Alec Baldwin was spotted strolling after celebrating his engagement with his wife, Hilaria, over the weekend. The couple took to their Instagram to post sweet tributes as they marked 11 years since their engagement.
Veteran actor Alec Baldwin’s love story with Hilaria is another proof that age is nothing but a number when it comes to love. Despite their 26-year age gap, the pair’s romance has continued to blossom away from the spotlight.
The couple began dating shortly after a chance meeting in February 2011. Alec and Hilaria went on to enjoy a whirlwind romance before tying the knot on June 29, 2012.
The intimate wedding ceremony was held at the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral in New York City. Alec, who was previously married to Kim Basinger, said he had no doubts about taking the big step with Hilaria.
During an interview with The New York Times, he said:
“I’ve dated a lot of people since my divorce, and have thought a lot about what I wanted and what I wanted to do. I thought about it too much, I suppose. I wasn’t really ready to take that chance and to act until I met Hilaria.”
The couple now shares seven children, sons — Rafael, 7, Leonardo, 6, Romeo, 4, and Eduardo, 2. They also share three daughters — Carmen, 9, Maria, 2, and six months old Ilaria.

Alec And Hilaria Baldwin Celebrate Engagement
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s engagement came as a surprise to many in April 2012. The two had only been dating for a couple of months when they decided to take their relationship to the next level.
It is now 11 years since that special moment, and the couple made sure to mark the occasion over the weekend. They both took to their Instagram pages to share sweet tributes as they marked 11 years since their engagement.
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s engagement celebration snaps featured a selfie of the couple posing in an elevator. The duo seemed to be on their way to a date night and captioned the photo, writing, “got engaged 11 years ago, today.”
The veteran actor took to his Instagram page to share a picture of his wife laying on the floor surrounded by their seven children. While captioning the picture, he wrote:
“Eleven years ago today, I got engaged to a wonderful human being. She’s under this pile somewhere. 11 years, 7 kids, an ocean of memories later, I love you Hilaria”
Hilaria also shared several pictures of herself and Alec living through sweet memories from their marriage. It was a welcome distraction for the couple, who are hoping for the best amidst Alec’s ongoing manslaughter trial.
