Alec Baldwin hails the ‘capable mothers’ who are raising his daughters

OHMYGOSSIP — Alec Baldwin feels grateful for the “capable mothers” who are helping to raise his daughters.
The 60-year-old actor – who has Ireland, 23, with his ex-wife Kim Basinger and Carmen, five, with his second wife Hilaria Baldwin – thinks young females need good role models and support from the same gender to guide them through life.
He explained: “I’m grateful that both daughters I have – from two different marriages – have very capable mothers. Because the mother is the one who is going to teach the girl, I think, how to get around in the world.”
The ‘Departed’ actor recalled one particular conversation he previously had with his eldest daughter about the potential pitfalls of dating.
Alec – who also has sons Rafael, three, Leonardo, two, and five-month-old Romeo with Hilaria – admitted that Ireland took no notice of his advice.
Speaking on an upcoming episode of ‘Dr. Oz’: “I remember saying to Ireland … when she was much younger and she was dating guys.
“She was – I don’t know, 15 or 16 – and she had zero interest in my input. We’re in a car and … I thought, ‘This is the moment. It’s the birds and the bees or kind of, you know, the birds and bees and the drinking in a bar with the birds and the bees moment.’
“And she just stared out the window, like, ‘Oh, please, don’t talk to me about this.’ But I said to her that men will say anything to get you to do what they want you to do.”
The ‘Saturday Night Live’ star – who has been married to Hilaria since 2012 – added: “I said, ‘That’s not the problem … The problem is some of them are very good at it.'”
