“If she doesn’t like me, I’m not gonna stay because I can’t hurt a family,” Hilaria recalled telling Alec at the beginning of their relationship.<\/p>\n

Hilaria Baldwin<\/a> is opening up about her relationship with stepdaughter Ireland Baldwin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While appearing on the podcast Not Skinny But Not Fat<\/a>, the 41-year-old mother of seven shared how she allowed Ireland to decide the direction of her relationship with husband Alec Baldwin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I told Alec before I met her [Ireland], I said, ‘If she doesn’t like me, I’m not gonna stay because I can’t hurt a family,'” Hilaria recalled of the early days of their relationship. “And he gets mad. He’s all mad at me then. He gets mad at me when I say it now.”<\/p>\n

She continued, “Always be respectful about her mom,” referring to Ireland’s mom and Alec’s ex, Kim Basinger.<\/p>\n

“Always understand that it’s Alec, Ireland and Kim. And I can come in and be a guest. And if I’m welcomed in, wonderful, I’m there,” she added. “But I have to be strong enough on my own and not come in and, you know, mark my territory and all that kind of stuff.”<\/p>\n

Obviously things worked out between the pair, as Hilaria welcomed seven children with the actor, emphasizing how the “family unit is the most important thing.”<\/p>\n

Throughout the years, Hilaria and Ireland have formed a strong relationship.<\/p>\n

“Ireland has really seen me, and Ireland has seen how much I care about her dad and her family and her,” Hilaria explained.<\/p>\n

“And we’ve been so blessed to have a wonderful relationship. And that’s not just being blessed and lucky,” she continued. “It’s also, you know, walking that line of being a stepmom and coming into her life when she’s 15, 16 years old. And I was just always very clear that I’m there to be supportive when she needs me.”<\/p>\n

She recalled Ireland being “extraordinarily welcoming” from the “beginning.”<\/p>\n

In September, Ireland took to Instagram to defend and praise her stepmother, sharing a photo of them together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I think if people actually knew her the way I do, they would be quite surprised,” Ireland began in the post.<\/p>\n

“She is the reason I get to have siblings\/a big family that I’ve always wanted. She has always respected me, accepted my flaws, embraced me, and has always shown me kindness. I met her as a teenager and I needed her as an example. I still very much look up to her now,” Ireland added to the post before sharing how proud she is of her stepmom on Dancing with the Stars.<\/p>\n
