It was a good night for Alec Baldwin — not only did he win outstanding male actor in a comedy series for 30 Rock, the date on his arm was none other than 13-year-old daughter Ireland Eliesse!
The pair have put aside any hard feelings after an explosive voicemail from the actor to his daughter almost two years ago.
Ireland is Alec’s daughter with his ex-wife, actress Kim Basinger.
Did the voicemail really have to be mentioned? It’s obviously in the past.
Ireland looks really pretty.
- Natasha on
Stunning.
- Tracy on
shes THIRTEEN!ohh my Lord!!shes really pretty!
- Blackrose on
Wow she is gorgeous! I watched the show last night and figured she was his daughter. She looks older than 13 years old.
- Tam on
I know this sounds horrible and I DO NOT mean for it to sound mean in any way shape or form, but I thought she was pregnant. It looked like a little baby bump. I didn’t even know who she was or that she was thirteen!I just glanced at the picture!
She is really pretty!! 
- Keri on
She is so pretty
but she looks really old for a thirteen year old.
- Vanessa on
She looks gorgeous! So much older than 13!
- G on
Oh My, she is stunning and does not look her age! I had to look at Alec’s IMDB page to see how tall he is (5′-11″), she is built like a model…
- Jillian on
How tall is this gorgeous young lady?!
- lizzie on
A bit too stunning for a 13-year-old…
- Rachel on
She is a beautiful girl but I would not allow my daughter to wear a dress like that at her age.
- Gina on
Wow, You can tell she comes from Model genes! Beautiful girl.
- morgan on
She is absolutely gorgeous! SO glad to see that they now have a good relationship!
- HeatherR on
Wow, really? She’s gorgeous, but she looks so much older than 13!!
- Alice on
She looks much older than thirteen, I actually thought she was pregnant when I first looked. She looks great though.
- liv on
Beautiful young lady. She looks much older than 13 and she looks exactly like Alec.
- Haylo on
Is she really 13? I thought she was like 16, or 18. Is the number correct, or does she just look a lot older than her age?
She’s beautiful. She seems to resemble both parents.
- Mia on
She is so statuesque and gorgeous!
- J to tha Da on
Pretty, yes. but for a 13 year old, its a bit much.
The dress with a halter top style does not seem appropriate to me. and IMO I dont think a 13 year old should be colouring their hair. maybe as a 27 year old I am too old-fashioned. I just feel she looks more like 23 rather then 13.
- chaunessey on
she is tall, but if you look at pictures from that evening, she is wearing heels.
- chaunessey on
there is no way she is thirteen. me and my friend were debating this yesterday while watching. there is no way.
- katykat on
Keri…don’t worry, I thought the same things.
- jasmine on
She is really pretty, but I also think she looks more like 28 years old rather than 13!! I also thought she looked pregnant before I saw her age.
- Stéph on
in another picture on another website, she looks just like her mother. she is one gorgeous girl, i wish id looked that goood at thirteen
- hilary on
Natasha — I agree. Bringing up the voicemail is entirely unnecessary. I expected people to be making comments about it, not to see it in the headline…
She is just gorgeous, though!
- Kerri on
omg i’m 17 years old nd she looks much older than me… i think it’s the dark dress and the dark hair… in other way, she looks gourgeous
- camille on
What a beautiful girl Ireland is! Tall like mom but I see a lot of Alec in her.
Kerri, the headline says Ireland Baldwin steps out with dad. I don’t see any mention of the voicemail there. Of course it would be mentioned in the body of the story, it was a big deal when it happened and although I love Alec on 30 Rock and watch every week, that is what I think about when I see him and Ireland. Seems silly to sweep an elephant in the room under the rug but that is JMO.
Anyhow, a very nice photo of both.
- April on
She’s pretty – her hair is much darker than her natural, dirty-blond color – but with her bangs and color it is very dramatic. Wonder if she’ll follow in her parent’s footsteps….
- Cece on
Ireland is beautiful…with the best features from both Mom and Dad!
