Kim Basinger leaves playful comment on ex-husband Alec Baldwin’s Instagram calling his sons ‘cute’

Kim Basinger leaves playful comment on ex-husband Alec Baldwin’s Instagram calling his sons ‘cute’… almost 20 years after their bitter split

They were a Hollywood power couple in the 1990s, before an acrimonious divorce in 2002.

But Kim Basinger seemed to be in a friendlier state of mind all these years later, when she left a nice comment on her ex-husband Alec Baldwin’s Instagram on Friday showing a picture of him with three of his young children with Hilaria Baldwin.

The Oscar winner, 67, wrote ‘So cute……’ under the photo showing the 30 Rock star, 63, reclining on the couch with his leg up on the couch, before specifying ‘them I mean….’

The Batman actress then added a string of amusing and appreciative emojis.

Alec and Kim were married from 1993 until 2002, and are parents to young supermodel Ireland Eliesse Baldwin. 

The Married To The Mob actor went on to marry his second wife Hilaria, 37, in 2012, with whom he shares six more children.

Back in the early aughts, however, Basinger and Baldwin were pitted against one another in a messy four-year custody battle over daughter Ireland, who was seven years old at the time their divorce proceedings began.

Since then, though, Kim has said that time has healed old wounds, saying in 2016:

‘[Alec and I are] cool now, though. Life goes on.’

And Ireland, now 25, is also on better terms with her own father, after a fight during her early teen years prompted a vicious voicemail left for her by her father to be leaked to the media.

The beauty also enjoys a healthy relationship with her stepmother Hilaria.

Ireland even came to Hilaria’s defense last year, during the latter’s Spanish culture appropriation scandal.
