Alec Baldwin brands ex-wife Kim Basinger ‘one of the most beautiful women that ever lived’ as they appear to end ongoing feud

They were once Hollywood’s most glamorous couple who became bitter enemies.

But now Alec Baldwin has paid the ultimate compliment to his former wife Kim Basinger by dubbing her ‘one of the most beautiful women that ever lived’.

Now happily married to his stunning new wife Hilaria Thomas, the often combustible star seems to no longer bear any hard feelings towards Oscar winner Kim.

Alec, 55, who is expecting a new baby with the 28-year-old yoga instructor, was gushing when he spoke about Kim, 59, to Access Hollywood.

‘Ireland’s mother is obviously one of the most beautiful women that ever lived – and even divorce doesn’t muddy my view of that,’ he gushed.

‘Kim is one of the most beautiful women that ever lived and even Ireland sees that.’

And despite their differences in the past, The 30 Rock star believes his 17-year-old daughter has the perfect role model in her famous mother as she tries to make a name for herself in the modelling world.

The famous actor revealed he is not worried about any potential pitfalls that await stunning Ireland because he believes that she has what it takes to succeed.

He said: ‘The good news is my daughter is someone who somewhat understands .. it’s hard at that age to have that wisdom that beauty comes and goes.’

During the 1990s Alec and Kim were one of the hottest couples in Tinseltown before their marriage imploded and they divorced in 2002.

The pair went on to have a bitter custody battle over Ireland which lasted many years, although now an apparent truce has emerged.

These days Alec seems to be settling for a more settled domestic life as he prepares to welcome his first child with his second wife.

‘I never imagined I would be sitting at a table with my wife having a baby and I have a daughter that’s almost 18 years-old. It’s bizarre,’ he admitted.
