TLC’s “The Baldwins” returns this Sunday, with another look at the bustling life of Alec and Hilaria Baldwin and their brood of seven children. As summer winds down, the family soaks up those last lazy days before the inevitable return to the city. But even in vacation mode, real life has a way of intruding, bringing with it big decisions and new challenges.
For Alec, it’s a career crossroads. Does he return to the world of acting, or does he embrace his role as a stay-at-home dad? It’s a choice many parents grapple with, though admittedly, most don’t have Alec Baldwin’s resume to consider. Meanwhile, Hilaria confronts the realities of postpartum body changes, a topic she’s always addressed with refreshing honesty.
“The Baldwins” manages to find a balance between the everyday chaos of a large family and the unique pressures of living in the public eye. It’s a blend of relatable parenting moments – temper tantrums, sibling squabbles, and the constant struggle for a moment’s peace – mixed with the specific challenges of dealing with fame and public perception. Tune in to TLC this Sunday, April 6 at 10:00 PM to see how the Baldwins tackle these latest transitions.
