Alec Baldwin Recovers After Major Surgery In Update From Wife Hilaria

Alec Baldwin can add surgery to the list of hurdles that he's gone through over the past few years. Recently, we have seen the actor's name in the headlines for not-so-positive reasons, primarily because of the fatal shooting on the set of his movie, "Rust," which claimed the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and has made one headline after the next. Alec has maintained his innocence through it all, but there's no doubt that the shooting has taken a toll on the star.

In the past, Baldwin has also been pretty candid about some of the health struggles that he has gone through, including his experience living with obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD. On an episode of his podcast "What's One More," Alec spoke about the condition with his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, and Howie Mandel — who also deals with OCD. "OCD is something I personally struggle with," Alec told listeners. "I'm grateful to Howie for opening up at a time when few people were talking about this publicly, and there was even more of a stigma about OCD and mental health than there is today." He added, "It's through empathy, understanding, and being kinder to one another that we can finally remove the stigma and change the narrative." Baldwin also explained that germs irked him and started a journal to track his symptoms better.

Only two years after his OCD admission, Hilaria has revealed that the star has undergone surgery for another serious medical issue.

Alec Baldwin is on the road to recovery after having a serious surgery. In a post shared on her Instagram feed, Hilaria Baldwin informed her followers that Alec just underwent intense surgery and she shared several details with fans. "Alec got a new hip today...it was a long time necessary," Hilaria began the lengthy post. "We have been through so much together...as your partner and as you heal, I want so very much for you to leave this very intense chronic pain chapter behind and improve your quality of life." She also thanked the star's team of doctors and nurses for helping the star in his surgery and recovery. 

The yoga instructor accompanied the upload with an image of herself lying in the hospital bed next to Alec, who was sporting a hospital gown. Alec made sure to comment on the post to thank his wife for her all of her support. "And you. Thanks to you," he wrote. Several other fans also made sure to weigh in in the comments section. "Please tell him we hope recovery is quick, and we are looking forward to seeing those funky dance moves in the near future!" one wrote. "Get well, Alec. They all need you up and running soon," another commented.

As of this writing, Baldwin has not posted about the surgery on his own page. Instead, he plugged his podcast "Here's the Thing" in his latest Instagram update.
