Alec's trial over the accidental killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021 left a significant impact on his marriage and even his kids. From Hilaria's angle, as noted by The Blast,  preparing their children for the possibility of their dad going to jail was not an easy process.

She disclosed at the time that she put it upon herself to provide a barricade and barrier around her children in the thick of the scandal. It was also crucial for her to assure their kids that it is acceptable for them to grow up as they have chosen without feeling the burden of their father's struggles.

Hilaria revealed that she had to brush through storms of emotions and tuck them down to give her children the necessary support through the legal debacle.

While she did not deny the pivotal role Alec's support played in pushing her to accept the invitation, the yoga instructor declared that she had been putting in the work.
