00:00What is this? It's cheese. I'm not kidding. There's cheese on the car.
00:06I worry about Alec because we were living with so much stress for such a long time that his OCD has gotten even worse.
00:16Calming cleans me, but cleaning calms me.
00:20You know, the past few years have been very, you know, hard.
00:23Opportunities for jobs have been so few and far between. A lot of people cut my throat.
00:27A lot of people cut my throat in my business. I mean, they were like, hey, gone.
00:32People say to me, oh, God, now you can go back to your life and go, go back to my life.
00:38I don't want to go back to my life. I want a different life now.
00:42I think it's human nature to retreat and run and hide because what you're feeling inside is so awful.
00:49We don't process something and we go...
00:53This is how I'm going to process it. This is how.
00:56You can't just stuff everything down.
00:57I am someone that has the direct result of what I've been going through lately.
01:01You don't go, Simon Says, back to normal. It takes a long time. It takes longer than I imagined.
01:06What are you doing?
01:08Just ignore him. He's not worth it. Don't let him ruin this beautiful day.
01:13I've had my skirmishes with paparazzi and I've had my, you know, problems.
01:19My relationship with my daughter, Ireland, was so negatively impacted by my divorce from her mother.
01:25The media really were having a party. Just insanity. And really, really tough.
01:31One of my most regrettable things about the whole thing was how it affected Ireland.
01:36Oh, hello.
01:46They want to come in, wash their hands and face, get a snack, get a drink, and go on the hot tub.
01:50Excellent.
01:51Hello, tiny friend with no shoes.
01:53They won't put him in.
01:55One.
01:57One.
01:58One, two, three, four!
02:00Aleg and I are rarely apart.
02:02Where you going, budcrack?
02:03But also, we are very rarely alone, especially when you have seven kids.
02:13Daddy make me sad.
02:14Why can you hug? Tell me.
02:16He make me sad.
02:17Why does he make you so sad?
02:18What happened?
02:20What happened?
02:22What happened?
02:24Um, um, I don't like him.
02:26Why?
02:27Because he's being Nilo.
02:32He's being Nilo.
02:34He's being Nilo?
02:35Yeah.
02:35Who's Nilo?
02:36Nilo.
02:39She says she's mad at you because you're being Nilo.
02:42What is Nilo?
02:43I don't know.
02:43Nilo is...
02:44What is Nilo?
02:45You said, Daddy, you're Nilo.
02:49She's mad because she didn't want to sit in the back.
02:52I said, don't sit in the back.
02:53We had an extra person.
02:54We had no seats.
02:55We had no seat for...
02:56Uh-huh.
02:57You said you had to sit in the back?
02:59What's your favorite thing about Daddy?
03:01Um, poo-poo.
03:04Poo-poo work.
03:07How do we deal with a meltdown?
03:09Please, answer your question.
03:11You don't take it personally.
03:12Don't take a meltdown personally.
03:14They're going to yell.
03:14They're going to yell sometimes.
03:15Oh, my God, we had seven kids.
03:17Surprise!
03:17They're going to yell.
03:18Get over it.
03:19Well, I've learned, you know, from myself and other people.
03:22I know that children melting down is better than the opposite.
03:27Where the kid keeps everything inside and is in the corner and is just grinding his teeth
03:33or her teeth and just really, really far away.
03:35I'd rather have them screaming at me for an hour, a couple times a week, maybe.
03:40Daddy!
03:41Daddy!
03:41Daddy!
03:41Daddy!
03:42Daddy!
03:42Daddy!
03:43Daddy!
03:43Daddy!
03:43Daddy!
03:44Daddy!
03:44Daddy!
03:45Daddy!
03:45When we're home, we have lollipops!
03:49Or less.
03:50Maybe less.
03:51You call me Nilo?
03:53You know what I say to you?
03:55I say, Nilo?
03:57Why are you mad at him?
03:58Over there and bite him.
04:11What are you cooking, Hilaria?
04:13I don't really know yet.
04:14I'm just going to make things.
04:16There's some peppers in there.
04:17There are peppers.
04:18I'm going to make some stoshido peppers.
04:19We do.
04:20We have a whole beautiful garden that I just went to and got all this stuff from.
04:23You and Brendan, like, fresh vegetables out of the garden?
04:26I don't like picking the stuff, but I like eating it.
04:29I love having a full house.
04:32I always grew up with a very big full house.
04:35I think it's one of the reasons I had so many kids.
04:37And what I love even more is when the house is even fuller.
04:41And so two of our friends are coming to visit us.
04:44I want to prove that I actually have friends that are adult men who have careers and are intelligent people.
04:49It's not all just, you know, scraping gum off my rug all day long.
04:53When you go to therapy, it's about self-awareness.
04:57It's about release.
04:58It's about moving through things.
04:59So when I see him with his friends, I think that this is going to be a big part of our healing journey
05:06is to grow and walk forward with the people who stood with us the entire time.
05:14And I'm just so grateful to them.
05:16I was like, oh, that's nice.
05:17Alec got me a robe.
05:18He gave me a bathrobe for Christmas.
05:20Is it in your apartment or house?
05:21Did it have his monogram on it?
05:22Is it in your house?
05:22No, you didn't leave it in the other house.
05:23But I look very regal in it.
05:26You can't not look regal in a robe, though.
05:28It's nice to watch him, chat with them, connect with them.
05:33I always hear funny and interesting stories.
05:36The story that I think is kind of amazing, what we were doing before you met her.
05:41Wait, are you talking about when we're meeting?
05:43Do you remember that night?
05:44Of course I do.
05:45That's a very vivid night.
05:47When I met my wife, oh, my God.
