Alec Baldwin showed enthusiastic support for his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, during the September 30 episode of Dancing With the Stars. Attending the show in person, Alec was eager to encourage Hilaria’s performance as she competed on the ballroom floor, highlighting his commitment to cheering her on in this high-profile dance competition.
The 67-year-old actor was seen sitting alongside Kris Jenner, who also expressed admiration for Hilaria’s efforts. During the event, Alec asked Kris,
“You know a thing or two about beautiful talented women. How’s my wife doing?”
To which Kris responded,
“She’s getting a 10 from me. All the time!”
She further praised Hilaria by saying,
“Any woman who can be doing this having had 7 kids is an ace in my book.”
Their exchange underscored the warmth and encouragement surrounding Hilaria’s journey on the show.
Hilaria Baldwin, 41, and her professional partner Gleb Savchenko delivered a samba performance in celebration of the episode’s TikTok Night theme. Dancing to
“Shake It to the Max (Fly) [Remix]”
by Moily, Silent Addy, Skillibeng, and Shenseea, the pair earned their first score of eight since starting the season, accumulating a total of 22 points out of 30. This score placed them among the top five couples for the night, reflecting a strong showing amid fierce competition.
While Hilaria and Gleb found success, the night brought disappointment for some, such as Fifth Harmony alum Lauren Jauregui and her partner Brandon Armstrong, who were unexpectedly eliminated from the competition. The intensity of the contest remains a testament to the high level of skill and resilience needed to advance.
Alec’s support is not new, as he and their seven children—Carmen, 11; Rafael, 10; Leonardo, 8; Romeo, 7; Eduardo and María Lucía, both 4; and Ilaria, 2—were present at the show’s premiere on September 16. Hilaria shared with E! News how much their backing means, expressing that she is
“very grateful that my family is here and supporting me.”
She remarked on the challenge of balancing motherhood with her dancing, saying,
“I think being a mom, your job is to support everybody else and often put yourself last. And I love that, I’m there and I’m as hardworking being a mom as I am dancing on the floor.”
Hilaria also conveyed how her family’s presence helps ease her nerves, adding,
“I think that it’s just fun to go out there be like, ‘Oh you guys are supporting me doing this!’ It’s fun and we can all have a good time.”
This combination of love and motivation clearly fuels her determination as she navigates the demanding DWTS stage.
