Alec Baldwin recently underwent hip replacement surgery, according to an Instagram photo posted by his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, on Tuesday.
Hilaria leaned in close to Baldwin as he lay on a hospital bed, wearing a hospital gown and connected to tubes. “Alec got a new hip today…it was a long time necessary,” Hilaria wrote. She went on to describe how the surgery has affected their family. “We have been through so much together…as your partner and as you heal, I want so very much for you to leave this very intense chronic pain chapter behind and improve your quality of life,” she wrote.

Hilaria thanked the team of professionals and praised them for working diligently to provide care and support for the famous actor as he underwent surgery.
“Grateful to Dr Davidovitch, Dr Miller, Dr Golden, Dr. Furgiuele, the nurses, pt, ot, staff and the other amazing people who so generously are bringing him safely through this,” Hilaria wrote.
Hilaria’s post generated a flurry of comments and well wishes from celebrities and fans alike, but the very first person to respond to her post was Alec himself.
“And you. Thanks to you,” he wrote to his wife. (RELATED: Paul Simon Reveals Shocking Health Update)