05:50Oh, my God.
05:51It was just magical.
05:56I met your mother in a restaurant in New York City.
05:58She was with two friends of hers.
05:59I was with my friend Brandon.
06:00We're at this place with my two girlfriends, and we're drinking a glass of wine.
06:07And my friend, she hit me.
06:10She, like, whacked me.
06:11She said, Gloria, Alec Baldwin is looking at you.
06:14Did you even know who Alec Baldwin was?
06:16I knew who he was because I had seen Working Girl a few times, because Yaya really liked
06:20Working Girl.
06:21So I leaned over, and he was looking at me, and I winked at him, because that's, like,
06:26the cringiest thing that you could possibly do.
06:29But you know what?
06:29I was, like, at least one glass of wine in.
06:32And when I was leaving, I had to walk right by him.
06:35And he took my hand, and he said, who are you?
06:38I must know you.
06:39And I was like, okay, well, at least now he's being cringy, too, because that's, like,
06:42a really bad line.
06:43Worked like magic.
06:44Look at it.
06:45Look at us now.
06:46And then you said, where are you from?
06:47And I said, I'm from Boston.
06:48And you're like, no, you're not.
06:49And I was like, actually, I am.
06:51And then that was, like, an omen of what was to come.
06:56I mean, it's these chance meetings, these chance moments that everybody has in their
07:04life.
07:04They're pretty fascinating.
07:10Yeah, one chance encounter at a bar, and now...
07:13And now seven kids.
07:14I liked her on site.
07:16Obviously, our age difference is there.
07:22I'm always insecure.
07:23Even when I went to have dinner with him, I felt like it was a big deal for somebody to
07:27bring me out to dinner.
07:28I mean, I was in the land of, like, you split the check, and it was a big deal that he, you
07:34know, paid for dinner.
07:35You know, I didn't take that lightly.
07:37And then he just texted back, what do you think about dating somebody who's 26 years
07:40older than you?
07:40And I was like, oh.
07:42She did date people who were age-appropriate for her.
07:44When I met her, she was very young.
07:45So they're very young.
07:46And I'd meet them, and I was like, you know, okay, I get it.
07:49You know, they're very handsome and very super fit guys, and they're about as interesting
07:52as watching, you know, the grass grow.
07:56It's one of the things I really appreciate about him, that he was very, like, into consent,
08:00very into, like, he asked to kiss me for the first time, because he kept on, like, making
08:05plans about our future, and I was like...
08:07I want to marry you and have seven children.
08:09May I kiss you?
08:10But I wanted to have my kids, and I wanted them to look good, and that's why.
08:17What if a baby were the good-looking guy?
08:19I wanted to have a baby with a good-looking guy.
08:20You could have been like anybody.
08:21You were just the first good-looking guy that walked up to me.
08:23So I was like, okay, this could be you.
08:24I'm the first good-looking guy.
08:25I'm the first good guy.
08:29Hey, Laudia, have you dated an actor before?
08:32No.
08:33Well, I mean, I wouldn't date an actor when he was an actor.
08:39I dated an actor who then got to be on Broadway, and we went to go see him naked.
08:45I've seen one of the loves of her life naked.
08:48Not the love of my life.
08:49He was one of the loves of her life.
08:50He was a very important boyfriend of hers, and we went to go see him on Broadway, and he
08:53was naked.
08:54And he had his whole, as our British friends, he had his bits out.
08:58We went to go see Take Me Out, the musical that our dear friend Scott Ellis directed, and
09:03all these baseball players were in the locker room, and they were all turned around naked
09:06with their dongs hanging out.
09:07And I'm literally, and he's there, her boyfriend, and I recognize him.
09:10I met him before.
09:11And when he turns around with his personality hanging, I'm like, oh, oh, oh, okay.
09:17He had like a clarinet hanging from his pants.
09:20The guy literally turns around, and we were all like, ah, ah, whoa.
09:28I hope that you remember this more than I do.
09:30And when you meet him backstage, we go out into the lobby.
09:33We meet him all.
09:33And her boyfriend comes, and I'm like, hey, how you doing?
09:35And I was like, I'm going to stay over here.
09:38And you can't pay attention to a word he's saying.
09:41He's standing right here talking to me.
09:42I'm sitting there looking at him going, and he's looking at me going, yeah, you know,
09:46the show, and this and that.
09:47And I'm like, you have like a baseball bat that you stuff into your pants every day.
09:52How does that work for you?
09:54Let's move on from that subject.
09:56It wasn't on my list of things.
10:00I felt it had to be told.
10:01It had to be told.
10:08Summer is so fun, and back to school always comes in like full force, and you can't even,
10:22you know, you're there enjoying yourself, and you're like, oh, my God, they are starting
10:25school soon.
10:26Even though school is weeks away, we have to go into the city, and we have to get some
10:30stuff done.
10:33Wait, Mom.
10:34Can we get ice cream?
10:36No.
10:37Guys, we're going to the dentist.
10:38We can't have sugar before the dentist.
10:40Living in the city with the kids is challenging.
10:42Getting them around.
10:43I could talk to you about the traffic and this and that.
10:45It's not easy.
10:46It's expensive.
10:47But my kids, I mean, I always look at my kids' birth certificates, and it says, born in
10:54Manhattan.
10:54You know, all my kids are born in New York.
10:57They are New Yorkers.
10:58Except for Ireland.
10:59Right.
11:00I'm not saying, oh, she's born in L.A., which is pretty much the same.
11:03But they love New York.
11:03The kids love New York.
11:05They love it.
11:05Now your one-year-old knows it.
11:13Literally, you guys.
11:14Carmen, you didn't know swears for so long.
