After over 14 years, Kim Basinger is finally spilling the tea on her contentious divorce from Alec Baldwin.

The Hollywood veterans finalized their split in 2002 but not before getting into a nasty custody battle over their daughter, Ireland.

But according to the Oscar winning actress, the duo have since miraculously mended their severed relationship.

“(Alec and I are) cool now, though. Life goes on,” she told Net-a-Porter‘s magazine The Edit.

She also disclosed how the breakup affected how she raised the couple’s daughter.

“Divorce is hard on a kid, no matter how you cut it,” the 62-year-old added. “And ours was very public and nasty. So I brought up Ireland in a very unconventional way. I just wanted her to be free. If she wanted to have her friends over and write over the walls with pen, that was fine. I wanted her childhood to be full of love and light and animals and friends.”

Kim and Alec met while filming the 1990 film The Marrying Man and tied the knot in 1993. After nearly eight years of marriage, the actress filed for divorce in 2001 citing irreconcilable differences.

The 8 Mile star was previously married to makeup artist Ron Snyder-Britton and is currently dating her hairstylist, Mitch Stone.

Alec has since married Spanish yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas. They have two children and a third on the way.

Alec and Kim’s daughter Ireland, 21, has gone on to become a successful fashion model.
