On Monday, TLC unveiled the first trailer for Alec Baldwin and his second wife Hilaria’s reality show The Baldwins – premiering February 23 – which features their ‘wild’ household containing ‘seven children, six animals, and two parents.’
After 18 seconds of the married couple of 12 years playfully scolding their kids about not ‘peeing in the pool’ and ‘eating chocolate’ the camera cut to black and revealed the New Mexico desert landscape where the Rust shooting took place.
‘A son lost his mom in the most unthinkable tragedy,’ the 41-year-old culture vulture – whose Spanish scandal unfolded in 2020 – said somberly.
‘This is never something to forget, and we’re trying to parent through it.’
Alec is then seen wiping away tears before confessing: ‘Honestly, from the bottom of my soul, I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have you and these kids.’
Hilaria (born Hillary Lynn Hayward-Thomas) added: ‘We’ve had bad moments, but we found our foundation… we’re solid and we’re here together.’

The 66-year-old Oscar nominee’s involuntary manslaughter trial was dismissed on July 12 after he denied ever pulling the trigger on the revolver that fired a single bullet into Rust director Joel Souza’s arm and punctured cinematographer Halyna Hutchins’s chest killing her in 2021.
Halyna tragically died, at age 42, leaving behind her husband Matt Hutchins and 12-year-old son Andros.
Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months in New Mexico Women’s Correctional Facility on April 15 for involuntary manslaughter conviction for her role in the shooting.
On January 9, Baldwin filed a civil lawsuit against the Rust case prosecutors, investigators, and commissioners for defamation and malicious prosecution and civil rights violations due to ‘intentionally mishandling evidence.’
On TLC’s official YouTube page, user @diansasmita-tx7eh commented: ‘”A son lost his mom in the most unthinkable tragedy and we’re trying to parent through it.” Somehow, they make it about themselves.’
YouTube user @sowhappy agreed: ‘Pretty shameful to use a death for show publicity…especially when he pulled the trigger. Not buying the “Whoa is me. I’m going to lament in my mansion with a manicured lawn and pool.” Cue the sad music.’
‘So he kills someone (a sacrifice, iykyk) and his American wife pretending to be Spanish,’ YouTube user @TruthBeTold0914 wrote.
‘This folks, just goes to show, if you’re high ranking enough in the celebrity world, then you can not only get away with things but also get your own show. Definitely a PR thing to make him and his breeder look good.’
On TLC’s official Instagram page, many viewers wondered where the Baldwins’ two hired nannies were in the preview.

Instagram user @italia_vita_bella commented: ‘So faking an entire Spanish persona and gaslighting the public about it also while failing to leave out the numerous nannies in her countdown of their life and playing it off that they’re doing this on their own – just adds to the disingenuous nonsense they put out there. No thanks’

‘Why not mention how many nannies?!’ Instagram user @anyutka7 added

Instagram user @myrtlefobert wrote: ‘Two of the most obnoxious people planet. Her multiple lies and grifts and his mercurial temper and ego. What could go wrong? Also what she’s not counting (nor does she in her “book”) is the army of nannies and housekeepers that do the real work’

Instagram user @comiskeyniall joked: ‘Does it come with Spanish subtitles?’

Also missing from The Baldwins preview was Alec’s Oregon-based eldest daughter Ireland (from his seven-year marriage to Oscar winner Kim Basinger), who welcomed her 20-month-old daughter Holland with Grammy winner RAC.
The Here’s the Thing podcaster told the AP on November 11 of the upcoming show that he ‘wasn’t very fun’ without scripted dialogue: ‘[I prefer directors to] tell me what to do.’