11:16I learned them when I was six.
11:18Okay.
11:19Okay.
11:19You know what we...
11:20No.
11:20We're going to eat them after the dentist.
11:21That's just the F word that I...
11:23Well, I knew ass.
11:24No, guys.
11:24Stop thinking about all the bad words.
11:26She will repeat everything.
11:27Stop.
11:28The amazing thing about babies is they don't repeat necessarily what you want them to.
11:31No, Lulu.
11:34No.
11:35That was the baby, right?
11:36No, she hit him.
11:39Getting all the things that need to be done before school starts is hard.
11:46It's hard.
11:47Everybody, every parent knows that.
11:48Guys, other way.
11:49With seven kids, I always have to be very organized.
11:53With dentists, I just bring them all in at one time.
12:04Hello.
12:05Hi.
12:06Hello.
12:06Welcome.
12:07All right.
12:08Hello.
12:09Good morning.
12:10It's Balloon Tuesday.
12:12Oh, yeah.
12:12I love Balloon Tuesday.
12:13It's the best day.
12:16It's interesting.
12:17There's always a balloon guy at the dentist.
12:19It makes dentists so much better.
12:23So is he a good brother?
12:24Does he help you with your homework?
12:26No.
12:27Are you his lawyer?
12:28Kind of.
12:29My dentist now, there's no balloons.
12:31I go there, I don't get to have a balloon or any kind of prices.
12:34I go there and then get a teeth cleaning.
12:36Hi, everyone.
12:37Hi.
12:37I'm going to take Eduardo first, if that's okay.
12:41Can I go second, please?
12:42No, I'll be first.
12:43I will take whoever wants to go first.
12:45Put it that way.
12:46I never have this problem.
12:48Bringing seven kids in to a dentist, it's going to be crazy.
12:53Unlike a regular soccer ball, you keep it in the air.
12:56Wait.
12:57That's so cool.
12:58But fortunately, I have enough children that there's typically no other children in the entire office
13:03because we're occupying all the chairs that they have there.
13:06So we're going to be creative.
13:08I know, I'm not much.
13:10Taking seven kids to the dentist is exactly like it sounds.
13:14It's awful.
13:18Oh, my goodness.
13:19Let's take a second.
13:21We can't have this.
13:22I'm going to try to calm my muscles and take deep breaths because I know I'm going to need
13:27my strength for this.
13:28It's going to be so fast, do we promise?
13:30So fast.
13:31One, two, three.
13:33I know.
13:34I turn off sometimes.
13:36I'll just like, my brain just like turns off a little bit.
13:39And so there's just like pure chaos and everybody's yelling and I'm just like blinking sometimes.
13:43I know.
13:44I know.
13:44I know.
13:44I know.
13:45The kids are coming in.
13:46I know.
13:47She's miserable.
13:47All righty, Senor Leo, if anything hurts you're going to let me know right away.
13:57I'm going to hop right in.
14:00Good talk.
14:01BRB.
14:02Going to a dentist with seven kids is a lot, but I enjoy this chaos so much that I don't
14:14want to be mad at it while it's happening, and it's just kind of like, all right, go,
14:19go.
14:20Who's next?
14:21Here, look at this.
14:24Look what it is.
14:25You see?
14:26Can you see yourself in it?
14:27It's just a seat inside.
14:29Mommy will help me.
14:31Mommy's going to help.
14:32All right.
14:33We have to open so big so I can see.
14:35The dentist has lots of toys, so the kids think it's fun, way more fun than when I was younger
14:39and going to the dentist.
14:40I mean, why couldn't these kinds of dentists exist when we were little?
14:43Three, three, one, two, one.
14:45How's brushing going?
14:47Are you brushing twice a day?
14:48Morning and night?
14:49I don't know.
14:50Because I have yellow, very yellow teeth.
14:53You do not.
14:54Ralph went through his days like he'd not brush his teeth.
14:58So now what I do is I scrub his teeth like once a week.
15:01I do the high smile like fluoride treatments with like the charcoal purple thing.
15:07He still has yellow teeth.
15:08It's really bad.
15:10They look great.
15:11They look beautiful.
15:12You see that little white stuff there?
15:17Uh-huh.
15:18That's fine.
15:19Exactly.
15:20So when you brush, I want you to stay there.
15:23Zzzz.
15:24Go around.
15:25Don't go too fast.
15:26Okay?
15:27Take your time.
15:28You deserve two minutes.
15:29You deserve more than two minutes.
15:30Okay?
15:31Beautiful.
15:32Forget to tell them that you lost your teeth.
15:34Mama.
15:35They haven't seen you since you started losing teeth.
15:38It's really exciting.
15:39I never saw her.
15:40You literally have been going to her since you were a baby.
15:43I have pictures.
15:44I'll show you.
15:45You've literally only gone to the dentist here your entire life.
15:48Get them nice and clean.
15:49So then that way we can get rid of the...
15:51What did we learn today, Carmen?
15:52Plaque.
15:53And plaque causes what?
15:55Ginger virus.
15:56Ginger virus.
15:57Yes.
15:58I learned that Carmen is a dumb
16:00No, those are not.
16:01That's Leo.
16:02Carmen was the only child for a little over a year.
16:05Then she had four brothers in a row.
16:07And that had an effect on her.
16:09Like, I love them.
16:11But couldn't they just be my cousins?
16:14Couldn't they just live somewhere else?
16:16No, could they just be my cousins?
16:17Actually, no.
16:18Lulu and the baby would stay.
16:20And that's it.
16:21All the boys, I'll ship them off to Canada.
16:27Why Canada, Carmen?
16:28Why?
16:29That intrigues me.
