Alec Baldwin of 30 Rock fame and his yoga instructor girlfriend Hilaria Thomas have announced their engagement.
His rep released this statement: “Yes, it’s true! Alec proposed to Hilaria this weekend and we’re all excited for the newly engaged couple. Alec’s birthday is tomorrow — great way to celebrate!”
The couple began dating last summer and live together in SoHo. He had this to say about the 28-year-old shortly after their initial hookup, “I’ve got a woman in my life now. My girlfriend is very important to me.”
Baldwin, 53, and actress Kim Basinger ended their marriage in 2001 with a messy divorce and custody battle over their only daughter, Ireland, 16.
The 30 Rock actor, who has exhibited anger issues in the past, made headlines in late December when he was removed from an American Airlines flight because he refused to quit playing Words With Friends.
