On February 9, 2023, Baldwin filed for divorce from the Manhattan Supreme Court. The announcement follows her battle with Covid-19 during the 2020 pandemic and her retirement from CNN, where she had worked for a long time. Speaking on her departure from the network in 2021, she said in a 2021 podcast that she was hesitant to work in a place where men were in charge and that she struggled to get out stories that were all about women. The journalist went on to say that most of her superiors were men.