16:30Why Canada?
16:31I don't know.
16:32Like some snowy outpost where there's no TV or radio.
16:34No, Canada or Mexico.
16:35Whichever is from.
16:36Mexico.
16:37Mexico, probably, because it's further from New York.
16:39Can we get some lollipops, please?
16:42You guys say thank you so much.
16:44And when they're...
16:45Next year, we'll talk about X-rays for a day.
16:47Okay.
16:51What do you think Alec is doing back in the Hamptons?
16:53Alec is probably organizing back at home.
16:55He's shifting things from one thing to the other.
17:01Always be cleaning.
17:02Always be cleaning.
17:03Always be cleaning.
17:04Oh, God.
17:05So, Alec, when we went to the city, Alec stayed here to get some of the projects that he had wanted to do done.
17:16Part of that is his OCD and how he deals with his PTSD.
17:21This room, this is a disaster.
17:26This is really, really weird.
17:28I'm having this carpet cleaned on Friday, by the way.
17:30Are you?
17:31Oh, I can't wait.
17:32Are you so excited?
17:33Oh, I'm...
17:34I was in tears a moment ago.
17:35I tried to clean myself up and get myself ready for you.
17:38I was crying up in the bathroom.
17:39Over the rugs?
17:40Yeah.
17:41Yeah.
17:42I don't enjoy doing this, I must say.
17:58Hello?
17:59Hello!
18:00I was just looking at all the park strollers.
18:03We call it the Stroller Museum.
18:05I love Caroline Ray as much as anybody I've ever met in this business that became my friend.
18:10She never stops making me laugh.
18:12She's got contemporary material that's funny and she's got old, corny, old-school jokes that she tells.
18:18And we don't get to spend a lot of time with her because she's in Los Angeles around the road all the time.
18:22When I did Match Game, I said Caroline Ray has to be in as many shows as possible.
18:26Yes.
18:27And she was someone who sat there who not only did I know I could rely on her,
18:30and I could rely on her for something consistent and not nasty.
18:34Never ugly.
18:35She's so funny.
18:37I love her to the ends of the earth.
18:39Your floors are so shiny.
18:41Floors are so shiny!
18:43You're so skinny!
18:44She was my friend through the trial.
18:47Didn't turn her back on me like a lot of other people did.
18:49I don't need anybody to take on an ad in the Hollywood Reporter and support me or go online,
18:53but she would call me and text me regularly.
18:56Are you okay?
18:57I'm thinking about you.
18:58Me too.
18:59She was so good to me.
19:00This is so great.
19:01We were going to put wine cabinets in here in a refrigerator.
19:03We were going to call this the wine room.
19:05Literally.
19:06Why?
19:07How many children do you have?
19:08That's how insane we were.
19:09We were having all these children.
19:10We were like, well of course we have to have a wine room.
19:12And we had to add an H to it.
19:14The wine room.
19:16I've known Alec since I think 1997.
19:19We really bonded in like, a couple of years later we sat next to each other at the USO.
19:24Trying to figure out when I met you.
19:25So my sister will probably kill me but.
19:27We were going to the Sex and the City premiere in like, when was that show to start?
19:3296, 97?
19:33I remember that.
19:34And my sister said the only person I want to meet is Alec Baldwin.
19:37She'll kill me for telling us.
19:39Anyway, so we go to that premiere and you come up to me and you're like, and we were
19:43like this, gobsmacked.
19:44We were like, ah, ah, ah, ah.
19:46And then you went like this.
19:48You go, hi, I'm Alec.
19:50And we were both, all of us went, ah, and you went, Baldwin.
19:53Like we needed to know that.
19:56Caroline and Alec together is magic.
19:59No.
20:00Magic.
20:01No.
20:02I'll never be as funny as her.
20:03No, you know what, you won't be as funny as her.
20:04But, but, she is very funny and you're funny with her.
20:09Did you have like The Bachelor?
20:11Is that how you decided who your camera men were?
20:13Well, my wife.
20:14Only handsome men will be photographing her.
20:16We have one.
20:17I want one with a mustache.
20:19I want one that looks like Tom Selleck or a porn star.
20:22I want one that looks like a French painter over here.
20:25Then I want one who could easily play professional soccer.
20:28Describe Alec.
20:29Um, hilarious, artistic genius.
20:33I won't tell the joke.
20:34I'll just tell the punchline, which is all that matters is the gag.
20:37You don't really care about the joke.
20:38So you sit there and say, mm.
20:39Then the bear taps the hunter on the shoulder and says,
20:41you're not really here to hunt bear, are you?
20:46Curt, I love that.
20:47Curt, thank you.
20:50Well read, funny, kind, devoted.
20:53Bossy, very bossy.
20:56Isn't it great?
20:57I love that.
20:58You got to do it better than that.
20:59Come on, you got to, you have to really, really pop it.
21:01You have to do a bit better than that, Caroline.
21:04He has a reputation of being like a hothead,
21:06and he's actually a total softy, sensitive human being
21:08who's like anally organized and like lining up children's shoes
21:12so that they match.
21:14He's just like father first, and he just calls it like he sees it.
21:17All right, hold on.
21:18I have to do one.
21:19I decided that I want to have a threesome.
21:21I don't care if it's two men or two women.
21:23Two women, I just want someone to hold my neck back.
21:26That you're right?
21:28What?
21:33I was still in town with the kids,
21:35and Alec's daughter, Ireland, happened to be in town
21:39with her husband, Andre, and their daughter, Holland.
21:43Ireland is Alec's only child from his first marriage
21:46to Kim Basinger.
21:47She grew up in LA but moved to Oregon a few years ago
21:50and started a family.
