Alec Baldwin Praises Ex-Wife
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Divorce, Features,
Alec Baldwin still thinks his ex-wife Kim Basinger is one of the most beautiful women that ever lived.
The former 30 Rock star, whose 29-year-old wife Hilaria Thomas is set to give birth to their first child soon, also thinks that Oscar-winner Kim is a good role model for their 17-year-old daughter, Ireland, who aspires to follow in her mother's footsteps by becoming a top model.
The 55-year-old actor told Access Hollywood, "[Ireland's] mother is obviously one of the most beautiful women that [has] ever lived -- and even divorce doesn't muddy my view of that. Kim is one of the most beautiful women that ever lived and even Ireland sees that. The good news is my daughter is someone who somewhat understands... It's hard at that age to have that wisdom that beauty comes and goes."
Alec, who bitterly divorced Kim in 2002, can't wait for his yoga instructor wife to give birth and admits he never expected to have the kind of family he has now: "I never imagined I would be sitting at a table with my wife having a baby and I have a daughter that's almost 18 years old. It's bizarre."

Alec Baldwin: Kim and I Worked Too Hard

Alec Baldwin admits his career had a negative effect on his marriage to Kim Basinger.
The 30 Rock star recently tied the knot with yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas and is hopeful their relationship will be more "normal" than his disastrous union with the Charlie St Cloud actress - whom he split from in 2000 after seven years of marriage - because their busy work lives meant they got their priorities wrong.
"I want it to be different. When I was younger, I was married to a woman who was very successful. When you're both in the business, you both know that you're going to light one film off the other. It's like chain smoking. You just have to do one after the other. You sense that this isn't right, you have this daunting, overwhelming, overarching priority that takes you away for long periods at a time. Now I'm with someone who's not in the business and I would like to have a different life this time, have it be more normal."
