In the book, Hilaria claimed the pair suffered a difficult period before and after the birth of their second child, son Rafael, in June 2015.
During that pregnancy, she said they "fought a lot" as he traveled for work, and she stayed home alone in New York with infant daughter Carmen and their dogs.
She claimed he was working so much, he even took calls and responded to emails while she was in labor.
"It really pissed me off, and I didn't hesitate to tell him so," she wrote.
Alec immediately went back to work after Rafael's premature birth, which left Hilaria "fuming" and feeling "disrespected."
"That year was probably the rockiest for us, and not just
in terms of juggling a baby and a toddler," she wrote.
"I was so focused on how I thought things should be, and Alec was so set in his ways.
"Neither one of us would budge.

She admitted they were headed for a divorce, but decided to take a step back and work on their marriage.
They eventually renewed their vows for their fifth wedding anniversary in 2017.
In 2019, Alec upgraded Hilaria's engagement ring to a 10-carat emerald-cut diamond, reportedly worth $1.2 million.

Love Island's Jamie Jewitt admits he didn't LOVE his kids when they were born – after welcoming three children
Jamie reflected on his feelings upon first becoming a dad dad struggle Love Island's Jamie Jewitt admits he didn't LOVE his kids when they were born – after welcoming three children LOVE Island star Jamie Jewitt admitted initially feeling a disconnection from his children when they were born. Reality star Jamie, 34, met and began a relationship with Camilla Thurlow on the ITV2 dating show in 2017. 4 Jamie Jewitt shares three children with wife Camilla Thurlow Credit: Instagram 4 The couple met on Love Island and married four years later Credit: The Mega Agency 4 Jamie has addressed initial challenges of fatherhood Credit: Instagram The couple married four years later and welcomed Nell, four, Nora, two and nine-month-old Brodie together. Writing on his Substack, Jamie reflected on becoming a father for the first time. He penned: "Let's talk about the moment you become a dad. The "big one". "The Hollywood moment... you're supposedly overcome with a tidal wave of love the instant your baby enters the world. Except... what if you're not?" In particular, Jamie recounted the birth of his first daughter, Nell, back in 2020. He continued: "You're standing in a room that smells like bleach and adrenaline, watching the love of your life go through something you can barely comprehend. "And then someone hands you this tiny, wrinkled screaming creature and your first thought is: "Oh... so this is it?" Admitting it had taken time to feel a bond with his kids, Jamie questioned the widespread belief that new dads should feel an instant burst of love. He wrote: "We've been fed a lie. A dangerous, damaging, and ironically, well-intentioned lie. "A mother has carried the baby for nine months. Her hormones have transformed her body, rewired her brain, and prepared her emotionally and physically for motherhood. Love Island star reveals 'toughest' health battle with pain, anxiety and depression, saying 'I broke down at the side of the road crying' "A father, by contrast, is often still adjusting to the idea that there's even going to be a baby. And yet, the expectation is that we're both supposed to experience that first moment exactly the same. Spoiler alert: we don't." Meanwhile, the star also claimed that he wasn't alone in feeling these emotions. He said: 'I didn't feel anything… at least not at first. They whisper it. They say it like it's a confession. Like they're broken, or deficient, or cold." Jamie then said fathers' hormonal shifts come later - and through day-to-day interaction with the baby. He penned: "That's the secret no one tells you: love predominantly grows in the doing. "It's in the late-night bottle feeds, the burp that hits your chest like a warm milk bomb, the moment your baby recognises your face and cracks their first real smile. "It's not love at first sight. It's a love that builds with effort, sacrifice, presence.' Jamie continued: "It didn't happen the day my child was born. It happened after weeks of showing up through the self-doubt and battles with that internal monologue. "Until one day I realised the moment had crept up on me… I had slowly and assuredly snuck into the spotlight and became a leading character in my little girl's world. "To this day my world is dedicated to becoming the best dad I can be. Not because I'm supposed to. Because I want to. Because I love them. "When I look at any of my children bleary-eyed, heart full, I realise I would do anything for them. Jamie said he hopes sharing these thoughts will help ease pressure on first-time dads. He said: "If you're a new dad and you're not feeling it yet, relax. There's nothing wrong with you. You're not broken. You're not cold. You're just not done. "Give it time. Show up. Keep showing up. Because when that connection does hit, it won't be because the world told you to feel it. It'll be because you built it."

