Hilaria Baldwin can admit that her relationship with Alec Baldwin, and the 26-year age difference between them, can seem "ridiculous.".
Former actor of the series «30 Rock» and a former yoga teacher met in 2011 at Pure Food & Wine, an organic restaurant in New York City's Irving Place neighborhood, and married the following year.
And while the mother of seven admits their relationship may look like it was taken straight out of a Saturday Night Live sketch, she insists it "works.".

Hilaria joked in an interview with the Daily Mail: "Take a 27-year-old yoga instructor married to a rich and famous older man—it sounds ridiculous. It's like an SNL sketch gone wrong.".
However, the 42-year-old Dancing with the Stars contestant noted that her marriage to 68-year-old Alec, fortunately, "worked out," and, what's more, she and her husband "constantly joke around with each other in the family.".
«"I think people understand that Alec needed someone he could boss around, and we're on the same level," she added.

As for how they maintain a strong marriage, she shared, "We make a lot of time for date nights," noting, "We've been traveling a lot for work lately, but we try to have a lot of romantic evenings.".
The couple, parents of seven children—Carmen Gabriela, 12, Rafael Tomas, 10, Leonardo Angel, 9, Romeo Alejandro, 8, Eduardo "Edu" Pao, 5, Maria Lucia, 5, and Ilaria Catalina, 2—spend their time between their Greenwich Village apartment and their Hamptons home.

«"We just allow each other to be ourselves, and I think that's one of the reasons why our relationship has lasted so long, because we are complete opposites and very different," she added.
Alec said he wanted nothing more than to stay home with his children (Getty Images).
«"We've had so much chaos in our lives, so much beauty, and some terrible things, but we've managed to get through it all," Hilaria continued. Alec, who was also present at her Spotlight magazine cover event, added that he knew Hilaria was the one from the moment they met. "I think everyone can see that. She's a very special person, truly.".
«"When I met her, she was unknown, not a celebrity. She was a hard worker, and I admired that very much. She is incredibly beautiful, both inside and out," he enthused.
