Alec Baldwin stepped out for a leisurely stroll with his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, after sparking backlash for endorsing Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
Days after urging his Instagram followers to vote against Donald Trump, who was elected the 47th president of the United States on Wednesday, the actor, 66, and his longtime love, 40, were seen enjoying some family time in New York City.
As they walked down the sidewalk together, Alec looked a bit glum as he pushed a black stroller while Hilaria carried one of their youngest children in her arms.
For the occasion, the 30 Rock star, who previously won an Emmy for playing Trump on Saturday Night Live, wore a black windbreaker over a crewneck sweater and sneakers.
Meanwhile, Hilaria cut a casual figure in a black tank top, light-wash jeans, UGG slippers and a flannel wrapped around her waist.

Alec and Hilaria stopped for coffee in their neighborhood following a tense few days after coming forward on who he voted for in the election.
Over the weekend, the Oscar-nominated actor slammed Trump and took aim at Elon Musk for not doing enough to help the environment.
In the video, he stated that Harris would be a better candidate to navigate the country through four years.
'I think nearly all of us know what's at stake,' Baldwin said in his post, uploaded two days ahead of the election. 'People say, "Oh, the future of the country is at stake," and that might be true, but what's at stake is the next four years.'
'In terms of certain problems we have with - yes, the border and yes, what our military is gonna be asked to do and what we're gonna pay for that - but the environment is the most important thing to me right now, because you can't undo it.'
The Cooler star then turned his focus to Musk, the billionaire businessman who has rallied to Trump's side through the final month of the campaign.
'Elon Musk comes up with ideas which are apparently great ideas, people love their Teslas; Elon Musk comes up with ideas but none that I know of are going to solve our environmental problem,' Baldwin said. 'Maybe the Musks of the world could turn their attention toward solving those problems on a grand scale, that would be great.'
Baldwin said that the responsibilities of the next president are 'critical in terms of environmental protection,' calling Harris a 'far better' option than Trump in that regard 'although [she] might not dot every I and cross every T.'

Baldwin continued, 'One candidate wants to put the military on the streets to quash rebellion and quash free speech.
'The other candidate would be a history-making statement - not that we vote for somebody for that reason alone - about how progressive this country really is and how they're willing to go to any length necessary to run this country.'
Baldwin touched on a number of other critical issues, such as economics, worldwide unrest, and the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, which he dubbed 'inconceivable.'
He ended the clip in saying, 'I think everybody knows what to do - vote.'
Following his post, he received mixed feedback from fans, with some criticizing him for speaking out.
'I really don't care what your opinion is. I'm voting for Trump,' one wrote under his Instagram post.
Another wrote: 'I'm voting for Trump. Kamala will destroy our country.'
'Don’t be fooled, Trump is a pawn. They know he is unfit but they are using him to get in the door,' a third added. 'Should he win ( God help us) they will soon oust him, put Vance in as president (why else would he have gone from never Trumper to VP pick) and the extreme right will take over. This is just an opinion and a hunch.'

Baldwin's statement came weeks after he made his return to SNL, receiving loud cheers from the audience before revealing he was playing Fox's Bret Baier, who he joked, 'Yes, I do look like someone made a businessman in Minecraft.'
Actress Maya Rudolph's Kamala Harris nervously laughed after shaking hands with Baldwin's Baier, saying, 'The pleasure is neither of ours.'
The skit poked fun at Baier's real-life interruptions of Harris, with Baldwin repeatedly interrupting Rudolph in rapid-fire fashion.

Baldwin: 'I'm asking you to,' to which Rudolph said, 'Well, then you have to listen.'
Baldwin said, 'Well I can't because I'm talking,' to which Rudolph said, 'Well, When will you stop?'

Baldwin responded, 'Maybe when I go to bed,' with the audience laughing loudly.
The skit also mocked a moment Baier acknowledged was a mistake by playing the wrong clip of a Trump response.
The clips allowed SNL to bring in mini-skits including one with Dana Carvey as President Joe Biden, who has played the role since the beginning of the comedy sketch show's 50th season.
The skit closed - many interruptions later - with Harris asking: 'Before I go, can I just say the thing I've been trying to say this whole time? Live from New York, it's Saturday night!', with Baldwin joining her.
