Hilaria joins husband Alec Baldwin at ‘Rust’ shooting trial — where he faces 18 months in prison if convicted
Alec Baldwin’s wife, Hilaria, came out to support her husband at a Santa Fe courthouse Tuesday for the start of his involuntary manslaughter trial in the death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
The couple arrived in separate black SUVs, with the “30 Rock” star seen on video stepping out of the second vehicle with his attorney in tow.
Baldwin, 66, dressed in a dark suit and wearing glasses, hurried to help his wife as she exited the other car with one of the couple’s seven young children and a stroller.
The actor ignored the gallery of reporters in front of him as he briefly talked to his child and grabbed one of his wife’s bags.
Hilaria, wearing a tan pantsuit and large sunglasses, could be seen adjusting the baby’s stroller as she handed the child off to a nanny.
Alec then walked ahead without her, flanked by his legal team as he dodged reporters’ questions about the trial.
Alec Baldwin has denied responsibility for Hutchins’ October 2021 death after he allegedly pointed a gun at her that he didn’t realize was loaded with a live round. Prosecutors accused him of reckless behavior that caused the 42-year-old’s death.
He has pleaded not guilty, but faces up to 18 months in prison if convicted.
Alec and Hilaria’s public appearance together on Tuesday comes after they recently celebrated their 12th anniversary.
Tuesday marks the start of the jury selection process in Santa Fe.
The case, which is expected to last 10 days, will be livestreamed on Court TV following the jury selection, with opening statements set to begin as soon as Wednesday.
The trial comes after Alec and Hilaria announced a new reality TV series coming in 2025 focused on their home life with their seven kids: Carmen, 10, Rafael, 8, Leonardo, 7, Romeo, 6, Eduardo, 3, Maria, 3, and Iliaria, 1.
