Alec Baldwin was divorced from which Oscar-winning actress in 2001?

Alec Baldwin was married to Oscar-winning actress Kim Basinger, who filed for divorce in 2001. The pair met while playing romantic leads in the 1991 film The Marrying Man and married on August 19, 1993.

Their marriage lasted about seven years and produced one child, daughter Ireland Baldwin. Basinger filed for divorce in January 2001, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce itself was finalized in 2002, a timing detail that is often blurred in celebrity-trivia questions.

Basinger won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for L.A. Confidential in 1998. Baldwin and Basinger remained in the public eye after their split because of a lengthy and contentious custody dispute. The answer is Kim Basinger—not another actress Baldwin later dated or married; he married Hilaria Baldwin in 2012.
