Alec Baldwin is brought to tears by wife Hilaria in emotional Father's Day tribute
was brought to tears by his wife Hilaria Baldwin in an emotional Father's Day tribute on Sunday.
While celebrating with his family, the 67-year-old actor got emotional when opening the many gift boxes that his wife and children presented him.
He was among the many A-list stars who took to social media to share how they celebrated the holiday with their loved ones — including Justin Timberlake, Gigi Hadid and Sofia Richie Grainge.
Baldwin and his wife shared a joint Instagram post while Hilaria wrote in the caption: 'Happy father's day to this daddy @alecbaldwininsta and to all the other papas out there! or happy birthday as the baby says. Sending lots of love to all of you! #fathersday.'
The Rust star, who shares seven children with his wife Hilaria, was seen laughing as his youngest child, daughter Hilaria, hilariously wished him a 'Happy birthday, daddy' as he opened up a gift to reveal it was a box of silverware.
Though the video started out humorously, at the end, the dad-of-eight was visibly moved and got emotional by the end of the clip.
He cracked up when Hilaria brought over a lit candle and started singing 'Happy Birthday' with their kids — even though he already celebrated turning 67 this year on April 3.
When Hilaria told the kids to 'say happy Father's Day' to him and two of their daughters sitting in his lap echoed the sentiment, he hugged them closer and got emotional.
'Thank you, Mother, for my silverware,' he told Hilaria at the end of the video.
The couple — who got married in 2012 and recently started a family reality show together — share daughters Carmen, 11, Maria, four, Ilaria, two, and sons Rafael, nine, Leonardo, eight, Romeo, six, Eduardo, four.
He is also father to daughter Ireland, 29, whom he shares with his ex-wife Kim Basinger.
On the same day, Baldwin also shared a post as a tribute to his late father Alexander Rae Baldwin II, who passed away at the age of 55 in 1983 when the actor was just 25 years old.
He shared a throwback photo of his dad at work, talking passionately mid-sentence with his hand in the air when the image was captured.
'Happy Father's Day to my father...,' he wrote in his caption.

Justin Timberlake also gave a shout out to both of the father figures in his life — dad Charles Randall Timberlake and stepdad Paul Harless — in a heartwarming tribute he shared on Father's Day.
In an epic throwback, the 44-year-old pop star Instastoried a snap of himself decked out in Star Search-era Western wear while posing with the Baptist church choir director, who divorced his mother Janet Harless in 1985.
One year later, Janet wed Paul, so Timberlake made sure to post a snap of his stepdad with his 10-year-old son Silas in the tribute.
Timberlake shared a third snap of one of his dads playing golf with what appeared to be his four-year-old son Phineas.
The 10-time Grammy winner also posted a rare Instagram slideshow of himself embracing little Silas and Phineas.
'There's no bigger reward or responsibility that I have ever felt in my life above being a father. To teach and to learn at the same time… I feel beyond blessed,' Timberlake — who boasts 193.8M social media followers — gushed on Sunday.
'I see my two dads, my grandfathers, [and] my uncles more and more clearly every year that I get to experience this life with them. And I see myself more and more clearly in every moment I have with my sons, watching who they continue to become.
'You can't put a price tag on that type of generational wealth! Here's to all the Dads out there! Cheers! Happy Father's Day!'
Timberlake's wife of 12 years - Jessica Biel - reposted his slideshow with the caption: 'Happy Father's Day to the best dad out there. We love you so much!'
The 43-year-old Better Sister actress also Instastoried a snap of herself with the No Angels singer and their son Phineas captioned: 'Celebrating you today and every day!'
Last month, Jessica said she planned on 'taking the kids' so he 'can just go have a great' Father's Day and, considering Justin was in Denmark on Saturday, he's definitely in Europe.
'Justin loves to golf, so I hope he gets to golf that day,' Biel told E! News.
'And of course it's fun to spend time with your kids, but from everything I know about Mother's Day where you just really need a break and want a solo break, I will take the kids.'
Timberlake - who gets 44.5M monthly listeners on Spotify - is next scheduled to bring his $205.2M-grossing, 122-date The Forget Tomorrow World Tour to Poland's PGE Narodowy in Warsaw this Tuesday.
Also celebrating Father's Day was Gigi Hadid, who did not mention her babydaddy Zayn Malik but she Instastoried a childhood throwback snap with her 'baba' Mohamed Hadid.
The 30-year-old IMG Model also posted snaps of her Palestinian grandfather Anwar Hadid, who died in 1989, as well as her Dutch 'opa' Gerard van den Herik, who died in a car accident when her mother Yolanda was only seven.
Justin gushed on Sunday: 'There's no bigger reward or responsibility that I have ever felt in my life above being a father. To teach and to learn at the same time… I feel beyond blessed. I see my two dads, my grandfathers, [and] my uncles more and more clearly every year that I get to experience this life with them'
Emma Heming Willis posted a snap of her 11-year-old daughter Evelyn embracing her husband Bruce Willis, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2023.
'Happy Father's Day to all the dads living with disability or disease, showing up in the ways they can and to the children who show up for them,' the 46-year-old Make Time podcaster wrote on Sunday.
'What Bruce teaches our girls goes far beyond words. Resilience, unconditional love, and the quiet strength in simply being present. This photo says so much. Love deepens. It adapts. It stays, even when everything else changes.
'But to be fair to myself, these symbolic days stir up a lot. I'm profoundly sad today. I wish, with every cell in my body, that things could be different for him and lighter for our family.'
The retired 70-year-old and Emma - who are also proud parents of 13-year-old daughter Mabel - began dating in 2008 and they celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary on March 27.
Bruce welcomed three adult daughters - Rumer, 36; Scout, 33; and Tallulah, 31 - during his 11-year marriage to Oscar nominee Demi Moore, which ended in 2000.
On September 9, Maria Shriver's imprint, The Open Field will publish Heming's 'deeply personal' literary debut, The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope and Yourself on the Caregiving Path.

