Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria are making headlines in the entertainment industry with the announcement of their own reality television show on TLC. This news breaks even as Baldwin faces an upcoming trial for involuntary manslaughter in relation to the tragic “Rust” shooting in 2021, which resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
The couple used Instagram to announce the upcoming show, presently titled “The Baldwins”. The show will focus on their large family, which includes seven children, all under the age of ten.
“We’ve got an exciting announcement to share! Coming in 2025 …” the post read.
In the announcement, Alec shared, “We’re inviting you into our home, to experience the ups and downs, the good and the bad, the wild and the crazy.” The couple released several video clips that showed their children laughing, playing, and causing their usual rambunctious chaos.
“Home is the place we love to be most,” Baldwin stated, trying to gather his kids together to say, “We are the Baldwins.” He concluded the announcement by saying, “and we’re coming to TLC.”
In a lighter moment before the announcement, Alec asked Hilaria if she was about to announce another pregnancy, to which she confirmed they were finished expanding their family.
The couple married in 2012 and welcomed their first child together a year later. Baldwin also has an older daughter from his previous marriage to actress Kim Basinger.
However, this happy family news comes in the shadow of Alec’s awaited trial. He has been charged with involuntary manslaughter following the fatal shooting of Hutchins on the set of “Rust”. Alec Baldwin has consistently claimed that there was “no trigger pull” when the firearm discharged.
His attorney, Luke Nikas, underscored, “Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun – or anywhere on the movie set.”
Nikas also added, “He relied on the professionals with whom he worked, who assured him the gun did not have live rounds. We will fight these charges, and we will win.”
The firearms supervisor on the film set, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in Hutchins’ shooting. Upon hearing the verdict, the defense attorney announced they would appeal the decision.
Baldwin’s trial is scheduled to start in July.
