Hilaria Baldwin didn’t sign a prenup because she didn’t understand what it was, lol

Hilaria and Alec Baldwin’s TLC reality show, The Balwins, premiered on Sunday night. I didn’t watch it, not even to hate-watch or mock it. I just find the whole thing to be uncomfortable because Hilaria is clearly some baby-crazy grifter with an entirely falsified backstory, and Alec is… well, we already know. So, no, I won’t watch, but I will cover stories that come out of this mess. Apparently, there was a conversation about prenups and whether Hilaria signed one. Spoiler: she did not. Hilariously, Hilaria claimed that she didn’t understand what a “prenup” was at the time. She was 28 years old and a Boston-born, NYU-educated woman when she married Alec. But there was a larger scam at play, and Hilaria got what she wanted.

Hilaria Baldwin didn’t exactly know what she was getting herself into during the early days of her marriage to Alec Baldwin. During the Sunday, Feb. 23 premiere of the couple’s new reality series, The Baldwins, Hilaria, 41, and Alec, 66, reflected on the conversation they had about a prenup before their 2012 wedding — a topic Alec brought up given his first marriage to Kim Basinger had failed.

“She wasn’t happy about it. It’s an awkward thing,” Alec recalled in a confessional, and Hilaria said she did “not quite understand what a prenup” was when he asked her.

“Because you are like, ‘After a certain number of kids, it’s this.’ And I was like, ‘You know what? I’ll just sign it,’ which was probably very stupid of me back then.”

She would “read it again” if she was faced with the question now, but the couple ended up agreeing that neither of them wanted a prenup anyway. “I just said, ‘I won’t sign it. I don’t really want to think about the end by the beginning.’ And then, you were like, ‘Yeah, I don’t want to do it either,'” Hilaria said.

During the couple’s recent PEOPLE interview about the TLC series, they shared that they did not sign a prenup before their marriage, as Alec joked, “Can you imagine having a prenup with her?”

“We did not sign a prenup because — I said I would, and then you’re like, ‘Okay, we don’t have to,'” Hilaria said.

Alec then alleged that she “started to cry a little bit,” to which his wife rebuffed, “Oh, my God, I did not cry.” She also joked that signing one would go “against my gold-digging values,” poking fun at speculation over the nature of her and Alec’s relationship.

I love how her fake-Spanish comes and goes to the point where she forgets the word “cucumber” and plays dumb about prenups, and yet she’s sly enough to make a golddigger joke. To be fair, I don’t think Alec is rolling in money at this point. I mean, he’s comfortable, he’s not poor, but he and Hilaria have a high overhead – seven children, lots of nannies, and maintaining at least two homes. There’s a reason why they finally agreed to the reality show, I’m just saying. Alec is a fool for shrugging off the prenup too, but I agree that it doesn’t even matter at this point, not after seven kids.

PS… You guys were right about Hilaria getting her bust refurbished. Those are some big-ass bolt-ons.

    Good manipulator. Alec probably liked to think she didn’t know what it is. And she really must live him. What an ego.

  2. Giddy says:

    Poor Hilaria. If they had only explained, how you say it prenups?, in her native Spanglish, then she could have understood. La chica esta muy loca.

  3. Sue says:

    In Hilarious defense, after that many kids, I’d get a refurbishment too. After only one, that part of my body really changed.

    • trailmix says:

      Not to get too conspiracy-theory on you, but there are rumors she only carried one kid (the first one) and the rest are surrogate. Honestly, it tracks. Some of the later photos of her “pregnant” are really hilariously fake looking.

    • Mightymolly says:

      No shame in a bit of a refurbishment but it’s like the surgeon was punking her. Those things walk into a room before she does.

    • Mimi says:

      If I had her money, I would renovate the whole house. But yeah, they are hilaria-ously bad.

  4. Kitten says:

    It’s important to note that she didn’t grow up in any ol’ part of Boston but in a $4M mansion in Beacon Hill. She also went to Cambridge School of Weston–Weston being one of the richest towns in Massachusetts. So yeah, she def is familiar with the concept of a prenup.

