Kristin Davis candidly admits Alec Baldwin's massive Hamptons home made her reconsider breakup
Kristin Davis has shared the 'embarrassing' reason she was torn over breaking up with Alec Baldwin in the early 2000s.
The Sex and the City alum appeared on Rob Lowe 's Literally! With Rob Lowe podcast on Thursday where she discussed her relationship with the 30 Rock star.
'This is the thing. Alec Baldwin was so rich by the time I dated Alec Baldwin, OK? Can I just say that straight out,' Davis told Lowe. 'Like one of the best things about Alec Baldwin when I dated him is that he had the most incredible house in Amagansett.'
She recalled her hesitancy about breaking up with Baldwin because of the Hamptons property, despite her reservations about their relationship.
'I remember I was at work and I was like, 'Sarah Jessica [Parker], I just don't know if it's going to work out with Alec and I, but I just really love that house,' the And Just Like That… actor said. 'Which is literally one of the only times I have felt that way, do you know? When I'm like, 'I don't want to break up with this person because I like his house.' It's so embarrassing to say that out loud, but it's true.'
Baldwin went on to marry his current wife Hilaria in 2012 after his previous marriage to Kim Basinger. While Davis has never married, she did adopt two children: her daughter Gemma in 2011 and her son Wilson in 2018.
Davis also told Lowe that the 30 Rock alum was not the actor who ghosted her after she loaned them $5,000. 'I never would have had to lend Alec $5,000, my God,' she said.
During an episode of her podcast, Are You A Charlotte?, last month, Davis revealed that an actor she once dated, who is now 'very successful,' 'ghosted' her after she lent them money.
'A long time ago I was ghosted. I don't know exactly. It's hard to define the term 'ghosting.' I think it was when there were cellphones,' she said.
'I did one time date this out-of-work actor. I think this was before Sex and the City. He's now very successful. He's very talented. But at the time, I had money because I had been working,' she continued. 'And I was at his house and he had all of these like, 'Your electricity is going to be turned off' notices that you get when you can't pay your bills.'
'I was like, 'Can I lend you some money?'' Davis remembered asking him. 'Horrible mistake. Anyone listening, do not lend anyone money that you are dating. It doesn't end well. It really irked me.'

Chris Pratt and Nick Offerman mourn death of 'Parks and Recreation' castmate Jonathan Joss
Chris Pratt and Nick Offerman paid tribute to their "Parks and Recreation" castmate Jonathan Joss following the actor's death this week. Joss was fatally shot in front of his San Antonio, Texas, home on Sunday by one of his neighbors, police said. He was 59. The actor had a recurring role as Chief Ken Hotate in the hit NBC sitcom. "Damn. RIP Jonathan. Always such a kind dude," Pratt, who had his breakthrough role as Andy Dwyer in the series, wrote on his Instagram story on Monday. "Sad to see. Prayers up. Hug your loved ones." Offerman, who starred in "Parks and Recreation" as Ron Swanson, told People magazine on Tuesday that he and other co-stars have been in contact since Joss' death. "The cast has been texting together about it all day and we're just heartbroken," Offerman said. "Jonathan was such a sweet guy and we loved having him as our Chief Ken Hotate. A terrible tragedy." "Sex and the City" star Cynthia Nixon, who was not on the sitcom, also paid her respects to Joss. She shared an image of the late actor on Instagram on Tuesday. "Was devastated to learn of the killing last night of the wonderfully talented actor and musician Jonathan Joss, who my family and I enjoyed so much in Parks and Recreation," she wrote. Nixon also repeated claims by Joss' husband that the actor was targeted because of his sexuality. "We will not let this stand," she said. The San Antonio Police Department said in a statement on Monday there was "no evidence" that Joss' killing was motivated by hate, but said the suspect would be charged accordingly "should any new evidence come to light." Conversations with Joss' neighbors and several police reports of prior incidents between Joss and the man arrested for his killing — Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja — paint a complicated picture of what led to the fatal shooting. Joss and Ceja were in a heated back and forth for years that was being mediated by a police crime prevention unit, according to police records and statements shared with NBC News. Ceja could not be reached for comment. The 56-year-old does not have a lawyer, according to the Bexar County District Clerk's Office. In addition to his role on "Parks and Recreation," Joss was also known for his role as John Redcorn in Fox's animated sitcom 'King of the Hill.' The animated series was rebooted and will premiere on Hulu in August, with Joss returning as Redcorn

Tulisa to recount drugs trial in new memoir detailing her career highs and lows
Tulisa to recount drugs trial in new memoir detailing her career highs and lows The pop singer, 36, who found fame in hip-hop trio N-Dubz, was arrested on suspicion of supplying class A drugs in 2013 Tulisa Contostavlos (Image: GETTY ) Tulisa Contostavlos has announced a new memoir that will detail the highs and "unimaginable lows" of her music career, including her collapsed drugs trial in 2014. The pop singer, 36, who found fame in hip-hop trio N-Dubz, was arrested on suspicion of supplying class A drugs in 2013, but the charges were later dismissed after prosecution witness, "fake sheikh" journalist Mazher Mahmood, was found guilty of tampering with evidence in the trial. The book, titled Judgement, has been written using journals that Contostavlos wrote in amid the media storm following the sting operation that saw Mahmood pose as a wealthy film producer called Samir Khan. In an Instagram video on Tuesday, Contostavlos said: "90% of this no one has ever known. "The story of my year in 2013 has been spoken about many times, but it has never been told in the way that it's told in my new book. "This is living all the juiciest moments from behind the scenes. This book will have you crying one moment, on the edge of your seat the next." Article continues below She added: "I have given absolutely all of myself in this book, it's Sex And The City on a drugs charge." She wrote in the caption: "As you all know, I've been through the highs and some unimaginable lows in my career. "For the first time, I'm sharing everything. The truth, the pain, the fallout, and the strength I discovered when my world fell apart." The singer had been accused of arranging for Mahmood to be sold more than £800 worth of cocaine by one of her contacts following an elaborate sting for The Sun On Sunday in 2013. During a meeting at a hotel in London, Mahmood posed as a film producer and plied Contostavlos with alcohol as they discussed an acting role alongside Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio. Following the collapse of the trial Contostavlos said "I have never dealt drugs and never been involved in taking or dealing cocaine" in a statement where she also accused Mahmood of a "horrific and disgusting entrapment". In 2016 Mahmood was jailed for tampering with evidence in the collapsed drugs trial when the "King of the Sting" and his driver Alan Smith, were found guilty of plotting to pervert the course of justice. Publishing director, Ciara Lloyd, who has acquired UK and Commonwealth rights to the book, said: "When I read Tulisa's proposal, I knew instantly that I wanted to publish her. "I remember the infamous 'Fake Sheikh' trial well and how unfairly Tulisa was treated, a story that highlighted the bias and misogyny in the press, and in our society. "So, to give a voice to Tulisa and her story as well as showcase her phenomenal talent as a writer is a real privilege. "This is the perfect redemption story for the original Female Boss, and I'm so proud to be publishing her at Blink." Contostavlos is most known for singing in hip-hop group N-Dubz who had hits with songs including I Need You, Girls and Number 1, featuring Tinchy Stryder. In 2011 she became a judge on popular reality singing series The X Factor and a year later she released her debut solo album, The Female Boss. She also released the book, Honest: My Story So Far: The Official Autobiography, in 2012, which detailed her life growing up on a council estate in London, to making music with N-Dubz, and helping girl group Little Mix win The X Factor in 2011. The singer from Camden most recently appeared on the 2024 season of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. Article continues below Judgement will publish in hardback, ebook and audio in August 2025 from Blink Publishing.
