As is the case for many celebrities and their children, Alec and Ireland Baldwin have a pretty complicated relationship. As the former model explained on an episode of “Vulnerable Podcast,” she remembers testifying in court as a kid — they were involved in a contentious custody battle at the time. In 2007, Alec Baldwin lost visitation rights when an angry voicemail he left for Ireland was leaked to the press. In the recording, he can be heard calling her a “little pig” and struggling to remember her age, per BuzzFeed.
In 2019, Ireland participated in a memorable Comedy Central roast, joking that she didn’t know her father all that well. “I know him as that guy from like half of my birthday parties,” she told the audience. More recently, Alec left out Ireland in an Instagram tribute to his kids captioned, “Seven reasons to carry on during tough times …” Ireland, the oldest of his eight children, hasn’t made many appearances on his social media in general, although Alec’s seven younger children with Hilaria are regular guest stars. Ireland has pointed out that her dad’s new family is “none of [her] business” (via The Daily Mail).
As Kim Basinger revealed on Red Table Talk she and Alec didn’t always see eye to eye when parenting Ireland, although they all (pretty much) get along these days … That being said, Ireland still hesitates to go to her dad when she’s struggling with anxiety.