    • trailmix says:

      And her dad is (was) a lawyer! There’s literally no way.

      • Eva says:

        Whatever the truth is, fortunately it’s Alec’s problem, not ours. Besides, the guy seems so tired of life that he probably doesn’t care.

    • Mimi says:

      Now I’m curious what her old friends think of that fake accent and history and why it took so long to come out.

      • Tis True Tis True says:

        My guess is that the name change was partly to hide from people who knew her.

        Had a roommate who gave a guy a fake name to blow him off. Then ran into him again and realized she’d made a mistake. Total gold digger situation. Did I warn the guy? No, but I never really met him either and it was clear that it wasn’t going to last long. Also, it was so much fun to watch the shenanigans.

    “And I was like, ‘You know what? I’ll just sign it,’ ”
    “I just said, ‘I won’t sign it. I don’t really want to think about the end by the beginning.’
    “We did not sign a prenup because — I said I would, and then you’re like, ‘Okay, we don’t have to,’”

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL forever. Girl still can’t get her story straight. Did you sign it or not, Hilaria? Like, WTF happened? I don’t believe for a second that he has no pre-nup. No way.

    “What is — how you say? — truth?”

  6. Mightymolly says:

    Don’t judge. It was screaming at me on Max so I clicked it. Husband was in listening range and was line what the wuuuuuut were they thinking? It’s tackier than you think it is and you’re thinking it’s pretty bad.

    • DeltaJuliet says:

      I have seen the trailer a few times and they keep leading with “dealing with trauma”. They can fuck all the way off. Helena’s family has trauma. You do not.

      • Mightymolly says:

        Yeah it’s really that bad, and I don’t think it’s malicious editing. They are that self-involved and tone deaf.

  7. kelleybelle says:

    Ridiculous boob-job, that’s all I got from this.

  8. Lucy2 says:

    ¿Por qué ella no entendió? ¿Estaba escrito en español?

    It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone get played as hard as Alec did. No pre-nup, a ton of kids, and now a reality show you know he hates doing. Good choices there, Baldwin.

  9. Lau says:

    Has anybody watched the first episode ? I just want to know if she speaks with a Spanish/Mexican accent.

    • mightymolly says:

      I watched it, and it’s hard to tell. There are no really egregious moments of it, but there are definitely some moments where she’s talking quickly and it’s hard to say. At one point, Alec even tells her she’s using a Spanish cadence while speaking in English. I’m just gonna leave my eye roll right here.

  10. Angelica Schuyler says:

    After all those kids they have, would a prenup even matter? He’d be paying child support from the nursing home, and she would get enough to live comfortably before you would even factor in spousal support if they were ever to split. At this point, ‘It’s cheaper to keep her’.
    Really, I have to applaud her commitment to the grift, fake accent and all. She’s gotten exactly what she wants out of him.

  11. Doro says:

    There is an absolutely scathing article in the Guardian about their show- Google it and read the first paragraph! It’s hilarious! By Lucy Mangan

  12. SIde Eye says:

    I didn’t realize Alex is 66! Their youngest is 2! Wtf. She played him so hard! Basically he can’t leave. Child support for 7 kids in NYC would ruin him. And he’d have 16 years to pay for at least one. He will be 82 when that child is 18. Please don’t tell me I am age shaming. It’s not an Al Pacino situation but it’s still pretty bad. He’s also a dad and a grandpa at the same time because his daughter Ireland (from his first marriage to Kim Basinger) just had a baby.

    That scene in Friday where dude leans over Deebo and says “you got knocked the F*** out!” comes to mind.

  13. Lady Digby says:

    Are these two three of the biggest boobs in Hollywood?

  14. Eve Pane says:

    You mean like when Yoko Ono had no idea who John Lennon was.
    This woman is giving a master class in keep your man. No pre nup and give him a bunch of kids.

  15. Marla Clark says:

    Maybe if it had been written in Spanish… lol 🙂

    I believe she has mental health issues.
