How long have Alec and Hilaria Baldwin been married? Actor's wife reveals in upcoming memoir she almost walked away from their marriage

Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have been married for nearly 13 years after the two tied the knot in June 2012. In her upcoming memoir, Manual Not Included, which is set to release on May 6, the yoga instructor and entrepreneur revealed that she almost walked away from her marriage.

In the book, Hilaria Baldwin mentions that the couple went through a difficult time before and after she gave birth to their second child, Rafael, in June 2015. Hilarie mentioned that she felt disrespected by Alec when he took calls and answered emails when she was in labor, and the two fought a lot.

"It really pi**ed me off, and I didn't hesitate to tell him so."

Alec had also returned to Saturday Night Live and resumed his other projects right away after Hilaria gave birth prematurely.

"That year was probably the rockiest for us, and not just in terms of juggling a baby and a toddler. I was so focused on how I thought things should be, and Alec was so set in his ways. Neither one of us would budge. I took my ring off as a sign that I was potentially ready to walk.

Hilaria Baldwin admitted that the two were headed for a divorce, but instead, decided to take a step back and work on their marriage. The two renewed their vows for their fifth wedding anniversary in 2017, and in 2019, Alec upgraded Hilaria's engagement ring to a 10-carat emerald-cut diamond.
