Hilaria Baldwin talks about ’emotional time’ for family

January 31, 2023

Hilaria Baldwin sounded completely bereft on her podcast as she opened up about the toll husband Alec’s impending involuntary manslaughter charge has had on them and their seven kids.

“It’s been an emotional time for my family,” said Hilaria, 39, who wore a “Mama bear” cap Tuesday as she left home with her husband hours before he’s expected to be charged over the deadly “Rust” shooting.

Speaking with a hoarse, faltering voice — but without her Spanish accent — Hilaria sounded devastated as she thanked her “Witches Anonymous” listeners “for your support and your kindness and your reason.”

“Quite honestly, I think without it, we would crumble,” she admitted on the podcast posted Sunday.

“So thank you so much for being our rock right now — because I don’t feel so strong.”

Specifically, Hilaria said she worries for the seven kids she shares with the Hollywood star, devoting the episode to chatting to Dr. Hillary Goldsher, a clinical psychologist who specializes in parenting and “trauma, depression and anxiety.”

Hilaria Baldwin, Alec Baldwin — Hilaria Baldwin explained on her podcast that it has been “an emotional time” for her family.

“Kids are sponges,” Baldwin said of the youngsters picking up on their parents’ stress.

“And while certain conversations are not always age-appropriate, we cannot deny that they don’t feel the energy and pick up on certain things in the family and at home.

“Also, parenting little people can be stressful regardless of added stress,” she said.

Hilaria joined her husband early Tuesday as they left their Greenwich Village home to take some of their kids to school.

Neither addressed the charges expected to be filed that day over Baldwin accidentally shooting dead cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, a 42-year-old mom, on the New Mexico set of “Rust” set in October 2021.

As they walked to a waiting SUV, the troubled actor warned waiting for news media to “back up” or else they would “get hurt.”

Wearing a “Mama bear” cap, Hilaria accused the media of giving her kids “nightmares” while covering the deadly shooting that could see the Hollywood star serving time behind bars.

Alec, 64, has long denied pulling the trigger, famously saying of the shooting: “Someone is responsible … but I know it’s not me.”

Criminal charges against the “30 Rock” star — along with the Western film’s rookie armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed — were announced earlier this month, though not officially filed.

Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed face up to five years behind bars, if convicted.
