LOS ANGELES (AP) — Alex Baldwin and his wife Hilaria are the next family to star in their own reality series.
The actor and producer, who has seven children under the age of 10 with his wife, announced a TLC reality show about their lives as a party of nine. The show’s working title “The Baldwins” is set to be released in 2025.
“We’re inviting you into our home to experience the ups, downs, the good, the bad, the wild, and the crazy,” Baldwin said in a video shared to Instagram on Tuesday.
In the announcement video, the couple joked about Hilaria announcing another pregnancy, but she said they were done having kids, before the clip shows a chaotic scene of their kids screaming and the parents struggling to hold the kids together for a group photo.
The couple married in July 2012 and welcomed their first child in August 2013. Baldwin was previously married to actor Kim Basinger, with whom he had his eldest daughter, Ireland.
The announcement comes as Baldwin prepares for trial on a charge of involuntary manslaughter in a fatal shooting on the set of the film “Rust” in 2021. The trial is scheduled for July in Santa Fe and Baldwin has pleaded not guilty. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison.
During the filming of a Western film that Baldwin produced and starred in, his revolver fired, killing cinematographer Helena Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has said he did not pull the trigger.
In April, the film’s weapons supervisor Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to the maximum term of 18 months in New Mexico state prison after a jury found she had failed to follow gun safety protocols, leading to her conviction of involuntary manslaughter.
Baldwin’s legal team attempted to have the charge against him dismissed, but Judge Mary Marlowe Sommers, who also presided over Gutierrez-Reed’s case, upheld the charge in May.
