In a recent episode of his reality show, Alec Baldwin opened up about the negative effects of his 2002 divorce from Kim Basinger, particularly on their daughter, Ireland. Baldwin recalled their lengthy custody battle, which spanned seven years and was characterized by media scrutiny. He expressed regret over how this turmoil affected his relationship with Ireland, describing it as one of his most regrettable experiences. He acknowledged the difficulties of co-parenting and mentioned that, despite past challenges, he and Basinger have since developed a better rapport as co-parents.
"I must say that because my relationship with my daughter Ireland was so negatively impacted by my divorce from her mother and having a very protracted custody battle that the media really were having a party about everything."
"One of my most regrettable things about the whole thing was how it affected Ireland."
"[The custody battle] went on for seven years, of which the financials were probably a year and a half and then everything else was custody, it was insanity and really, really tough."
"During a 'Red Table Talk' episode in 2022, Basinger revealed that she and Alec now get along - though she called him a 'challenge.'"
