Kris Jenner and Alec Baldwin Support Hilaria at Dancing With the Stars

Kris Jenner made a memorable entrance at the Dancing With the Stars ballroom, lending her support to Hilaria Baldwin as she aims for the coveted mirrorball trophy.

The 69-year-old Kardashian matriarch was seen enthusiastically cheering on Baldwin, 41, and her dancing partner, Gleb Savchenko, during the taping on Tuesday, September 30. Jenner was surrounded by Baldwin’s family, including her husband, Alec Baldwin, and several of their children.

For the occasion dubbed TikTok Night, Hilaria and Savchenko, 42, dazzled the judges with a samba set to “Shake It to the Max (Fly) [Remix]” by Moily, Silent Addy, Skillibeng, and Shenseea. Responses from the judges were decidedly mixed, with Carrie Ann Inaba noting that the late Len Goodman “would have loved” their act, though Hilaria’s “musicality was off.” Ultimately, they scored 22 out of 30 points.

Since the kickoff of DWTS Season 34 earlier this month, Hilaria has been open about the support she receives from her inner circle. The author and mother of seven shared with Us Weekly following her week 2 performance that “it definitely takes a village” to manage her busy life.

Hilaria remarked, “One of my friends came out here. I have my two nannies out here that are really helping me, and that’s incredible. Alec is doing a movie somewhere, so he’s coming and going, and I have a great community here,” during her chat with Us on September 23.

While Hilaria dedicates time to her dance ambitions, she emphasizes her role as a mother and sets an inspiring example for her children. “I think it’s a really good example for them to learn that they can follow their dreams,” she stated. “I’m happy that they’re able to see me happy. It’s been a hard past few years, and I think that they need to see their mom with this kind of joy.”

In an interesting twist of fate, Jenner previously found herself on the other side of the dance floor when her daughter Kim Kardashian competed in season 7 of DWTS alongside pro Mark Ballas, finishing in 11th place. Reflecting on her own short-lived ballroom experience, Kardashian recently opened up during an episode of The Kardashians while watching her daughter North, 12, prepare for a performance of The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl. “I couldn’t be prouder and more nervous and emotional—I’m gonna cry the whole time,” Kim admitted while in her daughter’s dressing room.

Kardashian humorously remarked, however, that she’s not ready to take her mother’s “momager” crown just yet. “I’m not prepared for my pantsuit and my short haircut,” she teased. “But if there’s one thing she wants to do here or there that makes sense, we’ll consider it. And I loved this for [North].”

Reflecting on North’s performance and her own past, Kardashian candidly stated, “Absolutely not. I couldn’t do what she’s doing on Dancing With the Stars at 30, so no.”

Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ every Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.
