Sharing a picture of her family, complete with seven children and the birthday boy Alec, who is also under an impending 'involuntary manslaughter' charge, Hilaria wrote, “A photo of our wildness, just as we are.

Sharing a picture of their domestic bliss through an Instagram post, he wrote, "Eleven years ago today, I got engaged to a wonderful human being. She’s under this pile somewhere. 11 years, 7 kids, an ocean of memories later, I love you Hilaria."

On February 19, Hilaria posted a picture of the duo marking the 12th year of their meeting anniversary with the caption, "12 years ago, this night, we met. What a journey we have had been through, to, in, and around and continuing…every emotional place I don’t think either one of us could have ever predicted. But here we are…still standing, surrounded by all of you amazing humans, our tiny babes…and together. In it with you, Alec…I’m here, we are here…never alone 🫶🏼.This photo is probably a yearish after we met??? @emporionyc (both much younger and less🥴)."

Alec Baldwin trial

On October 21, while shooting for his drama 'Rust', the veteran actor accidentally fired a prop gun used for shooting, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. Following the Hutchins family's lawsuit against 'The Departed' actor, he came to an undisclosed agreement with them in October 2022. However, in January 2023, he was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter by Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies. He pleaded not guilty in February. However, as of April 2023, the DA who charged him stepped down from the case, with two attorneys taking the position. The case is still pending, and if he is found guilty, 'The Cooler' actor will have to face up to 18 months of imprisonment. 

'Please don't kill anyone else'

As Alec is celebrating his 65th birthday amidst his family, all is not well with the world as netizens are still venting their anger for the accidental gunfire case. One user commented, "Happy Birthday Alec, prison won't be that bad, or at least you can act like it isn't!" Another user commented, "Happy 65th birthday to Alec Baldwin. Please don't kill anyone else." Taking a close-up screenshot from the Baldwins' posts and previous photos, a social media user commented, "Ladies and gentlemen, Here is what living a lie for nearly 1.5yrs about not pulling the trigger looks like. Alec Baldwin on his 65th birthday where he’s dyed his hair, mustache and eyebrows and looks high af: like he violated judge’s sobriety order, + 3 pix from this past month."

"It's Alec Baldwin's birthday; let's do a shot," punned a user. Another user cheekily commented, "Happy Birthday to actor and lame marksman Alec Baldwin. (4.3.58)". "Wishing an unhappy 65th birthday to the man who shot and killed Halyna Hutchins and shot and injured director Joel Souza. Yes, I'm talking about Alec Baldwin," commented another dissenter. "Happy Birthday, Alec Baldwin! If the vote holds, he'll have a nice birthday present (he may not notice...he's probably more concerned with other things like, oh, I don't know, staying out of jail, I guess)," commented another.