21:53I couldn't believe that they were the same height,
21:56her and Ilaria.
21:57I know.
21:58It's totally true.
21:59It's so funny.
22:00It's totally true.
22:01My relationship with Ireland is,
22:03I feel like it's unique for a stepmom
22:06and stepdaughter relationship
22:08because that's technically what we are,
22:10but first of all, I'm 11 years older than her.
22:13I didn't raise her.
22:15And we find tremendous humor in that,
22:17and we always have found tremendous humor.
22:19So...
22:22She's very into chewing things up
22:24and putting it in your mouth.
22:26Mm-hmm.
22:27It's okay.
22:28Since I'm your, like, grandma,
22:29it's gonna be okay.
22:30Right?
22:31Yeah.
22:32I haven't seen Ireland in a long time
22:33because we live so far
22:35and, you know, we both had babies.
22:37And even though Alec met his new baby granddaughter,
22:41I haven't met Holland until this little trip.
22:44We FaceTime all the time.
22:45We talk all the time.
22:46But we haven't actually met up.
22:49And so we got all the kids together
22:51for a play date this morning.
22:53Baby!
22:55It's so wonderful
22:56because we were pregnant together,
22:58but just barely.
22:59And so my baby is almost nine months older
23:04than Ireland's baby.
23:05But my baby is Holland's aunt.
23:09And Holland is my baby's niece.
23:12Spitting it out at me.
23:14Is that yucky?
23:15That's hilarious.
23:16Yeah.
23:17Lucky you got cool parents.
23:19We try.
23:20Try.
23:21Really hard.
23:22No, I mean, traveling, I feel like,
23:24puts everything to the test for me.
23:27Yeah, yeah.
23:28I mean, we've just been talking about this all day today.
23:30Like, traveling with a kid is no,
23:33it's an Olympic event.
23:35Like, it's so hard.
23:36It's horrible.
23:37I remember when, I mean,
23:38I haven't yet traveled on an airplane
23:41with all seven of them,
23:42but I'm terrified.
23:43Oh my God.
23:44I can, yeah.
23:45No, I'm terrified.
23:46I'm so scared of it.
23:47How can you even do that?
23:48I don't know.
23:49What you do is you and my dad
23:50should go sit in first class
23:52and then go put them in the back.
23:54Put them all in the back.
23:55Like row 33.
23:56All in one row and let them all just...
23:57And say, Carmen, you're in charge.
23:58Yeah.
23:59They're like, yeah.
24:00Okay, are we...
24:01You know what it's like though?
24:02That you keep on doing it again.
24:03I know, we're getting these breaths.
24:04Her favorite activity is eating something
24:06and spitting it out at me.
24:08Before I was her stepmother,
24:11when I met her,
24:12I first had a conversation with Alec
24:14and I said, you know what?
24:15If she doesn't like me,
24:16I'm not saying,
24:17because I'm not going to be wicked stepmother.
24:19My place in life is not to come into a family
24:21and cause problems.
24:23And I love you and I'm loving our relationship,
24:26but I have too much respect for the family.
24:30And she's like such an amazing person.
24:32She immediately welcomed me.
24:34It was so easy.
24:36We've never fought.
24:37I just want to spit everything out.
24:40You're so shallow.
24:42You're so shallow.
24:43My divorce with Ireland's mother
24:46was not easy.
24:47It's not easy.
24:48Very lengthy, very expensive.
24:49I mean, just insanity.
24:51Just insanity.
24:52I was on a plane every other week
24:55for all of the school year.
24:56I flew back and forth from New York
24:58to Los Angeles
25:0218 times a year.
25:04I got a house like eight doors down
25:07from my daughter and her mother.
25:08And I thought that would improve things.
25:11And it did not improve things.
25:13So it became as it was still as difficult
25:15and unnecessarily difficult that way.
25:18But I was very lucky that I came into their family.
25:23Kim, Alec, and Ireland
25:26at a place where everybody had moved on
25:28and there was a place of being settled.
25:30So I got very lucky.
25:32She has a mom that she has a very good relationship with.
25:35And so my job wasn't to come in and parent.
25:39Ireland had met girlfriends before of Alec,
25:42so I wasn't the next one.
25:44She was in L.A.
25:45and Alec would travel there.
25:47I mean, he is such a good dad.
25:49And you see it with our kids.
25:51He wants to be in his kids' lives.
25:55How about your gorgeous little granddaughter?
25:58She's cute.
25:59Oh, my God.
26:00She's so cute.
26:01She's too cute.
26:02Yeah.
26:03I'm happy for Ireland.
26:04I'm happy for her, too.
26:05She looks so happy.
26:06He's a great guy.
26:07She's happy.
26:08The baby is just perfect.
26:11I was gonna ask,
26:12did you ever have the conversation
26:14before you got married?
26:15Like, I want to have all of the children in the world.
26:18Or just thought, I'm gonna have three.
26:19Like, what do you think?
26:20I want to repopulate the earth.
26:23My wife, really, she's tough.
26:27She is so on it and capable.
26:29I admire her with every fiber of my being.
26:32I have one child,
26:33and when I get it all right just once,
26:35I'm impressed.
26:36Sounds good.
26:38Sounds good.
26:39Sounds very good.
26:42De Niro is in Italy on a boat.
26:44I know this because I talked to Whoopi.
26:46And Robert De Niro,
26:48is that not Robert De Niro that you were doing?
26:51Yes, but how do you know De Niro's summer plans?
26:53I know, it's very weird.
26:54Yeah.
26:55What's your next acting move?
26:56Me?
26:57Yeah.
26:58Um...
27:02Uh...
