Alec is known for the occasional outburst. In 2019, he had to complete anger management counseling after he pleaded guilty to harassment following a dispute over a parking space. Years earlier, in 2007, he faced a public relations nightmare when a nasty voicemail he left for his daughter Ireland, then 12 years old, came to light. He said to Ireland in part, “I’ll let you know how I really feel about what a thoughtless little pig you are. You are a rude, little pig, okay?” (via Buzzfeed).
And, in a rough moment during labor, Hilaria Baldwin was apparently making too much noise for her husband’s taste. Alec, who at one point was on a phone call, blurted out to his wife, “Shush! Can you keep it down?” as she was giving birth to their second child, son Rafael (per Newsweek). Needless to say, this didn’t go over well and Hilaria thought in that moment her marriage might be over.
According to her, he realized almost immediately that he came off “like an ass,” but she refused to let him off easy. “I’ll spare you the details of my reaction for now. But it never happened again” she recalled to Newsweek. But, as she said, they “kept the marriage. Went on to have 522 babies after.”