Real reason Junior Andre stayed silent during parents' ‘embarrassing' row & why ‘sad' mum Katie will never get him back
Junior has been carrying the 'negativity and sadness' of his parents' feud for years and his mission to 'disassociate' from it all is getting harder than ever, pals claim FAMILY RIFT Real reason Junior Andre stayed silent during parents' 'embarrassing' row & why 'sad' mum Katie will never get him back FROM their sultry connection in the jungle to bitter legal feuds, Katie Price and Peter Andre's fiery war of words has spanned 16 years. And, as their recent explosive row has proved, it shows no signs of ending soon - but one person who has so far remained silent is their 20-year-old son Junior Andre. 13 Junior Andre, pictured with mum Katie Price, has so far remained tight-lipped during his parents' latest feud Credit: The Mega Agency 13 According to a source, Junior is on dad Peter Andre's side '100 per cent' Credit: Getty 13 An insider said Junior tries to 'disassociate himself as much as he can' from his mum Credit: Getty While his 18-year-old sister Princess is currently taking centre stage with her ITV documentary, The Princess Diaries, Junior prefers to keep out of all drama. According to a source, when it comes to his feuding parents, the aspiring singer is firmly on dad Peter's side, and is 'embarrassed' by former glamour model Katie. A source told Fabulous: 'Junior is on his dad's side 100 per cent. 'He has no time for his mum as harsh as that sounds. 'She represents negativity and sadness in his life and he has been trying to move away from that and heal for a long time. 'He hates how his mum is a laughing stock and tries to disassociate himself as much as he can without starting World War 3.' Junior's Instagram page, where he boasts 555,000 followers, rarely features his reality star mum. The glamour model, 47, who is currently dating Married at First Sight's JJ Slater, 32, hardly features in any of his posts, unlike his dad, 52, and Princess, whom he regularly posts pics and videos with. The insider added: 'He posts a happy birthday message to her to keep up appearances and to not ruin her day but they don't hang out much at all. 'As far as Junior is concerned, he's his dad's son. Emotional Peter Andre reveals strict rule for Princess and Junior 'His dad has brought him up and raised him to be the man he is today - he knows he wouldn't be anywhere today without his dad's love and support.' Junior moved out of Katie's infamous 'Mucky Mansion' ten years ago to live full-time with Peter and stepmum and NHS doctor Emily MacDonagh, 36, in their Surrey mansion. The pair also have their own three kids, Amelia, 11, Theo, eight, and one year-old Arabella, who they typically keep out of the spotlight. 13 Junior moved in with Pete and Emily full-time over a decade ago Credit: Getty 13 The 20-year-old is said to have found mum Katie's Mucky Mansion 'horrific' 13 Junior does birthday posts for his mum, but rarely features her on his Instagram Credit: officialjunior_andre/Instagram 13 Peter claimed in a bombshell statement that Princess and Junior were placed in his care 'for their safety' Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Emily, who has been married to Peter for ten years, features heavily in Princess' new show - while Katie was allegedly banned from filming by bosses for being 'too trashy'. And insiders say that Emily has been 'more of a conventional mum' to Junior over the years. They added: 'Junior wasn't lacking anything and so he had no need to see Katie.' Junior is said to have made the decision to avoid the notorious nine-bedroom Sussex pad - which has now been sold - as it was 'so horrific.' BOMBSHELL STATEMENT The source claimed: 'Junior hasn't had much to do with his mum in recent years. 'He totally avoided visiting her at the Mucky Mansion. He didn't want to live in squalor. 'It was constantly chaotic and the house was always full of people and this revolving door of men - and Katie's dramas.' After he left, they say Junior rarely went back to visit Katie and as she wasn't welcome at Pete's house 'they didn't see each other much' and now "he rarely visits her', despite her moving out of the squalid home. Junior was later joined by sister Princess, and it has been revealed the family courts issued a legally binding order for the living arrangement in 2019. Mysterious Girl singer Peter claimed in a bombshell statement that the pair were placed in his care "for their safety". 13 Insiders say that Emily has been 'more of a conventional mum' to Junior over the years Credit: Splash The outburst came after Katie claimed Peter and his management wouldn't allow her to do any publicity with Princess. 'Unfortunately, the management team and Pete won't allow me to be near her,' she ranted earlier this month. 'They have made it clear, they won't allow Princess to do photoshoots with me, they won't allow me to go to any events with Princess – because they think I am trash basically.' Peter then hit back at Katie's claims, slamming her in a furious Instagram statement. Peter wrote: "For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silence has been incredibly frustrating." He continued: "That ends today." 13 Mysterious Girl singer Peter wed Katie in 2005 before splitting four years later Credit: Getty This outburst is said to be out of character for Peter, who allegedly 'never bad mouths Katie in front of the children'. However, Junior, who the source claims is an 'exceptionally bright young man', has 'seen it all and come to his own conclusions'. The insider claimed that Junior was 'shocked' that Peter spoke out but 'doesn't blame him'. However, they added: 'He's really sad to see his mum and dad's feud playing out in public again. 