The Baldwins Recap: Alec and Hilaria’s 3-Year-Old Daughter Eats Worms

Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin‘s daughter María Lucía Victoria enjoys some obvious favorite foods, such as pizza, and some not so predictable delicacies — including worms.

During the Sunday, March 16, episode of TLC’s The Baldwins, Alec, 66, and Hilaria’s eldest daughter, Carmen, 11, asked her younger siblings what their favorite foods were. María Lucía Victoria, now 4, gleefully mentioned worms, which concerned Carmen.

“Wait. Mom, are they actually eating worms?” she asked Hilaria, 41, who replied, “No. This is just being 3.”

María Lucía didn’t agree, though. She assured her mother that she does “eat worms” before her brother Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas, now 4, mentioned gummy worms as his favorite food. The siblings also agreed that pizza was an important meal in their household.

Elsewhere in the episode, Hilaria candidly discussed the ups and downs she faced when expanding her and Alec’s family. The couple, who have been married since 2012, share seven kids: Carmen Gabriela, Rafael Thomas, 9, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 8, Romeo Alejandro David, 6, Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas, María Lucía Victoria and Ilaria Catalina Irena, 2.

Alec also shares daughter Ireland Baldwin with his ex-wife Kim Basinger. A preview for next week’s episode showed Ireland, 29, making her debut in the series when sitting down for lunch with Hilaria. Earlier in the season, Alec admitted he wasn’t always on the best of terms with Ireland.

“My relationship with my daughter Ireland was so negatively impacted by my divorce with her mother — and having a very protracted custody battle,” Baldwin recalled on an episode earlier this month. “The financials were probably a year and a half and everything else was custody. It was just insanity and really tough.”

Baldwin issued an apology to Ireland (who is now a mom herself to daughter Holland, 22 months), adding, “One of my most regrettable things was how it affected Ireland. But she is grown and is 29 years old. I have a good relationship with her and she loves the kids [I share with Hilaria]. She is sweet to them and is their older sister, but she isn’t in that pack.”

Alec continued: “This is why I am so focused on [my daughter] Carmen and I want to have a good relationship with her. Because I have a girl all over again.”

While Hilaria and Alec haven’t held back on the show, more recently the couple admitted they didn’t know what they were signing up for with The Baldwins.

“I think we didn’t think it through very much, which I look back now and I’m thinking, ‘What were we thinking?’ But at the same time, I’m so glad that we did it because it is so raw and it is so true and it was a very vulnerable time,” she exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, March 12. “It’s interesting to look back and even though it’s not that long ago, it really was a diary of how we were coping and moving forward. I’m very grateful that we did it and we were so lucky with the people that we did it with, and I don’t say that lightly.”

Alec, meanwhile, joked that he “didn’t make any decisions” during season 1. “I didn’t have any input at all,” he quipped. “My wife and Sara [Reddy] just shoved me around all day long for months.”

The Baldwins airs on TLC Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.
