Hilaria Baldwin found it "very cathartic" to do a reality show with Alec Baldwin after the 'Rust' tragedy.
The 41-year-old businesswoman has been married to Hollywood star Alec, 66, since 2012 and following the incident on the 2021 Western film - which saw the actor charged with involuntary manslaughter after a prop gun he was holding discharged and fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins - she relished being able to speak out when they let the cameras into their home for TLC series 'The Baldwins'.
She told People: "It was an opportunity for us to actually speak. It was a really safe space.
"And I think it was also very cathartic, almost like a diary, during a very unsure time of our life. That felt both terrifying and like it could get us through day by day."
Alec - who has Carmen, 11, Rafael, nine, Leonardo, eight, Romeo, six, Edu, four, Lucia, three, Maria, three, and Ilaria, two, with Hilaria, and daughter Ireland, 29, with ex-wife Kim Basinger - explained that he signed onto the series because he is not too desperate to undergo "work-related" projects anymore and saw it as an an opportunity to spend more time with his loved ones.
He said: "We did the show because it’s in place of doing a movie or a play. Now I think to myself, ‘Am I going to be away from my kids five nights out of the week until 11 o’clock at night?
"For me, work-related things really aren’t that critical anymore. I thought, ‘I get to spend time with my family.
"I always joke with her and say, ‘You know where I should be right now, don’t you? We should be on Geffen’s yacht, drinking a cappuccino and reading a book, and having dinner with Spielberg or whatever.
"This is my reality. I wouldn't change anything."
