Hilaria Baldwin Embraces Age Gap with Husband Alec, Shares Therapy Insights

In a recent interview, Hilaria Baldwin, 41, discussed the 26-year age gap between herself and her husband, Alec Baldwin, 67. Hilaria acknowledged that the age difference is not "just a number" in their situation and that it sometimes requires them to seek therapy.

Hilaria explained that Alec's 26 additional years of experience can be both a "flex" and a challenge in their relationship. She noted that by the time you reach your 40s, you tend to have a better understanding of what you want, which can be a "beautiful thing" for a relationship. Hilaria believes the confidence and self-awareness that comes with age can be "extremely sexy and extremely just comforting," in contrast to the "ups and the downs and the insecurities" often experienced when younger.

The couple, who married in 2012, share seven children together. Alec also has a 30-year-old daughter from a previous marriage. Hilaria emphasized the importance of not trying to "please everybody" and instead focusing on what you want in a relationship, which she has learned is a valuable lesson as she has grown older.
