Overview
- Baldwin published a Substack post titled "30, Flirty, and Surviving" on Oct. 20 reflecting on her upbringing as she turned 30 this week.
- She writes that growing up without both parents in one home and without siblings left her lonely and focused on winning certain relatives’ approval.
- The essay characterizes some family members as narcissistic, unreliable, and addicted, and says she is letting go of the burden of supporting them.
- Baldwin says she will keep her daughter, Holland, away from those influences and work to build her own vision of a healthy family with partner RAC.
- Coverage notes recent but limited contact with her parents, including Kim Basinger at Holland’s second birthday in May and a July Instagram interaction involving Alec Baldwin.
