Television personality Hilaria Baldwin has found herself the target of fierce online mockery after venturing into the role of relationship advisor. The 41-year-old, married to actor Alec Baldwin for 13 years, shared a piece of advice on social media, prompting a wave of scepticism from users who questioned her expertise.
Social Media Post Sparks Backlash
Hilaria reshared a video from content creator Maureen Evelyn, which stated: 'Him not treating you like a princess isn't a problem. It's information. Use it. Leave it.' Accompanying the clip, Hilaria wrote: 'I get relationship advice questions a lot... this is such a good answer,' followed by heart emojis.
The post was quickly screenshotted and shared on Reddit, where users did not hold back. One commenter exclaimed, 'Who on earth is asking Hilaria Baldwin for RELATIONSHIP advice!?' while another wrote, 'I would take my dog's advice before Hillary.'
Critics were quick to highlight the perceived lack of relatability in her situation. Many pointed out that her life, married to a wealthy celebrity, is far removed from the everyday financial and domestic pressures most couples face.
Navigating a Public Marriage and Age Gap
The backlash comes just a month after Hilaria openly discussed the challenges within her own marriage. On Caroline Stanbury's Uncut And Uncensored podcast in November, she addressed the 26-year age gap between her and 67-year-old Alec.
'I don't believe that age is just a number, at least in our situation,' she admitted. 'There are certain things where I have to look at him and say, he has 26 more years of experience. And sometimes that's a flex, and sometimes that means that we need to do a little therapy.'
The couple, who met in a Manhattan restaurant in 2011 and married the following year, have seven children together. Alec also has a daughter, Ireland, from his previous marriage to Kim Basinger.
A History of Ups, Downs, and Intimate Advice
Despite their close bond, Hilaria has consistently been open about the normal strains of marriage. 'Do we have our hard moments? Do we have our normal marital arguments? One hundred percent,' she shared on the same podcast. She credits their mutual desire to make it work as the key to their longevity.
This is not the first time she has offered intimate insights. Back in 2020, while guest-hosting The Ellen DeGeneres Show with her husband, she revealed their secret to keeping romance alive amidst a busy family life. She recalled Alec telling her after their first child was born that she would always be his 'girlfriend', a mindset they maintain through constant flirting and making intimacy a priority.
The Baldwin family, who recently expanded by welcoming a Christmas puppy named Laila, continues to navigate their high-profile life in the public eye, where even well-intentioned shares can quickly become a source of controversy.