- Sarah on
April – My mistake, I didn’t mean headline…I meant body, text, etc. It doesn’t have to be swept under the rug, but it seemed a little out of place. And this site tends not to be all about the drama…I was surprised to see it thrown in.
- Kerri on
What a beautiful, beautiful girl! And it’s so nice to see them out together after the difficulties we’d heard about them having in the past.
I think in her face and her body shape (still childish, not fully mature in shape) she looks her age very much.
- emma on
lizzie, Alec said in an interview from last year that she was 5’10. She might have grown more since then, at her age, but I think it would mostly be the heels lifting her higher than her daddy. Gorgeous girl, got the best parts of both her parents. Looks like she got Alec’s nose and eyes.
- Carina on
She looks way older than 13! She is very tall & pretty, wow I thought she was 18.
- Meggy on
I don’t see what the big deal is. I myself always looked older. Even when I was 2, people thought I belonged in kindergarten. By the time I was 13, I looked 18. Some of us just age differently than others, not to mention the height makes her seem older and again, something she can’t help. Now that I’m 25, I look my age.
I don’t think the dress is “inappropriate”. She looks perfectly normal, and as far as coloring her hair goes, let her get it out of her system at a young age. My mom never had a problem with me getting piercings, dying my hair, getting tattoos because the way she saw it…at least I wasn’t out getting pregnant or drunk or doing drugs.
- Robyn on
She’s beautiful! And yes, in this picture for sure she looks much older than 13, but I’ve seen other candid shots of her out on the beach with her dad, or running errands with her mom, and she looks 13 or 14 in them. I think her looking older here is mostly because of the makeup, and with her hair coloured and the blunt bangs, it makes her face look older too. It’s not a bad thing, it’s nice that she got to get so dressed up for a night out with her dad! All I mean to say is that in pictures where she’s not dressed up like she is here, she looks her age.
Either way she is stunning! And I’m from Ireland so maybe it’s because I have a bit of a pull towards it, but I love her name!
- alice jane on
Ireland has really blossomed into a beautiful young lady! I see both of her parents in her features. With her looks and her tall, slim build, it wouldn’t surprise if she was already receiving offers to model. Especially, after these pics.
- CTBmom on
They were interviewed on the red carpet last night and she said she was wearing one of her moms dresses.
She is a stunning 13 yr old. (Not a tacky – IMO – 13 like LiLo’s little sister)
- Christine on
She is a very stunning young lady. She comes by it naturally as her mother was always a beauty.
I, unfortunately, have never been a big fan of Alec. He is a “little too larger than life” for my taste. Seems to be very verbose and gives off the vibe that he is very opinionated like it’s his way or the highway. JMHO
- claudiazz on
I think she looks older because she’s dressed up and everything.
I’m 17 and look young for my age, but if I was wearing what she was, I’d look older.
But she is very pretty!!
- tam on
She looks quite a bit like her Mom, but that nose, smile and lips are definitely like her Daddy’s.
I feel for her — at 13 people thought I was 19 or 20. I am now 17 and everyone thinks I am at least 24. It’s NOT fun. I try to make myself look younger, it’s pretty much impossible. I am 5’9″, and I’m guessing she is somewhere in that height range.
I like the dark hair, not a lot of natural blonds can pull off dark hair, most end up looking trashy — she however pulls it off well, looks great on her!
I do however think the dress is a tad much at 13.
- Mae on
She looks older than 13, more like 20yrs old. She’s cute though, looks mostly like the baldwins with her mom’s smile.
- Gianna on
When I first saw Ireland last night I thought she was amazingly beautiful for a 13 year old. Alec said she was 5’9 and was wearing really high heels. I don’t see anything wrong with the way she was dressed since she doesn’t dress that way on a regular basis.
A few years ago, I was on vacation with my 13 year old niece in South Beach. I knew my niece looked older than her years but I really noticed it when she was on the beach and guys were practically falling down trying to get over to where we were to talk to her. She, of course, loved the attention but all I needed to say was “She’s 13″ and they all scattered!!!! Cracked me up but she was a bit annoyed with Auntie!!!
