Baldwin shared how the long battle for custody and the media's constant attention made things even harder. He said the press had a lot of fun reporting about their problems. “I must say that because my relationship with my daughter, Ireland, was hurt by the divorce and the long custody battle, the media really enjoyed covering it,” Baldwin explained. “The whole thing lasted seven years, with the financial part taking about a year and a half, and then everything else was about custody.”
Baldwin also said he regretted how the divorce hurt his daughter. “One of my biggest regrets was how it affected Ireland,” he said. Ireland, now 29 years old, is the daughter of Baldwin and Basinger.
Baldwin and Basinger were married from 1993 to 2002. Now, Baldwin is married to Hilaria Baldwin, and they have seven children together, three daughters and four sons. Baldwin's story shows how difficult divorce and custody battles can be for everyone, especially for children.
