Hilaria Baldwinis celebrating the night she andAlec Baldwinmet.
On Sunday, the mother of seven shared a photo on Instagram of her and Baldwin, 64, at a New York City restaurant that she wrote was taken “probably a yearish after” she first met the actor.
“12 years ago, this night, we met,” Hilaria, 39, wrote in the caption to her post, which shows Baldwin cuddling up to her inside a restaurant. “What a journey we have had been through, to, in, and around and continuing…every emotional place I don’t think either one of us could have ever predicted.”
“This photo is probably a yearish after we met???” she added, tagging the restaurant and adding that her and Baldwin appear “both much younger and less🥴” in the photo.
Hilaria’s post comes amid continued fallout over Baldwin’s involvement in the 2021 on-set death of ofRustcinematographerHalyna Hutchins. On Monday, the Santa Fe District Attorney’s Officeannouncedthat prosecutorsdropped the firearms enhancement chargeoriginally brought against the actor/producer.
Had Baldwin been convicted of the involuntary manslaughter and firearms enhancement charges, he would have faced a mandatory five years in jail. He stillfaces a charge of involuntary manslaughterfor the shooting — that crime would carry a lesser sentence of 18 months if convicted. The amended complaint was filed late Friday.

In a statement to PEOPLE on Jan. 19, Baldwin’s attorney Luke Nikas of Quinn Emanuel said the announcement of criminal charges against the actor “distorts Halyna Hutchins' tragic death andrepresents a terrible miscarriage of justice.”
In a January episode of Hilaria’s podcastWitches Anonymous, sheopened up about the support her family has receivedin the wake of the news, even saying the family “would crumble” without that support.
“It’s been an emotionaltime for my familyand I do so want to express to you how grateful I am for your support and your kindness and your reason,” she said during the podcast. “Quite honestly, without it, we would crumble. So thank you so much for being our rock right now because I don’t feel so strong.”