27:08What's your next acting move?
27:10Uh...
27:11What are you trying to say?
27:13Alec has told us
27:15that he doesn't care if he acts anymore.
27:18Do you believe him?
27:19No.
27:20He's gonna keep acting.
27:21You know what?
27:22It's a defense.
27:23He's gone through like a...
27:24Hell.
27:25He's gonna act again.
27:26Of course he is.
27:27He's a brilliant actor.
27:28Like, that's your purpose.
27:29That's one of your many purposes.
27:30Act, and then father every child on the planet.
27:34Those are your two things that you were born to do.
27:37What is your favorite movie of yours?
27:39None.
27:40I don't think about movies in terms of the movie
27:42and how it comes out.
27:43I learned very early I had to let that go.
27:45However the movie comes out, great.
27:46I died.
27:47I cried because of this movie.
27:48It was called The Edge.
27:49They called me and said,
27:50they're gonna get Tony Hopkins to play the lead.
27:52I started crying.
27:54Working with him.
27:55Oh my God.
27:56He was...
27:57I loved him.
27:58That was the greatest experience of my life.
27:59Oh, it was?
28:00It was?
28:01Oh.
28:02My sister flies to come stay with me for a week.
28:04My sister goes,
28:05can I meet Tony?
28:07And I go, sure.
28:08And I woke up and I go,
28:10Tony, may I bother you for a moment?
28:12And he said, yes, of course.
28:14And he gets up and stands up and I go,
28:15Tony, this is my sister Beth.
28:17This is Anthony Hopkins.
28:19And give me your hand.
28:20And Tony goes,
28:21Elizabeth, my great pleasure to meet you.
28:25And he kisses her hand.
28:26She's married for 25 years.
28:28And literally she's like,
28:29ugh, ugh.
28:31I could hear every single story that he has to tell.
28:33Even if I've heard him before,
28:34I could absolutely hear it again.
28:36There's a part of me that I want to go out
28:37the way I came in.
28:39I came in...
28:40Naked and screaming?
28:41Naked and screaming.
28:42Is there a chance you can slap me?
28:44Slap my .
28:46I love those bald weenies.
28:48That's all I can say.
28:49Tie that umbilical cord around my neck
28:51and stuff me inside.
28:52Well, never mind.
28:57Say Peepaw.
28:58Pick up the phone.
28:59Peppa, is it Peepaw?
29:00Peepaw.
29:01Peepaw.
29:02We call my mom Meemaw.
29:03She hates it.
29:06Because my relationship with Ireland
29:08was so negatively impacted by my experience there,
29:11getting divorced from her mother,
29:12that when it comes to these other kids,
29:14I bring all that baggage into this situation.
29:17Sadly.
29:18This is why I think I'm so focused on parenting
29:22to this level, if you will,
29:25being around a lot and taking them to school most days
29:28instead of working.
29:29Watch.
29:30He's like napping right now or something.
29:32Say, where are you?
29:34Say, pick up the phone.
29:35Hello.
29:36Hi.
29:37FaceTime us.
29:38Fun.
29:39Oh, that's so funny.
29:41Oh, I'm so happy.
29:42Where are you, Mary Lane?
29:44No, we're at Emporio.
29:45I have my daughter Ireland,
29:46and she was a little kid,
29:47and, you know, making an only child happy
29:50has its own unique set of concerns.
29:53After my divorce,
29:54her mother and I were working all the time.
29:56You know, in Ireland,
29:57usually went with her mother.
29:58Mom!
29:59Who's that?
30:00Who's that?
30:01Who's that?
30:02Mommy!
30:03She's like, I want to get down.
30:04She's going to throw it right at people.
30:06She can't throw it?
30:07You are.
30:09Exactly like your mother.
30:11Ito Sushi on Ventura Boulevard,
30:14and Ireland Baldwin would leave like...
30:16I have to say my last name like that.
30:18And pounds of rice on the floor.
30:20Why do you always say both names?
30:21You have to say a last name like we don't know.
30:22Not to be confused with the other Ireland's
30:24that we all know.
30:26Oh!
30:27Your hair looks gorgeous.
30:28Yeah, it's so beautiful.
30:29I agree, I agree.
30:30I really like it.
30:31I'm so glad you guys are there, too.
30:33I know.
30:34I know.
30:35I hope that we all get to be together soon.
30:36What's your relationship with Ireland today?
30:39I think it's good.
30:41Ireland has got a great situation.
30:44She met a great guy.
30:45We love him.
30:46Love him.
30:47Really good guy.
30:48Her baby's gorgeous.
30:49Which is not...
30:50Funny.
30:51Funny and really interesting.
30:52It fits right in with our kids.
30:54She's one of us.
30:55You guys, I hate you that you're having my favorite food.
30:57Well, yeah.
30:58Well, that was a choice to be there, okay?
31:01Yeah, we do the best we can.
31:02And the real glue there is Ilaria.
31:04Wait.
31:05Take a photo.
31:06Take a photo.
31:07It's just a cute photo.
31:08Okay, it's over.
31:09You little baby.
31:10There, there.
31:11Yeah.
31:12That's...
31:13Close up.
31:14I love you all.
31:15Bye.
31:16Bye.
31:17Oh, my God.
31:18I remember when I met you, you were really into volleyball,
31:21and it was very impressive.
31:23One time your dad, when we first started dating,
31:25he went with you to Florida and took...
31:27Do you remember this?
31:28And he took, like, all these photos, and he was like,
31:30this is my daughter, and I'm so proud of her.
31:31Cute.
31:32It's just, like, I mean, like, the nice, like, worshipped.
31:35Worshipped you.
31:36It still does, but...
