Alec and Hilaria Baldwin Reportedly Struggling with Reality TV Spotlight and Growing Marital Strain

Tough guy Alec Baldwin‘s marriage to Hilaria has become a living hell, with sources saying the once fearsome brute is fed up with being ridiculed as spineless while his daughter-aged wife disses him in public — and he’s ready to call it quits!

Sources say that the 67-year-old 30 Rock alum, notorious for his hair-trigger temper and bullying, is near the end of his rope with his fame-chasing spouse, who at 41 is 26 years younger than his is and making him look like a henpecked wimp!

“Alec is rolling with the punches, trying to smile it off and even making light of the whole henpecked shtick, but deep down he’s at boiling point,” spill a source.

“It’s taking all his acting skills not to show how frustrated he is. Fact is, Hilaria stomps all over him and clearly gets a big kick out of putting him down in public.”

As GLOBE reported, the burly brute was forced to stand by and take it like a mouse when Hilaria, mom of their seven kids, aged 11 to 2, scolded him on the red carpet for the March 11 Planet Hollywood opening party that they were hosting.

The public shaming came as the 6-foot actor was trying to get his two cents in during an interview when his petite 5-foot-3 Boston-born wife snapped, “Oh my God, when I’m talking, you’re not talking. No, whenI’m talking, you’re not talking.”

But even after Alec apologized for interrupting, hellbent Hilaria fumed, “This is why we’ll just have to cut him out of the show.”

Spills a source, “Hilaria’s got him in the palm of her hand and she’s way too headstrong to argue with.”

“This emasculating treatment makes for a miserable vibe behind the scenes — especially when he’s forced to go along with these humiliating antics!”

Sources not that the Boss Baby star was never thrilled about doing the reality show — which is embarrassingly bombing with critics and viewers — feeling it was tacky and would wreck his rep as a quality actor, but was forced into it by Hilaria, who saw it as a stairway to her own stardom.

“He did it because of Hilaria — she’s way more into the spotlight than he is these days,” says the source.

Baldwin especially wanted to avoid the spotlight following his recent acquittal for involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Hayyna Hutchins on the set of his film Rust.

“Even though he eventually got off, it’s a scene that will haunt him for the rest of his days,” adds the insider.
