Ireland Baldwin Marks 30 With Substack Broadside, Describes Family as Narcissistic and Vows to Shield Daughter

The post reflects on a solitary upbringing shaped by her parents’ split, signaling her push to break damaging cycles.

Overview

  • She published a Substack essay titled "30, Flirty, and Surviving" on Oct. 22, taking stock of her first three decades.
  • In the piece, she says she felt burdened by "narcissistic, unreliable and substance-dependent" relatives, without naming them.
  • Coverage notes the critique points to her parents Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, whose 2002 divorce and custody fight framed her childhood.
  • She writes that her two-year-old daughter, Holland, does not need to know those relatives and that she intends to build her own model of family with partner RAC.
  • Italian outlets highlighted the essay ahead of her birthday, and Alec Baldwin has recently said the divorce strained their relationship though he claims they now have a good bond.