31:37He actually got asked to leave my game.
31:39Because he told this ref off so bad.
31:42Oh, my God.
31:43He was fat.
31:44And this ref was terrible.
31:45Like, this ref was truthfully being borderline, like,
31:49abusive to some of the girls.
31:50And my dad just, of course, let him have it.
31:54That was actually one time, though, where I was like...
31:57Like, that's awesome.
31:58Can I tell you, he usually has a point.
32:01When he gets upset about something, he usually has a point.
32:03He just doesn't always convey it in the right way.
32:04Oh, yeah.
32:05Yeah.
32:06It's like a toddler in Target getting dragged out by their mom
32:10because they have big feelings.
32:13Ireland has really found herself through getting to know herself,
32:17if that makes sense.
32:18I'm quite proud of her.
32:20And I look to her to learn myself.
32:23Is she sleeping in bed with you guys, or do you...?
32:25Yeah, yeah.
32:26Yeah, yeah.
32:27Which is, I think, amazing, but also comes to its own.
32:30Yeah, she turns like a clock on.
32:32Yeah, yeah.
32:33And he wakes up with, like, a foot in his mouth every morning.
32:35Yeah.
32:38Glynis, I'm so happy to spend time with you.
32:40You come to Vermont, and we all have Christmas together.
32:43They have festivals there where all the kids get to throw hay at each other.
32:46It's the most fun thing ever.
32:47Sounds so fun.
32:48It's literally so fun.
32:49Cheers.
32:50Cheers.
32:51Cheers.
32:52To you.
32:53To you.
32:54To you.
32:55To you.
32:56And to you.
32:57To you.
32:58To all of us.
32:59Oh, my God.
33:00She's so cute.
33:07So we're back here already.
33:08So isn't Fresh Pond beautiful?
33:10Yeah.
33:11Oh, my God.
33:12I mean, when the tide goes out, we call it Poopy Town.
33:14Call it Poopy Town.
33:15Mm-hmm.
33:16It's not really animal excrement.
33:17I think it is.
33:18You said it is.
33:19It's impossible.
33:20I know.
33:21I really think it is.
33:22You know how much animals?
33:23It'd have to be a million birds.
33:24No, can I tell you what it is?
33:25It's like the geese.
33:26It's not that.
33:27Yes, it is.
33:28It's totally geese.
33:29You walk through there, honey.
33:30It's muck from dirt and sediment from a moving body of water.
33:34Honey, you'd have to be shooting a remake of the birds and have them all flock here poop.
33:38It's not so bad.
33:39It's definitely poop.
33:40I'm gonna stop.
33:41Now that I'm back from the city, I want to focus on our marriage and trying to connect
33:50with each other, not just about planning and problem solve and all the bad.
33:56To the right, maybe.
33:57No, in this part.
33:58Right here.
33:59As much as we focus on Alec and his career or the kids, I want to talk about what we enjoy
34:08to reconnect on a different level that is not just fight or flight.
34:15Would you like to go for a nice beach walk with me?
34:21Sure.
34:25That's beautiful.
34:27It's so pretty.
34:28We used to take the boat a long time ago and we would go to Montauk or to Greenport and
34:34we would dock and we'd eat.
34:35We'd have lunch.
34:36Laurie is somebody, when I met her, she's the happiest, most content.
34:42When I first met her and I go to her yoga class in the village, you go in there, all these
34:46women were walking up to her, to the class, very quietly hugging her.
34:49I always say, this makes me cry and I don't want to cry, but I'll never forget one or two
34:54women said, you know, I have cancer.
34:57And the only time in my life I really, really feel that I can leave that outside the door
35:01is when I come here to your class.
35:03I can really freely forget about it for an hour.
35:05And I died when that woman said that.
35:07I died.
35:09I didn't kiss my wife the first month I knew her.
35:12Why?
35:13I didn't want to go that way.
35:15I thought I don't want to, you know.
35:17I remember sitting there going, do I want to pull her into this, you know?
35:22This strap.
35:23I don't want an animal to get trapped in that.
35:28What's this over here?
35:29A lot of this is nets.
35:31Look at this.
35:32Oh, God.
35:37Look at that.
35:39Ugh.
35:41They put that over here in a pile.
35:43Alec with his OCD, you know, cleaning everything.
35:46It's not something you can turn on and turn off.
35:49He's going to do it no matter what.
35:50Look at this.
35:51See this?
35:52Okay, that literally has hair on him.
35:54Martha Washington's hair type.
35:56Look at this bottle cap.
35:58Look at that.
35:59How about Franklin Roosevelt had a Coca-Cola here or something?
36:03There's a straw.
36:04Oh, there's also some socks over there if you want to pick those up.
36:07This is why you're gross, Alec, because then you're going to touch it.
36:10You're supposed to do this with gloves on.
36:12I hope that person's sock doesn't have, like, warts on his feet or something.
36:17You're going to have warts on your hands.
36:18Okay.
36:19Okay.
36:20It's been out here being purified in the bleaching sun.
36:23There's a cigarette, but that's disgusting.
36:25You see the stuff in your hand?
36:26You could put it in the pile and collect it.
36:28Well, I don't want to do that.
36:29Why?
36:30Because you want to bring it home?
36:31Because you want to bring it home?
36:33An animal could come and get choked in the rubber?
36:35But is it because you want to bring that home?
36:37Am I going to find that in one of the jars?
36:38Have you ever bought the garbage home with me?
36:40I found some of the garbage from the beach in my garbage can.
36:44I empty my pocket every day of garbage.
36:46The kids' candy wrappers are everywhere.
36:48They're in cornfields 10 miles from here.