Anyway, Ireland is stunning and she will only get better looking. Hope she stays away from the “Young Hollywood” crowd. I’m happy to see she appears to be pretty normal, which I find amazing given her family history.
- mslewis on
I think a 13 year old should dress like a 13 year old, esp. in Hollywood where kids usually grow up too quickly to begin with.
- Godiva on
Ireland is a really pretty girl – I imagine she’s tall because both of her parents are. It’s lovely to see her obviously enjoying her dad’s company again now after all the troubles a couple of years back. Let’s hope that’s all in the past.
- Emma on
My first thought was Wow Ireland has really REALLY grown up since I last saw a photo of her, and then my jaw dropped when I read that she’s 13 ????
Wow, I’d be a watchful Daddy if I was Alec – she’s stunning.
Great genes obviously!
- Kelpy on
looking closely i think she looks 13… her posture, smile, etc. i too was someone who looked much older around 13, 14. then i didn’t age apparently – and still get carded at R rated movies at 28!
- meghan on
Wow, this girl certainly got the best from both parents. She’ll definitely have a career in show biz, if she wants it, and she probably will. Looks much older than 13 (when I saw them on TV, I thought she was his date!), although probably because of the makeup and dress. When shes dressed normally, she probably looks like any other teen girl. I also like the hair color. Not very often you see blonds go for darker hair, but on her it looks great.
- sillyme on
What a beauty! I don’t think I’ve ever seen pictures of her. She is stunning! I don’t think the dress is “inappropriate” or anything. She looks classy and beautiful. She is dressed up for the occasion, which might be the reason why she looks much older than 13. She’s very beautiful and I’m really glad she came with Alec and they have put their differences aside.
And, as a 21-year-old woman who constantly gets mistaken for a 15-year-old, I know the exact opposite of the spectrum! Oh, well. When I’m 30, people will think I’m 20 so it will all work out for me!
- Stephany on
I’m glad they have worked out their differences. It was quite a nasty voicemail. Every girl needs her dadddy!
And she is GORGEOUS! doesn’t even look close to 13, but I bet she doesn’t dress like this everyday. If I was going to a red carpet event, I’d be dressed to the nines too!
- Jae on
She’s definitely stunning. I saw a clip of them on the red carpet and they were cute together. One of the reporters asked who she was wearing and she said “I don’t know. Something from my Mom’s closet.” Personally I’d rather see her with the halter style top than something that’s very short. The dress fits her well (ie nothing hanging out that shouldn’t be) which is what’s important. IMO
- kris on
She’s clearly very beautiful, and I see so much more of dad in her than mum. I think the dress is a bit too old for her, but it’s not showing off too much flesh, so it’s okay-ish. Plus she is out with her dad, it’s not like she’s going to be in bars later. At that height, she’ll have model written all over her before long!
- phoebe on
Just delightful to see the two out together. If anyone has ever been in a relationship through divorce, things do get nasty….recording that phone call was just not necessary. Things get said in anger and they can be forgiven and forgotten. Alec is a wonderful actor, Kim is a wonderful actress, let’s forget the past indiscretions and move forward for Ireland’s sake and hope that they can make this part of their lives more productive and positive. They BOTH look fabulous!!!
- Robin on
I’m glad Alec is doing so well in his career and so glad to see him with his daughter!
- Bugs on
Does everyone keep their private voicemail for 2 years later.. To talk about it.. Why not get with the flow.. and talk about today..
She really enjoyed his speech about her on the Golden Globes..
- Jared Snyard on
I don’t know about you but I’d have her chipped and locked in a tower for the next 5 years lol. She’s a beautiful girl but God that’d scare me. I’m 25 and only 5’2 lol, I have the problem in reverse as I look younger. My brother was a lot like Ireland though, in 5th grade he was 5’9.
- Harley on
Keep in mind she is probably wearing high heels.
