Either you grow apart or you get stronger, and I think we’ve definitely gotten stronger with it — I don’t know … we’re so different,” she exclusively shared with Closer Weekly in March 2020. “I was 27 when I met him, and I’m 36 now. So, I grew up a little bit.”

The beloved fitness enthusiast also praised Alec for being the most supportive hubby. “He’s my No. 1 fan in all things that I do, whether it’s becoming a mom and letting me have as many kids as I want! I mean he’s definitely a part of it, but he’s just like, ‘Yeah, let’s do this.’” she gushed to Closer. “Can both of us be pains? 100 percent. But, there’s always support for each other, and I think that’s one of the things that hold us together.”

On Celebrating Anniversaries

In honor of their latest wedding anniversary in June 2020, Hilaria and Alec shared the most touching tributes.

“Eight years ago today. Luckiest day of my life. Happy anniversary to @hilariabaldwin,” the doting husband penned alongside a throwback photo from their wedding day. Hilaria shared the same snap of them at the chapel, writing, “Happy [eight] years @alecbaldwininsta.”

On the Beginning of Their Relationship

“Do you guys know that he shook my hand for six weeks and didn’t kiss me when we met? True story,” the Spanish actress hilariously shared in March 2020 while Alec filled in as host for The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “He would tell me all these things like I’m going to marry you, I’m going to spend the rest of my life with you, we’re going to have a ton of kids, and then, he would shake my hand at the end of the night.”

As Hilaria recalled the early days of their relationship, Alec attempted to defend himself. “I didn’t want you to think that I just wanted to have sex with you,” he teased, to which his spouse replied, “Hey, look! It worked.”

On Having Hilaria as the Mother of His Kids

During an appearance on The Dr. Oz Show, Alec once praised Hilaria for being the best mom to their daughter, Carmen. He also gave a sweet shoutout to his ex-wife, Kim, with whom he shares eldest daughter Ireland Baldwin.

“I’m grateful that both daughters I have — from two different marriages — have very capable mothers,” he once gushed. “Because the mother is the one who is going to teach the girl, I think, how to get around in the world.”

On the Time They First Met

The brunette beauty adorably teased her husband about one of the first arguments they had in a funny Instagram post.

“Met you nine years ago today … I don’t have a photo from then, but I do have a photo of our first disagreement. You got frustrated with someone on the red carpet and walked away,” she teased. “I had to waddle in this mermaid tail dress after you and didn’t like being left behind. It wasn’t very dramatic, but I think it was my first Hilaria glare that I gave you.”

On Coping With Their Miscarriages

“Little update: I’m doing better,” Hilaria penned on social media after suffering her first miscarriage in November 2019. “I have my moments when I feel better then I have moments when I will get really sad. But I feel like time and healing and everyone’s support is helping me. Spending time with my babies and husband helps so much. I’m so lucky to have them.”

On Supporting Their Children’s Goals

Even though Hilaria “[doesn’t] know” what her kids what to be when they grow up just yet, she insisted the two will always support their kiddos’ dreams.

“I think getting them educated and teaching them a lot of discipline, and teaching them there’s many options out there … whatever they’re going to be passionate about, they have our support,” she told Closer in March. “I don’t know if it’s the acting bug or just being extremely charismatic. But we’ll see. Maybe they’ll be doctors and lawyers and teachers. I don’t know. Whatever they want to be!”
