Hilaria Baldwin is getting real about her relationship with Alec Baldwin.
The multi-hyphenate, 41, was the latest guest on the Uncut and Uncensored with Caroline Stanbury podcast, where she discussed the 26-year age gap with her husband, 67, whom she married in 2012.
"I don't believe that age is just a number, at least in our situation," Hilaria said. "I think that there's certain things where I have to look at him and say he has 26 more years of experience. And sometimes that's a flex, and sometimes that means that we need to do a little therapy."

Speaking further about their age difference, the season 34 Dancing with the Stars alum said one thing she's learned is that you "can't please everybody."
"I think that is a big lesson for me," Hilaria added, noting the importance of knowing "what you want" by the time you enter your 40s.
"That's a beautiful thing, you know, for your relationship ... you know what you want, and there's probably a confidence that you have now that is extremely sexy and extremely just comforting," she said. "Whereas the ups and the downs and the insecurities that we often have when we're younger and not knowing ourselves. "
