Alec Baldwin’s Absence from “Dancing with the Stars”
Alec Baldwin was notably absent during the second week of “Dancing with the Stars,” where his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, took to the stage with her partner, Gleb Sabenko. While their performance captured attention, it was not the reason behind Alec’s absence. Hilaria clarified to Fox News Digital what was really going on.
“Alec is busy with movies and shows right now,” Hilaria shared. “He’ll be here next week, but we are sort of juggling everything.”
Hilaria described her experience on “DWTS” as almost surreal, stating she packed up all the kids in a single day to take part in the show, despite the unexpected demands of their schedule. “We had a specific plan to be in New York, but then this amazing opportunity came up,” she explained, emphasizing their busy family life.
While Alec couldn’t attend every show due to work commitments, their seven children were present to cheer on Hilaria. She acknowledged that they can’t always be together, noting, “But he’ll come as much as he can and my kids will be there to support me.”
“Alec is doing movies and shows, and he is traveling a lot. He will be here next week, but we are juggling.”
During Hilaria’s week on the dance floor, she and Gleb shared a tender moment that Alec did catch, eliciting mixed reactions from fans about his expression. A few viewers commented on social media about how Alec’s reaction suggested he wasn’t fully invested in the moment, with one individual even humorously noting how he was “panting to Alec Baldwin, who doesn’t want to be there.”
Despite Alec’s absence throughout the season, Hilaria emphasized how crucial his support is to her. “I mean, I can’t do it without the support I have,” she said, mentioning her family, friends, and Gleb. She appreciated the collective encouragement that fuels her confidence on stage.
Upon partnering with Sabenko, Hilaria was upfront about expecting a challenge. “I told him, don’t make it easy on me. I know you can push me, and I want that,” she remarked. It’s clear that while she’s deeply focused on her performance, the family dynamics also play a significant role in her journey.
In the midst of it all, Hilaria’s gratitude towards Alec and her children’s presence shows a heartwarming family support system—despite the busy lives they lead.
