Hilaria Baldwin Turns To Kris Jenner In Last-Ditch Effort To Save Struggling Reality Show

Hilaria Baldwin has always been desperate to keep up with the Kardashians. Now it turns out that after the disastrous launch of The Baldwins, the spotlight-loving wife of former A-list star Alec Baldwin actually reached out to reality-TV mogul Kris Jenner for advice on ways to save their TLC show.

Hilaria, 41, was counting on the series, in which she, Alec, 67, and their seven kids, ages 2 to 11, costar, to finally bring her the Kardashian-level fame she’s always wanted. “Hilaria had high hopes for the show, but critics hate it, and they’re losing viewers,” an insider says.

So she turned to Kris, 69, hoping she’d share some words of wisdom. “Kris was blunt and told Hilaria there needs to be more passion between her and Alec, and she needs to stop snapping at him, because that’s turning people off,” our source says. “She also told her to be more likeable by smiling more and showing Alec some love and respect.

“Hilaria is gleaning everything she can from the woman who started it all,” the insider says. But whether Kris’ tips can save The Baldwins — and Hilaria’s dreams of fame — from cancellation remains to be seen.