'Obviously he's read a lot about it over the years - he's old enough to read Google.' PRIVATE LIFE While Katie famously courts the spotlight, and his sister is doing her new documentary, the 20-year-old is said to prefer a 'quiet life at home with his girlfriend'. Junior has been dating his girlfriend Jasmine Orr, 24, since last April, with their relationship going from strength-to-strength. 13 Junior has moved out and is now living with girlfriend Jasmine Orr Credit: Getty The couple have now opened up about a huge step they have taken together, while talking about the possibility of getting wed. Revealing their huge milestone to OK! Magazine in a new interview, Junior explained how he and Jasmine, who previously appeared on Celebs Go Dating in 2023, now have a place of their own. "Yes, we've moved into our own little flat together," he told the magazine. He then detailed their one-bedroom abode in Surrey, and spoke about how they are currently decorating it. Junior then gushed about wanting to spend "every day" with his girlfriend and said that they felt "ready" for the next step. 13 The couple have spoken about getting married Credit: Splash Growing up, Junior is said to have 'hated' being featured in Katie's photoshoots and TV shows. The insider added: 'He was just a young boy finding his way in life and wanted to focus on his hobbies and friends. 'He grew up embarrassed of his mum and it's hard to shake that.' Pete paid for Princess and Junior to have a private school so they have had the very best education and they are incredibly bright. The youngsters have capitalised on that schooling, with Junior releasing a No1 single and Princess signing a huge beauty deal and launching her own brand. The source added: 'Junior has protected his energy and spirit and Pete is very proud - and relieved - that he hasn't turned out to be anything like his mum.' 13 Junior is said to have 'hated' being featured in Katie's photoshoots and TV shows Credit: Getty 13 He is said to prefer a quiet life in his home with partner Jasmine Credit: ITV MOVING ON In recent months he had been impressed by Katie making changes and was looking after herself. However, the recent feud has left Junior with a 'bad taste in his mouth', according to the source. They claimed: 'Now, he feels more sorry for her. 'He's sad about it all. 'He wants to get on with his life and explore his own path, but he feels like his mum is constantly in the background casting negativity over everything. 'He thinks she just needs to get over it [not being with his dad] and move on now so everyone can get on with their lives in peace.'

Oisin Murphy can bang in my big 7-1 tip on day three of the York Ebor Festival
Blink and you might miss the big race MATT CHAPMAN Oisin Murphy can bang in my big 7-1 tip on day three of the York Ebor Festival G'Day mate. It's time for some Aussie fun at York on Friday. It's all about speedsters on the Knavesmire and Australian raider ASFOORA has every chance of going three places better than last year when she was fourth behind Bradsell in the Group 1 Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes. 1 Chappers fancies the raider from Down Under to strike gold at York on Friday Credit: Getty It promises to be a belting renewal, with the usual suspects joined by a splash of juvenile challengers in Lady Iman and Spicy Marg. Advertisement Those youngsters carry just 8st 2lb, and try and take the dash like and other two-year-olds have done like High Treason (1953), My Beau (1953), Ennis (1956), Lyric Fantasy (1992) and Kingsgate Native (2007). The day three feature is a wide open and fascinating renewal. The juveniles do get a big weight advantage, but this is a different ball game for all of them. ASFOORA is the each-way play for me. Advertisement My Henry Dwyer-trained raider hasn't been at her best recently, finishing fifth to American Affair in the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot and then seventh in the King George Qatar Stakes at Glorious Goodwood when the easy ground would have been a big negative. All accounts suggest she is working well and as a former King Charles winner she's bang in the mix class-wise. She's the one for me under Oisin Murphy. The Nunthorpe is the highlight on ITV, but there are four other races on the show starting with a handicap over 1m4f. Advertisement This race is lacking pace. For that reason, I'm going for a turn up in INSANITY, who can lead or go close to the pace if one of the big priced runners goes to the front. Insanity won well at Ayr earlier in the season and wasn't totally disgraced when third at Ascot last time. He's up 1lb for that effort but his mark of 97 is workable. Up in class next for the Group 2 Lonsdale Cup over an extended 2m. This should be simple for Ascot Gold Cup hero TRAWLERMAN, who can make all under William Buick for John & Thady Gosden. Advertisement The Godolphin front-runner has to give 3lb and more away, but he's just better than this lot and should shrug off any pace pressure from Al Qareem. Sweet William might be the danger. A big race for the juveniles in the Group 2 Gimcrack for colts over 6f. A huge chance for DO OR DO NOT who has no excuses in this for Ed Walker and Tom Marquand. First time cheekpieces are added to a maiden who has banged his head against the door in being placed here, in the Coventry, in the July Stakes and last time when third to Zavateri in the Group 2 Vintage. Advertisement He is arguably the best maiden in the country who has run a few times. Finally, a handicap for fillies and mares over an extended 1m2f. WONDER STAR might be ahead of the handicapper for William Haggas and Tom Marquand. The daughter of Sea the Stars went handicapping at Goodwood last time off a mark of 82 and ran a cracking second in a biggish field. She's up 2lb for that but I suspect it won't stop her!
