Alec Baldwin Reflects on Divorce's Impact on Daughter Ireland

The actor discusses the lasting effects of his contentious custody battle with Kim Basinger on their now-adult daughter during his new reality show.

  • Alec Baldwin revealed on his TLC show 'The Baldwins' that his divorce from Kim Basinger negatively affected his relationship with their daughter, Ireland Baldwin.
  • The divorce, finalized in 2002, included a seven-year custody battle that Baldwin described as 'insanity' and 'really, really tough.'
  • Baldwin expressed regret over how the publicized conflict impacted Ireland, who was seven years old at the time, and apologized for his actions, including a leaked voicemail incident in 2007.
  • Ireland, now 29 and a mother herself, has since reconciled with Baldwin, who says they now share a 'good relationship.'
  • Baldwin emphasized that he is applying lessons from his past parenting challenges to his current relationship with his younger children from his marriage to Hilaria Baldwin.