36:51Did you see a plastic cap just now?
36:53Plastic?
36:54I did not see garbage here.
36:55It actually is pretty clean.
36:56God damn it, I'm the John Muir of Long Island.
36:57You must have been walking here already, because I don't see any garbage.
37:01I must have been.
37:02You already went and cleaned it.
37:04That was a good line.
37:05Was it?
37:06You must have been here earlier today, because there's no garbage out.
37:08You must have been there.
37:09It's so clean.
37:10If I'm not mistaken, because I was taught as a child, Long Island was formed by glaciers
37:16coming down from the north.
37:18And Alec, sometimes he'll have his things that he'll say, you know, the history of Long Island,
37:23and the this and the that, and this, drawing a map, put different things, different places.
37:28You see that land there?
37:29Way up there?
37:30This goes up, and that's the bay.
37:32And the land goes like this, and then it drops like this, and becomes like a paddle of a canoe.
37:38It's called Nepigue, and it goes all the way out to Montauk Point.
37:42Alec and I have been married for 12 years, so I've heard a lot of the stories already.
37:46So I'll just stop paying attention, and I'll sit there, and I'll smile, and I just get very quiet.
37:50My wife is very good at this.
37:52She tunes out deeper than I thought was possible.
37:56What's famous about this area?
37:57Honey, you tell me.
37:59And they'll ask me something.
38:00I'm like, I wasn't paying attention to any of it.
38:05He's also like, he wants to show me, like, certain parts of the island out, and he's like,
38:09and that part is blah, blah, blah, this island, and that part is...
38:13I won't remember any of it ever.
38:15And I think embracing that as well is extremely important.
38:19We're on Little Alberts, not to be confused with Big Alberts.
38:23Next is Krabby Town, and beyond Krabby Town is Poopy Town, and beyond Poopy Town is Jumping Town.
38:31It's our house.
38:32You remember when I first came out here with you?
38:35Who?
38:36Easter 2011.
38:38And it was like a gray weekend.
38:40You had me come out.
38:41We went to church.
38:42And I was really sick.
38:44And I was trying to hide it because you were...
38:46I didn't want you to think that I was too tired or anything.
38:49And you were driving me around all of this area.
38:52And you were giving me this entire history lesson.
38:55And you were drawing your maps and putting your hand up and trying to explain everything.
38:59And I'm just like...
39:02But you were fascinating, and I decided to get married to you.
39:06It's been very, very tough for her.
39:09You know, everything that supported me and helped me was muted.
39:12Everything that hurt me and cost me was amplified by the media.
39:16She's married to this.
39:17And I, for a while, this past year, I fully expected her to sit down with me and say,
39:21I don't think I can do it anymore.
39:22I fully expected her to present me with that idea.
39:25It was possible.
39:26It was possible.
39:27A lot of other people have done it.
39:28You know, they just, you get into a situation.
39:30And I would have understood, kind of, because I don't want her to suffer.
39:33I don't want anybody to suffer because of me.
39:36But Ilaria wasn't willing to do that.
39:39Don't get married again.
39:41You'll never have it as good as with me.
39:44Look at your face.
39:47I truly love Alcott.
39:48I wonder if I could be buried on Alcott.
39:50I'll get cremated, and you scatter my ashes on Alberts.
39:53You know what's best?
39:54Let's just talk about it.
39:55Scatter my ashes on Poopy Town.
39:57Where's your father's ashes?
39:58Poopy Town.
39:59What?
40:00That's horrible.
40:02The most romantic thing you can do with somebody is just be.
40:06And enjoy each other.
40:08We go on the walk, and he's going to talk about the geography of the land,
40:14and the trash, and the history of this and that.
40:17And he always says to me, you're going to miss me when I'm gone,
40:20because nobody's going to be doing this.
40:22And I'm like, you know what?
40:23You're probably right.
40:24You're probably right.
40:27Want to go clamming?
40:28No.
40:33If I looked like you, I wouldn't want to go clamming.
40:36Alex said to me, just remember, you're always going to be my girlfriend.
40:40Even if you are mother and wife, you are always my girlfriend.
40:43Can I take you to dinner?
40:45Yeah.
40:46Of course I want my husband to think that I'm attractive and funny and interesting and want to spend time with me.
40:52Of course I want to be his girlfriend.
40:54My husband wants to date me.
40:55Like, is this that bad?
40:57God, that bathing suit looks so good on you.
40:59You hit my mic.
41:00How unprofessional of you.
41:03How do you think we had so many kids?
41:07That bathing suit looks so good on you.
41:09My God, it does.
41:10You know what?
41:11You should be nicer to me.
41:12I love that bathing suit.
41:13Do you like how the bathing suit looks?
41:14You should be nicer to me.
41:15I think that bathing suit is very beautiful.
41:16Because this bathing suit's going to look very nice with me alone over here.
41:19I don't like you now.
41:20Okay.
41:21If you had a dog trainer come, what would you have them learn?
41:31Don't whiz on my $40,000 hand-knitted provision rug.
41:35We went through this very hard thing.
41:38And so some things slipped through the cracks, like dog training.
41:42Cappuccino just peed on the floor.
41:43You're the one that brought those dogs into the house and said they were trained.
41:46If we want the dogs not to pee in the rug, we have to train them.
41:49Can you tell from looking at a dog right away whether they're hopeless and they're never going to be trained or they have hope?
41:59Uh-huh.
42:00I worry about Alec because he is somebody who's gone through some heavy stuff.
42:04And you can get stuck in that place.
42:07So the new word for the future is fun.
42:10I'm about to drop a bomb on you.
42:12What is it?
42:13I'm having another baby.
42:15What do you want?
