Hilaria Baldwin has disclosed that she was unfamiliar with prenuptial agreements when Alec Baldwin proposed the idea before their wedding in 2012. She made the admission during the premiere episode of their new reality show.

In the first episode of The Baldwins, Hilaria, 41, stated that she did not fully understand what a prenup was when Alec brought it up.

The Crescent City star, 66, explained that after his divorce from actress Kim Basinger, he felt it was necessary to have a prenup. Alec noted that Hilaria was not pleased with the idea and that it was an awkward conversation, Page Six reported.

Hilaria says she did not want to think about the end

According to Page Six, the yoga instructor and entrepreneur took a different approach, choosing to sign the prenup without much thought. She admitted that this was probably naive of her at the time.

Looking back, she said she now believes she should have considered it more carefully. During the episode, she mentioned that she would read it again now but had not wanted to dwell on the end at the very beginning of their marriage.

The Baldwins: An insight into their life

Airing on TLC, The Baldwins offers a glimpse into their family life with their seven children: Carmen (11), Maria (3), Ilaria (2), Rafael (9), Leonardo (8), Romeo (6), and Eduardo (4). Alec also has a 29-year-old daughter, Ireland, from his previous marriage.

Reality show sparks controversy

While the couple’s reality show has attracted viewers, The Baldwins has also faced significant backlash. The series follows their family’s daily life while Alec Baldwin continues to battle legal challenges related to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was shot on the Rust film set in 2021.

According to reports, critics say that the show is poorly timed and appears to be an attempt to rehabilitate Alec's public image. The Guardian described it as “a new low for television,” while The Telegraph called it “a saccharine pity party.”
