The Baldwin Brothers have been acting for decades, and as their stars have risen together, so have those of many of their family members.

The four brothers — Alec, Daniel, Billy and Stephen — have two sisters, too, plus a host of kids, nieces and nephews who are paving their own ways in the worlds of acting, music and fashion (looking at you, Hailey Bieber!).

Here, a guide to the famous family and what they've been up to recently.

Alec, 65, is the second-oldest of his large family and the oldest of the Baldwin brothers. He's currently on his second marriage, to fitness pro Hilaria, with whom he has seven young children: daughters Carmen, María and Ilaria, and sons Rafael, Leonardo, Romeo and Eduardo "Edu." Alec is also dad to adult daughter Ireland Baldwin, whom he shares with ex-wife Kim Basinger. In May of 2023, Ireland welcomed her first child, daughter Holland, with boyfriend RAC.

He has two Emmy Awards for his work on 30 Rock, and in 2017, won another Emmy Award for his work as President Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live.

In early 2023, it was announced that Alec would be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the October 2021 on-set death of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. She was killed after a prop gun held by Alec that turned out to contain live rounds discharged. In October of 2022, Alec and other Rust producers settled a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Hutchins' widower Matthew.

Daniel Baldwin and Family

The third-oldest family member, 62-year-old Daniel has also acted and starred in reality shows — though had several run-ins with the law and did a stint on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. His first marriage, to wife Cheryl in the 1980s, produced one daughter, actress Kahlea (pictured).

In 1990, Daniel married wife Elizabeth, with whom he has a daughter Alexandra. He and Elizabeth split in 1996.

The actor had a romantic relationship with Homicide: Life on the Street costar Isabella Hoffman in the '90s; together they have a son, Atticus.

Daniel's last marriage was to Joanne, with whom he has young daughters Avis and Finley. He and Joanne announced plans to split in 2011, and briefly reconciled before she again filed for divorce. Most recently, Daniel was engaged to entrepreneur Robin Sue Hertz Hempel.
