Hilaria Baldwin Talks About Avoiding 'Wicked Stepmother' Label
HuffPost
Hilaria is the stepmother to husband Alec Baldwin's eldest daughter, Ireland.
Hilaria Baldwin knew there was one role she was never going to fill in Alec Baldwin’s life: “wicked stepmother” to his first daughter, Ireland Baldwin.
Alec shares daughter Ireland, now 29, with fellow actor Kim Basinger. The two divorced in 2002 and were involved in a nasty custody battle over their only child.
Hilaria revealed on the family’s TLC reality show on Sunday that she was only going to pursue a relationship with Alec if things were OK with Ireland.
“When I met her I told Alec, ‘If she doesn’t like me, I am not staying,’” Hilaria said, adding that she was “not going to be the wicked stepmother.”
“My place in life is not to come into a family and cause problems,” she said, explaining that the two have a “unique” relationship as well.
