Hilaria Baldwin’s Sweet Gesture for Alec Ahead of “Rust” Trial
In the latest episode of TLC’s “The Baldwins,” Hilaria Baldwin opened up about the heartfelt gift she prepared for husband Alec Baldwin just days before his trial related to the tragic 2021 shooting on the set of “Rust.” As the couple faced this challenging moment, Hilaria wanted to ensure Alec felt her unwavering support, even if she couldn’t be by his side in New Mexico. On the show, she revealed that she gifted him a St. Michael necklace and a silk scarf emblazoned with the same religious figure, both symbols of protection and love. Hilaria expressed her hopes for the gift, saying, “I’m hoping that he’ll wear it and it says we’re here to protect you, stand with you, love you. You are not alone.”
However, the gift didn’t go exactly as planned; Alec humorously noted that the necklace didn’t fit him well. But Hilaria remained optimistic, stating, “One of the most important things when we’re facing challenges is to know there’s something bigger than us.” This moment encapsulates their bond amid the storm, showcasing how love and faith can serve as anchors during turbulent times.
Amidst the emotional backdrop of the trial, Alec gifted Hilaria a set of pearl earrings and a card promising they could “rebuild” their lives after the legal turmoil. He added a joke about selling the earrings if the trial didn’t go their way—classic Alec humor, even in dire straits.
The trial itself has been a media whirlwind, with Alec facing involuntary manslaughter charges after the accidental shooting that claimed the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza. Despite maintaining that he never pulled the trigger, Alec was indicted in 2021. However, the case took a dramatic turn when it was dismissed after prosecutors allegedly withheld evidence—a major blow to the legal proceedings.
As the Baldwin family navigates this challenging chapter, Hilaria’s gesture highlights the importance of support and faith during hard times. Fans can catch more of their journey on “The Baldwins,” which airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
