Hilaria Baldwin didn’t hold back when her husband, Alec Baldwin, interrupted her during a live red carpet interview. The former yoga instructor was speaking with *Extra* about their family’s reality show, *The Baldwins*, at the grand reopening of Planet Hollywood in New York City on March 11 when Alec, always ready to make a scene, chimed in uninvited.
As Hilaria discussed the show’s future, Alec—66—couldn’t resist offering his own unsolicited commentary: “It’s gonna be great,” he said, giving his wife an over-the-top compliment, “You’re a winner.”
Not one to let her husband steal the spotlight, Hilaria, 41, fired back, “Oh my God. When I’m talking, you’re not talking. No. When I’m talking, you’re not talking!” She joked about needing to “cut him out of the show” if he couldn’t behave.
But Alec wasn’t done yet. As the conversation continued, he decided to distract his wife further, asking, “What’s the Spanish word for essential?”—all while Hilaria was trying to talk about her daily routine with their seven children.
Clearly frustrated, Hilaria responded, “Now you’re just doing that. Like, why? Why are you distracting me?” Alec, ever the charmer, responded, “I’m just captivated by your beauty.”
Hilaria was not amused. “Oh my God, stop. You’re annoying me. Stop. It’s not cute. No, it’s distracting me.”

The interaction took an even more awkward turn when Alec, unable to resist another opportunity to flatter Hilaria, mouthed more praise about her “beauty” to the camera. Hilaria, now thoroughly irritated, threatened, “I’m going to, like, walk out of this interview right now.”
With a roll of her eyes, she shifted the focus back to the interview, talking about the importance of routine in her chaotic household. “It’s all about routine,” she explained, “Every day we strive to be boring, and then un-boring things happen to us as they do with seven children.”
The couple shares seven kids together: Carmen, 11; Rafael, 9; Leonardo, 8; Romeo, 6; Eduardo, 4; María, 4; and Ilaria, 2. Alec also has a daughter, Ireland, 29, with his ex-wife, actress Kim Basinger.
While Hilaria may have been trying to maintain composure, TikTok users didn’t hold back in their reaction to the exchange. Some called Hilaria’s behavior “rude” and “disrespectful,” with one person commenting that she spoke to Alec like he was “her dad.” Another joked, “Don’t make me defend Alec Baldwin,” clearly amused by the awkwardness of the moment.
Despite the public tension, the couple is pushing forward with their new reality show. After teasing the possibility in 2023, Alec and Hilaria officially announced in 2024 that *The Baldwins* would be hitting the small screen, offering a behind-the-scenes look at their family life.
This moment on the red carpet is just one glimpse into the sometimes chaotic, sometimes charming dynamic of the Baldwin household—whether or not they’re ready for prime time. It’s clear that while Alec might be stealing a few too many moments in front of the camera, Hilaria’s not afraid to set him straight when it comes to who’s in charge of the interview.
