Hilaria Baldwin is looking back at her engagement to Alec Baldwin in their new TLC show.
In “The Baldwins,” which debuts Sunday, Feb. 23 at 10 p.m., viewers will get an inside look at the couple’s home life at their five-bedroom Manhattan apartment with their seven kids.
In the series premiere, the former yoga teacher, 41, opened up about marrying the Hollywood actor, 66.
Alec, who was married to Kim Basinger from 1993 to 2002, said in his confessional, “After my first marriage, I said, ‘Let’s have a prenup.’ It’s an awkward thing,” to which Hilaria chimed in, “It is awkward.”
“But I don’t actually quite understand what a prenup is, because you’re like ‘after a certain number of kids, it’s this.’ I was like, ‘You know what, I’ll just sign it,’” she added. “Which was probably stupid of me back then. Now, I’d read it again. But I just said I would sign it.”
Hilaria added, “I said I would. And then you’re like, ‘OK, we don’t have to.’”
The pair have seven kids: Carmen, 11, Rafael, 9, Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 6, Eduardo and Marilu, 4, and Ilaria, 2. Alec and Basinger are parents to daughter Ireland, 29.
Also in the first episode, Hilaria defends her accent, which has sparked criticism over the years.
“I love English. I also love Spanish,” she told the cameras. “And when I mix the two, that doesn’t make me inauthentic. It makes me normal.”
“I’d be lying if I said it didn’t make me sad and hurt and put me in dark places … but my family, my friends, my community are the [people] who speak multiple languages, who have belonging in multiple places, and realize that we are a mix … that’s gonna have an impact in how we sound,” she said regarding the rumors that her accent is fake.
“That’s normal,” Hilaria quipped. “That’s called being human.”
Days before their show airs, Alec and his other half sat down to discuss why now was the right time to do reality television.
“Telling your story is one thing, and showing your story is something else,” Hilaria told People. “It felt authentic, it felt human. It felt very empowering.”
“We did the show because it’s in place of doing a movie or a play. Now I think to myself, ‘Am I going to be away from my kids five nights out of the week until 11 o’clock at night?’” she added. “For me, work-related things really aren’t that critical anymore. I thought, ‘I get to spend time with my family.’”
While the duo’s main focus will always be family, Alec couldn’t help but tease his wife about their big brood.
“I always joke with her and say, ‘You know where I should be right now, don’t you? We should be on [David] Geffen’s yacht, drinking a cappuccino and reading a book, and having dinner with [Steven] Spielberg or whatever,’” he told the outlet, to which Hilaria noted, “Instead, we’re changing diapers!”
And that is ironic, considering how Alec once teased his brother Billy Baldwin for having three kids with wife Chynna Phillips.
“I remember when he made fun of me when Chynna and I were pregnant with our third child,” the “No Address” star, told The Post on Monday. “He said, ‘What are you, dad?’ Because my mother and father had six kids.”
Billy, 61, and Phillips, 57, tied the knot in 1995 and have daughters Brooke, 20, and Jameson, 24, and son Vance, 24.
“And then he got married again and he had child three, four, five, six,” Billy noted, “and I said, ‘What are you, Anthony Quinn?’”
“And that’s a joke because there is an actor, Anthony Quinn, who when he was [82] had a child,” he added. “Tony Randall had a child at like 75.”
