Alec Baldwin Addresses Wife Hilaria Baldwin's Dancing With the Stars Elimination
Alec Baldwin and Stephen Baldwin were involved in a terrifying incident.
The 30 Rock star, 67, shared that he and his youngest brother, 59, are safe after he drove a Range Rover head-first into a tree in East Hampton, N.Y.
“This morning, I was in a car accident,” Alec said in an Oct. 13 Instagram video. “I'm fine.”
He said that a garbage truck that was “the size of a whale” cut him off while driving his wife Hilaria Baldwin’s car through an East Hampton neighborhood.
“To avoid hitting him,” Alec continued, “I hit a big fat tree and crushed my wife's car. I crushed my wife's car—I feel bad about that.”
He added, “That's all fine, and I'm fine, and my brother's fine. My wife's car is pretty smashed up. Big tree, big fat tree.”
In addition to sharing his gratitude for the East Hampton Police Department, Alec noted that he would soon be leaving New York to visit Hilaria and their kids Carmen, 11, Rafael, 10, Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 7, Eduardo, 4, María Lucía, 4, and Ilaria, 2.
“I'm going to L.A. to see my family,” he concluded. “Can't wait. Going out to California to gather my family together, spend a few days out there and then come home.”
Alec also alluded to Hilaria’s recent elimination from Dancing With the Stars, noting, “I'm still so proud of my wife, Hilaria. I love you more than anything, and I'm very proud of you.”
For his part, Stephen also spoke out about the car crash, confirming he, too, is OK.
“Stephen is doing fine and is grateful no one was injured,” his rep told E! News in a statement. “He appreciates the concern and he can confirm that he and Alec are both safe and well."
In pictures and footage of the crash obtained by TMZ, Alec and Stephen stood in the rain and spoke with police who responded to the scene. The It’s Complicated actor also made a phone call while standing beside the tree and damaged car, which had its front end damaged in the crash.
It appears that Stephen went to a restaurant following the incident, as he shared a clip to his Instagram Story in the afternoon showing himself ordering a hamburger, fries and drink from All American Hamburger Drive In in Massapequa, N.Y.
In the days leading up to the crash, the Baldwin brothers attended the Hamptons International Film Festival to promote their One Bad Movie podcast series, which Stephen hosts and has featured Alec on multiple episodes.

Though Alec and Stephen have not starred in a movie or TV project together, they rose to prominence in the ‘80s and ‘90s alongside their actor brothers Daniel Baldwin, 65, and Billy Baldwin, 62. (The brothers also grew up with their sisters Elizabeth Baldwin Keuchler, 69, and Jane Baldwin Sasso, 60.)
“We’re still kind of pinching ourselves,” Stephen told Vanity Fair in 2012, referencing the family’s fame. “From my perspective, we’re just four dumb jocks from Long Island.”
Meanwhile, Alec—also dad to daughter Ireland Baldwin, 29, with ex Kim Basinger—has reflected on how his kids are experiencing a similar childhood to his own.
“We were four boys growing up. Two sisters. Hilaria and I have four boys. Two girls,” Alec wrote on Instagram in February 2022, alongside a picture of two of his sons. “The best of times (and the worst of times) were shared with my brothers.”
He concluded, “Brothers. It’s real.”

Hailey Becomes a Bieber
While they were friends for a decade, it was after a rather whirlwind romance that Hailey wed Justin Bieber in a no-frills New York courthouse ceremony on Sept. 13, 2018.
They further sealed the deal with more lavish nuptials in South Carolina on Sept. 30, 2019, allowing dad Stephen to walk the bride down the aisle and sister Alaia and cousin Ireland to serve as a bridesmaids.
While she swapped her maiden name for her similarly famous married name soon after she and Justin legally wed, it wasn't a decision Hailey took lightly.
"It took some getting used to, for sure," she told Bustle in 2019. "It's definitely strange, it takes adjusting."
Growing up a Baldwin, she added, "I'm very proud of my family name. I come from a great family with a history in this industry."
The couple revealed in May 2024 that Hailey was pregnant with their first child together.

Baby Bieber
On Aug. 23, 2024, Justin revealed that son Jack Blues Bieber had arrived.
"WELCOME HOME," the singer captioned a photo of the newborn's squee-inducing tiny foot juxtaposed against one of his mom's immaculately manicured fingers.
Justin's mom, Pattie Mallette, wrote on X, "CONGRATULATIONS @justinbieber & Hailey. I LOVE YOU FOREVER BABY JACK."
Stephen reposted the sentiment, adding, "Amen. Congratulations to you and may God continue to bless our family.”
