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. "I took my rings off as a sign that I was potentially ready to walk." At the time, Hilaria wore a four-carat round-cut diamond engagement ring.

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. The couple welcomed five more children, and have now been married for almost 13 years. In her book, Hilaria also touched on accusations she faked her Spanish accent and background. In addition, she detailed how she and Alec handled the aftermath of the Rust shooting. Alec's involuntary manslaughter charge was dismissed in July 2024, nearly three years after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed on the film's New Mexico set. Hilaria supported Alec in the courtroom, and burst into tears and embraced him when the judge delivered her ruling.
