Two decades after they split, former spouses Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin are doing reasonably well. However, Basinger acknowledged their breakup was tough on their daughter, Ireland Baldwin, especially since it played out in the tabloids.
Basinger joined her daughter for an emotionally raw chat on "Red Table Talk," detailing how Baldwin neglected to adequately support Ireland during her mental health struggles. "I don't think Alec was emotionally or mentally available for that kind of talk," Basinger opined.
The father-daughter duo has had their issues over the years, but Ireland has frequently leaped to her dad's defense. In the wake of the tragic "Rust" shooting, she defended him from judgmental commenters.
