Much love ✨

Hilaria previously made mention of the first night she and Alec met in a Feb. 20 Instagram post in which she marked 12 years since their first encounter.

At the time, the yoga instructor shared a photo of her and Alec cuddling up inside a restaurant as she wrote: “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.
