Here’s some news that will surprise anyone following the headlines: Alec Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, are considering opening up their world to give audiences an all-access-pass to their lives via a reality show. According to SiriusXMs Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast, Alec Baldwin told host Kelly Ripa that the couple may dive into the reality realm.

If your first thought, like ours, was that it would be a wild time in their lives to follow, considering Alec Baldwin’s ongoing case surrounding the Rust shooting, the couple say that they’re inclined to film the series because of their family. With seven children between the pair, ranging from 1 to 10 years old, along with Alec Baldwin’s child from a previous relationship, Ireland Baldwin, who is 28 years old, the show would be a lively inside look at the packed household. 

While he says that he used to be able to “jump on a plane and go to L.A.” at the drop of a hat, times have changed for Alec Baldwin over the last decade as he and his wife continued to build their family. Now, he says, between child care professionals, his spouse, and their kids, he would need to purchase around 11 plane tickets – noting that “They don’t even have 11 seats in the business class section of the plane.”

And, although Alec Baldwin says that he’s “done” having children, with the youngest being only one, he’s a long way off from having an empty nest. After picking up and moving the entire unit from New York to Los Angeles a few years ago in order to make more room for jobs, Baldwin found that he was simply “gonna break even” with what he was being paid on his latest project.

Aside from venturing into reality TV territory, Alec Baldwin has had heads turning over the last two years following a killing on the set of his Western film, Rust. The paparazzi have been stuck to the actor like glue since the tragic and deadly occurrence that ended in the death of the film’s cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Fingers have been pointed in every direction, with everyone from the armorer to the director and even Alec Baldwin being blamed for Hutchins’ death, which was caused when a prop gun fired a live round of ammunition directly at Hutchins.

The investigation into the accidental death has involved a multitude of law enforcement agencies and seen a slew of charges brought up and dropped over the last two years. At the beginning of this year, the Santa Fe district attorney revealed that Alec Baldwin and the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, would be brought up on charges of involuntary manslaughter. After pleading not guilty in February, the charges facing Alec Baldwin were dropped in April, however the actor has once again found himself in hot water with the authorities over the case.

Rust Is Now In Post-Production

Taking a “the show must go on” attitude, filming picked up on Rust last spring with production finally coming to a close in late May. With the project now in post-production, it will likely be in the news more and more in the upcoming days. Whether Alec Baldwin and his family choose to move forward with their reality dreams, the actor will inevitably continue to be in the public eye while the trial moves forward.