- mrslizmc on
I had a funny moment on the phone with my mom during the SAG Awards, I asked her if she noticed the lovely young lady sitting next to him and she said “Oh yeah, was that his daughter or what?” She was joking and was absolutely stunned when I told her that she really was his daughter, she had assumed he was dating a much younger woman! I’m sure she wasn’t the only one.
- Jeanne on
Claudiazz, I think you’re thinking of Parker, the crazily positive guy from Friends that Alec played? I’m sure Alec is not like that (despite the voicemail!)
Anyway, daughter Ireland is beautiful, although I’m not a fan of her name!
- babyboopie on
Well I wish I had that problem of looking older!! I’m 24 and I look like I’m 16!! I’ve always looked young and certainly didn’t look anything like Ireland at 13! I also am very short which doesn’t help! But I’d kill to atleast look older enough to get into the bar!!
I knew Ireland was young but in those pictures I’d def. put her in the 18-19 range! She does look older but remember she’s tall, in a gown with heels, and has lots of makeup on so of course she’s going to look a bit older. But I compare her to other girls close to her age like Emerson Rose (Teri Hatcher’s daughter) and Luca Bella (Jennie Garth’s daughter) and she certainly does appear much older.
- JM on
She looks gorgeous but indeed much older than her actual age. I would never let my 13 year old wear that in a million years! 
- Nika on
She’s beautiful, but I think she should dress a little more age appropriate. I’ve seen other pictures of her and I usually think it’s some random model until I read the description box.
- asm1976 on
Kerri, I agree with you about the voicemail reference. That incident happened two years ago and it was a private matter, the fact that it is brought you after so many years and after they have made up is really tacky. They both look so happy together. You don’t have to throw mud on a clean sheet to remind people that it can get or was dirty.
Anyway when I first saw him at the SAG awards I thought, Wow is Alec is dating a 20 year old? I had no idea it was his daughter.
- LolaCola on
Claudiazz, Alec apparently is just how you think. I remember when they first separated, Kim Basinger said that she didn’t even get to plan her own wedding. He took control over the wedding plans as well as other things. Seems like a very difficult guy to get along with. I know a lot of guys just like that.
- asm1976 on
she is beautiful
- nikki,chicago,27 on
Thank God she does not look like her mother.
Let’s also hope she does not have her mothers attitude, if so, poor Alec will have his hands full.
She is a beautiful child.
- Pam on
I must be really getting old, lol. I thought Ireland’s outfit was a bit inappropriate for a 13-year old what with the bare back and deep neckline plus all the make-up she is wearing. I guess I just feel today’s children are growing up so fast and exposing and painting their bodies a bit too early like Ireland is here.
- DLR in Canada on
She got the best of looks from Mom & Dad…Thirteen, is she 6′ tall? Go get it girl!!!
- nearlynormalized on
Does anyone else think she looks alot like Amber Tamblyn? (Joan of Arcadia, Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants)? It might be the hair cut. In any case, I think she looks great, and alot like her mom.
- Amanda on
A really beautiful girl but she is dressed way too old for her age. I actually thought she was Alec’s girlfriend. I thought she looked a little like Kim which I thought was funny.
She needs to dress a little more appropriately for her age. She does look like a model with that provocative pose.
- Peach on
ireland is actually about 5 11 but she says she’s not but she is and well she is wearing heels in the pic but their low ones
- bff on
beautiful girl. i thought it was a typo when they said she was 13. i think she looks like a nineteen year old here. i feel that her look for the red carpet is totally acceptable and actually quite nice. when you are going to a black tie event, it’s a sign of respect not only to yourself but to others as well if you look presentable. the dress isn’t too short, her boobs aren’t hanging out and even the make-up is pretty much minimal for this ocassion. we have to remember, she has to wear alot of make up for it to even show a tad on film or photo. overall, i loved the look. the hair worked really well with her face. and so what if she looks too mature for her age here? her other pictures aren’t like that so let a girl have fun once in a while. =D