'You taught me to dream boldly, work relentlessly, and never give up.'
Ivanka (born Ivana) continued: 'To my husband @jaredckushner — watching you father our children with patience, strength, wisdom and so much heart fills me with endless gratitude. You are their rock, their compass, and their greatest gift.'

'Seeing you with her is the most beautiful thing,' Lily gushed.
'You certainly were born to be a dad and you continue to amaze me every single day with the countless ways you protect and nurture her, make her laugh, and shower her with adoration. Thank you for taking the best care of our little T and of course big brother @redforddog. What would we do without you? We love you so so SO much.'
Josh Brolin shared an Instagram slideshow featuring his famous father James Brolin as well as all four of his children along with a heartfelt poem.
'What is being a father other than being given the gift and horror of reveal and example? At some point with parenting you realize that who you are is not them and that father that fretted or celebrated no longer defines you,' the 57-year-old Brothers actor wrote.
'But a part of who we are goes into both. Even a passing thought of my four children moves me. Almost forty years of parenting and the realization that it's not the answer that counts but the being there as a symbol of safety. My father, as I spent so much time looking upwards at him (he's still taller than me) represents what? A great force of nature and that man I could always rely on.'

'My dad has always been my biggest supporter, my best friend, and my number one teacher not just in sports but in life. The values he passed on to our family - hard work, integrity, compassion, and unconditional love, shaped me in every way.
'Each day I try to live up to the example he set: to be present and to make sure my kids know how much I love and care about them. I'm grateful for every moment and it's a pleasure watching these three beautiful angels grow up!'

Naomi Watts and daughter Kai Schreiber pose up a storm at Armani Beauty event after model teen came out as transgender
Naomi Watts and her daughter Kai Schreiber posed up a storm as they attended a Armani Beauty celebrating Luminous Silk Foundation and Concealer. The King Kong actress, 56, and her model daughter, 16, who she shares with actor Liev Schreiber, were among the stars at Wednesday's event, held at Twenty Three Grand in New York City. Naomi looked effortlessly chic as she donned a navy sparkly smock dress, featuring a boat neckline and draping fabric with stilettos. She was joined by her daughter Kai, who had her modelling debut at Paris Fashion Week for Valentino earlier this year. For the occasion, Kai wore a black high-neck sweater covered in multicoloured polka dots with a matching skirt. Naomi was seen helping her daughter with her make-up in sweet snaps from the event. Kai, who is transgender, recently spoke in-depth about how she had struggled 'with gender identity from a young age' and 'always wanted to grow up and be a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman, like Marilyn ' Monroe. She told Interview Magazine she has studied how people in the transgender community navigated stormy waters in the past. The daughter of the Ray Donovan star, 57, and two-time Oscar nominee, 56, named figures she found inspirational 'as a young trans girl' navigating life through turbulent times for the community. 'I'm always going to look up to the older generation of transgender people, especially in fashion,' Kai told the magazine. 'People like Alex Consani, Hunter Schafer, Hari Nef, Dara, Richie Shazam, Colin Jones, and so many more,' Kai said. 'It's so great that there's a strong community of us in the fashion world; it's really a doll takeover.' The nepo baby said that she had a breakthrough earlier this year when working for the fashion house Valentino. 'That job made me realise, 'OK, this is what I want to do,' Kai said. ' I want to be a supermodel. Period.' Kai opened up to the publication about what she's been doing in terms of honing her craft as a regular presence on the catwalk. Naomi looked effortlessly chic as she donned a navy sparkly smock dress, featuring a boat neckline and draping fabric with stilettos 'I've been practising my walks in the kitchen for years; my mom can show you all the videos I forced her to film,' Kai said. Kai also opened up about her fashion preferences in the wide-ranging chat with the publication - joking she's 'basic, but in a chic way.' Kai said of her couture choices: ' I love my low-rise jeans and black cardigan. That's my go-to outfit. I love when people have their own personal style. 'If you're presenting yourself in a unique, cool way, people are immediately drawn in and want to know more. If every person was walking around in the same outfit, fashion wouldn't be a thing.' Kai said that 'the world [is] more fun' with fashion in the mix. She took to Instagram to thank those involved with the feature as she said: 'I can't put into words how excited & grateful I am for this project. Thank you to the Interview team for the opportunity, and thank you Dara & everyone for making it such a fun and comfortable experience for me on set.' Naomi said on her Instagram that Kai was 'continuing to kill it' and that she was 'proud' of her. Kai has received public support from both of her famed folks, as Liev told Variety last month about what he felt was the most impactful moment as the parent of a trans child. 'Kai was always who Kai is,' The Manchurian Candidate actor said. 'But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns. 'To be honest with you, it didn't feel like that big of a deal to me only because Kai had been so feminine for so long.' The Perfect Couple star continued: 'Kai is such a fighter. It's important that she goes, "Hey, I am trans," and, "Look at me."'

