Alec Baldwin and his wife have opened up about the prenup she had to sign before they got married in an episode of their new reality show.

Alec Baldwin’s life has been in the spotlight a lot over the last few years, so much so that the actor now has a reality TV show where his family features heavily.

In the latest episode of the TLC show, entitled The Baldwins, Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, spoke about the earlier aspects of their relationship - most notably the decision to sign a prenup.

For those not in the know, a prenup is a pre-nuptial agreement that both parties sign ahead of getting married to ensure it is clear how assets will be divided in the event they get a divorce.

During the episode that aired on February 23, Baldwin recalled his first marriage to Kim Basinger that lasted from 1993 to 2002 and his desire for a prenup.

He said: “After my first marriage I said, ‘Let’s have a prenup.'”

Hilaria admitted that at the time she didn’t take the necessary steps to understand what a prenup was and the significance of the document she was about to sign ahead of their wedding in June 2012.

She said: “I just don’t understand quite what a prenup is. Because you are like, ‘After a certain number of kids it is this.’ And I was like, ‘You know what? I will just sign it.’

“Which was probably very stupid of me back then.

“Now, I would read it again. I just said, ‘I won’t sign it. I don’t really want to think about the end by the beginning.’ And then you were like, ‘I don’t want to do it either.'”

The pair’s reality TV show also dives into the fatal rust shooting that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

The incident happened back in 2021 and Baldwin was was charged with involuntary manslaughter as he was holding the gun. He consistently maintained that he did not fire the gun and had no knowledge of it being loaded with real ammunition rather than dummy rounds.

Last year in July, a judge dismissed the charges against him.

The pair insisted the support and connectivity of their family unit helped them deal with the situation. Baldwin has also reflected on the negative impact the whole situation had on his wife.

Speaking to her, he said: "This has been just surreal. I mean, I can't even believe that we're going through this, and I always feel more in pain about you than me, because I think to myself, well, you know, 'I'm going to try to my best to just get through it', and I think what it's done to you and how much it's hurt you and everything.”
