Hilaria Baldwin has been capturing plenty of attention lately for her impressive stint on Dancing With The Stars Season 34. While audiences have been discussing her energetic performances, a new wave of speculation has emerged about her marriage with actor Alec Baldwin. The rumours began after fans noticed that Hilaria was seen in public without her wedding ring—something she’s almost never without. The small detail quickly fuelled gossip that the couple, who have been married for over a decade, might be facing relationship troubles. However, Hilaria has now responded to the claims with her trademark humour and grace.
The wellness influencer and yoga instructor addressed the speculation head-on through an Instagram video, replying to a fan who asked about her missing ring. “Don’t worry, Cammy,” she playfully wrote, before showing that her ring was indeed safe and sound. In the same clip, Hilaria was seen cuddling a stuffed animal she jokingly referred to as “Alec’s stand-in while he’s gone to work.” She went on to clarify that she simply doesn’t wear her ring during rehearsals because of the intense dance routines. “The ring is right here,” she said with a smile. “I don’t wear it to practice because it hurts with the crazy stuff we are doing.”
Far from confirming any marital trouble, Hilaria’s lighthearted response was a reminder of how secure and supportive her relationship with Alec remains. Speaking to PEOPLE after her first Dancing With The Stars performance, she revealed that Alec had been cheering her on from the very beginning. In fact, he had encouraged her for years to join the show, believing it would bring her joy. Alec and several of their seven children were even spotted in the audience at the season premiere on September 16, 2025, watching proudly as Hilaria danced a lively Cha-Cha to Jennifer Lopez’s “Let’s Get Loud.”
Alec continued to show his support in later episodes, attending more tapings with their kids — Carmen, Rafael, Leonardo, Romeo, Eduardo, María, and Ilaria — who all sat front row as their mother delivered a spirited samba performance to “Shake It to the Max.” Reflecting on how special it was to have her family cheering her on, Hilaria said, “The purpose of dancing is not just to feel and enjoy the work we do, but to make people happy. To have Kris [Jenner], Alec, my children, and my friends here is so wonderful.”
Hilaria and Alec Baldwin’s love story has always been one of connection and persistence. The pair first met in 2011 at New York City’s Pure Food and Wine restaurant, where Alec reportedly approached her and said, “I must know you,” before handing her his phone number. Their chemistry was instant, and after a few months of dating, the couple tied the knot in June 2012 at the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral in Manhattan. Despite their 25-year age gap—Alec was 52 and Hilaria 27 at the time—the two built a strong, affectionate marriage and welcomed seven children together.
Now, as Hilaria continues to shine on Dancing With The Stars, her marriage appears as grounded as ever, with Alec proudly standing by her side. The missing ring, it turns out, was nothing more than a practical choice during dance rehearsals—not a sign of marital discord.