Was this divorced American diva the original Meghan Markle? The REAL story of the most divisive person to ever marry into the royal family...
An American divorcee. A dazzling wardrobe. A royal romance that ends in exile. Denied the use of her HRH title, accused of corrupting a prince, cast as a threat to the very survival of the British monarchy and relentlessly vilified by the press. No, not Meghan Markle - but you'd be forgiven for thinking so.

My cultural awakening: I watched Sleepless in Seattle and realised I had to cancel my wedding
When my boyfriend proposed, I said yes – not because I was madly in love with him, but because it seemed like the correct thing to do. We'd been together for eight years and all of our friends were getting engaged; my life felt like a constant cycle of hen nights. I knew something was wrong but I suppressed it. Sometimes I'd get these flashes of anxiety. I'd worry about the fact that I no longer felt excited when my boyfriend walked into a room, or that we didn't have sex any more – but I was 28, which at that point felt ancient to me, and I was frightened of being alone. I told myself I was experiencing nothing more than a classic case of pre-wedding jitters. I threw myself into buying the big white dress and designing the invitations. I planned to stash a bottle of gin in the church, so I could have a shot to calm my nerves before I walked down the aisle. About three months before the wedding, I was home alone one evening and decided to watch Sleepless in Seattle. It was my father's favourite film – he loved the classic jazz soundtrack and Nora Ephron's dialogue. It had been on in the background a lot during my childhood and teenage years, so I was expecting it to be a comfort watch; something to almost lull me to sleep. I'd remembered the film as being about a man (Tom Hanks) and his cute son grieving the death of his wife. But that night I interpreted the film completely differently. I was sucked into the perspective of Meg Ryan's character, Annie, who is engaged to a perfectly decent but slightly boring man – and deciding whether or not to call it off. I'd always seen Sleepless in Seattle as being about bereavement, but that night on my sofa, it felt like a film about one woman's decision whether to get married, and play it safe, or give it all up and take a leap. There's a scene towards the beginning where Annie is trying on a wedding dress at her family home. Her mother is talking about the 'magic' she felt when she first laid eyes on her own husband, and Annie's face just goes completely blank. You can tell she doesn't feel anything close to 'magic' with Walter, her fiance. Watching that scene, I felt the familiar squirm of panic, but I squashed it down. I did love my boyfriend, in a way. We trusted each other and were good friends and he cared for me. I told myself: I'm not going to be the person who has the magic, and I'm OK with that. I'm going to be the person who has a sensible, kind husband, and children, and a life that is beautifully mapped out. But as the film went on I began to feel this overwhelming sadness. My wedding venue was booked, the deposit was paid – but watching Annie agonise over whether or not to leave Walter, I began to realise that the way I was feeling about my own wedding couldn't be ignored. Right at the end, Annie tells Walter about her doubts, and he has a line that illuminated everything for me: 'I don't want to be someone that anyone settles for. Marriage is hard enough without bringing such low expectations into it, isn't it?' I realised, listening to that, how selfish I was being. My boyfriend was good and generous. He didn't deserve to be 'settled' for. He didn't deserve to have a wife who had to get drunk to force herself down the aisle. That night when he came home, I said I wanted to postpone the wedding. I wasn't brave enough to outright ask to call it off, but he told me that if I didn't want to marry him now, he didn't want to be with me. I like to think perhaps he was having doubts too, but wasn't able to voice them – I hope that's true. I emailed all of our guests and told them that the wedding was cancelled, and people were generally supportive. I remember being so grateful that I didn't have to 'face' anyone. I could call the whole thing off while hiding behind a screen. I told my father that Sleepless in Seattle had inspired me to make the decision, but I kept that part a secret from everyone else in my life. He understood, but I suspected other people would think I'd gone mad. I spent about 11 years being single after the breakup, so I definitely had to face my fear of being alone. Often it was hard, feeling like a spare part at my friends' parties, but as I got older, being 'coupled up' and safe lost some of its allure. I saw the cracks in the marriages around me, and I realised coupledom doesn't actually insulate you from loneliness. I am married now, but I don't completely buy into the idea that there has to be 'magic' in a romantic partnership. I don't believe in the Disneyland, mind-altering, life-completing version of romance – that part of Sleepless in Seattle just doesn't ring true to me. But I still believe you should never settle for anyone. Sign up to Inside Saturday The only way to get a look behind the scenes of the Saturday magazine.
