Hilaria Baldwin Teaches Her Kids About Death At Cemeteries
They say two things are certain in life: death and taxes. And it sounds like Hilaria Baldwin has already started teaching her kids about the facts of life.
For context, Hilaria and Alec Baldwin share seven children: daughters Ilaria, 2, María, 4, and Carmen, 11, along with sons Eduardo, 4, Romeo, 6, Leonardo, 8, and Rafael, 9.
If you follow Hilaria or Alec, or even just go on the internet from time to time, you'll probably know they're suuuuper open when it comes to discussing parenting. And now, Hilaria has shared a surprising tip about how she helps her children get comfortable with the prospect of death.
Appearing on this week's episode of Kate and Oliver Hudson's Sibling Revelry podcast, Hilaria and Oliver got into a conversation about his fear of death, and how it's 'gotten worse' since he had kids. 'It's not even a selfish thing,' he said. 'It's more about my children.'
In response, Hilaria agreed that she feels the same anxieties, but that she's found a way of making sure that death isn't something her children live in fear of.
'I think I bring my kids to cemeteries a lot,' she said. 'Once you become a parent, I think that's how fragile life can be; it comes into my fears all the time. But I really feel like we spend time in cemeteries and everything from the history of it, and just also acknowledging, this is part of life.'
She continued: 'This is part of life. And there's a tremendous amount of peace there as well. And not being afraid, if not of death, but of people who have died, you know? And because I don't want anyone to be afraid of me when I die. So I try to have that kind of connection with them.'
OK, I guess it sounds a little weird... but it's also not the craziest thing I've ever heard? What do you make of this? LMK in the comments.

Alec Baldwin 'Very Different' Since 'Rust' Shooting, Wife Says
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Alec Baldwin is "very different" since the 2021 Rust movie shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, his wife said on a recent podcast. Newsweek reached out to Baldwin's representative via email on Thursday for comment. The Context On October 21, 2021, a prop gun held by Baldwin fired a live round on the Rust film set, killing Hutchins and injuring the movie's director, Joel Souza. Baldwin maintained that he did not pull the trigger, but he and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed were charged with involuntary manslaughter in January 2023. Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months in prison in April 2024. Baldwin's case was dismissed later that year due to the withholding of evidence by prosecutors and police from the defense.

MEGA/GC Images What To Know During Wednesday's episode of Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, Ripa asked Hilaria Baldwin about her husband's post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Alec Baldwin was diagnosed with the mental health condition following the fatal Rust incident. During the premiere episode of the couple's TLC reality show The Baldwins, which premiered in February, Hilaria Baldwin said her husband asked, "'Why couldn't it have been me?'" "Do you suspect that, or do you think that Alec still has PTSD?" Ripa asked. "Do you think he'll always have it?" "He is very different than he used to be," the yoga instructor, 41, said. "I think some of that, regardless of how people have behaved over the past few years, I think that to be in such a tragic situation, that was going to forever change him." Hilaria Baldwin said that his reactions to "loud noises" now "breaks my heart." "But he is, little by little, I think that he's working," she said. "It's hard, but he's working on it, and I think that the children encourage him to work on it." The Baldwins wed in June 2024, and the couple has seven children together: daughters Carmen, María Lucía, and Ilaria, and sons Rafael, Leo, Romeo, and Eduardo. The 30 Rock actor also shares daughter Ireland Baldwin with ex-wife Kim Basinger. "When you see that you have something to live for—and these are seven little things, and we have Ireland, and she has her baby—there's so much beauty and joy, and I think that helps him to try to lead a happier life." What People Are Saying Gutierrez-Reed's lawyer, Jason Bowles, released a statement on her behalf following the shooting: "Hannah would like to extend her deepest and most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Halyna. She was an inspirational woman in film who Hannah looked up to. She also offers her thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery to Joel. Hannah is devastated and completely beside herself over the events that have transpired."
