Hilaria Baldwin Supports Husband Alec Baldwin at Court as Jury Selection Begins in His Rust Trial

Hilaria Baldwin and Alec Baldwin have been married since 2012; they share seven children

Hilaria Baldwin is by her husband Alec Baldwin's side as his involuntary manslaughter trial begins.

Hilaria, 40, was seen arriving alongside Alec, 66, as the actor and his lawyer Alec Spiro entered the First Judicial District Court in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Tuesday, July 9, for jury selection in his criminal trial. The podcaster and soon-to-be reality television star was seen arriving at the courthouse with two of the couple's seven children.

Alec previously appeared in court with his lawyer Spiro on Monday, July 8, for a day of hearings on legal motions related to the involuntary manslaughter trial. The actor's case is related to the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the Western movie Rust. Alec was holding a prop gun when it discharged, additionally injuring director Joel Souza in the high-profile incident.

The 30 Rock star has continually insisted he did not pull the weapon's trigger or know that the gun mistakenly contained live ammunition since the October 2021 incident. He submitted a not guilty plea in January shortly after a grand jury indicted him on the involuntary manslaughter charge and faces up to 18 months in prison if convicted.
