Alec Baldwin Thanks Wife Hilaria For What ‘You Have Given To Me’
By Kristin Myers on January 24, 2022 at 12:06 PM EST
Actor Alec Baldwin is responding to an Instagram video posted by wife Hilaria Baldwinon Monday morning.
Hilaria has been posting more and more snaps of her children and her family ever since the new year started. The Baldwins had a rough 2021 after the "30 Rock" star was involved in a fatal shooting on the set of “Rust” last October.
A gun he was holding for a scene discharged and struck cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, killing her. Baldwin has insisted that he did not pull the trigger on the gun and claims he has no knowledge of how a live bullet entered the gun he was holding for the scene.

On January 14, Baldwin settled a weeks-long controversy when he finally turned over his cell phone to help with the investigation. Baldwin had explained in numerous Instagram posts and videos that although the warrant was issued in New Mexico, where the shooting took place, the warrant had to go through his home state of New York.
It is unclear what specific information authorities are searching his phone for, but Baldwin turned over his phone voluntarily and also gave officials his password to unlock his phone. Baldwin has insisted that he is “fully cooperating” with the investigation.

In this morning's video, Alec Baldwin can be seen lying on what looks to be a "Star Wars" Baby Yoda/Grogu pillow on the floor with his children. His daughter is lying on his chest and two of his young sons are gathered around him as Alec and the kids listen along to something on an iPad.
“Beautiful boys,” Hilaria captioned the 36-second-long video.
Alec Baldwin commented on the video, writing, “Thank you for that you have given to me…” It earned 81 likes from fans, including one from Hilaria, who replied to his comment. “@alecbaldwininsta we have made quite a little team,” she wrote. “Somos un buen equipo.”
“Nothing more important!” commented Marilu Henner. “So much love and life and tears in the power of it all! I love you guys! Xoxo.” Hilaria responded to the comment saying, “[heart-emoji] you.”
Many fans applauded the “sweet” video, which gained almost 20,000 likes within one hour of posting.

At the beginning of the month, Hilaria announced that she thought that her 2022 is going to be “flawless” as she encouraged her followers to be kinder to one another in the new year.
Hilaria began her post by saying, "Apparently 2022 is going to be flawless.”
“We have dealt with so much awfulness lately, so it must be about time, right?” she asked. “I planned a whole post & year dedicated to the best year ever.”
“Then I got scared-what if more horrible things happen & I can’t make it all good for everyone?” she continued. “Then I realized that this thinking is the problem. Life is naturally flawed. Its beautiful & tragic, happy & sad. There is no magical: it’s just gonna be good. Because we know when it inevitably isn’t, so many of give up and throw in the towel.”

“It’s about HOW we ride the ups and downs of life’s waves that will partly determine our quality of life,” she shared. “How we take care of ourselves, how we take care of each other. Which leaves me to this conclusion: dedicate this year to kindness.”
“Kindness nurtures others and the world we inhabit and leave to our children,” she explained. “Kind also just feels good. This isn’t Darwinism, the kindness well is never empty-IF we continue to fill it with our will, action and determination.”

“Remember Care Bears? The 80s child that I am goes back to blasting a rainbow at negativity. So join me & be a care bear,” she joked. “Taking action is the only way to tip the scale back into a positive place. We have to add more of the kind ingredient to drown out negativity.”
“Silence will make us weak & give more space to the very few who want to spread negativity,” she concluded. “Let’s be vocal for us now, our future, & the environment we leave our children. We got this #kindwarriors2022.”
