While speaking with SiriusXM’s Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, Andy admitted they had a discussion a couple years ago.

“Well, we actually had a discussion with her a little while ago about [joining Real Housewives of New York City],” he told Kelly Ripa. “No, she’s not a new real housewife and it was just, I would say it was an exploratory conversation and it didn’t go much further, but it is certainly an interesting idea, but it was funny because I read that Kyle [Richards] had said that on your podcast, and I thought, ‘Oh, well that’s funny,’ because we actually, we did speak to her a couple years ago.”

Kelly also asked if Andy ever thought about doing a show with just Alec and Hilaria, and their children.

“Not a bad idea. I wonder how Alec would feel about surrendering control of his portrayal to someone else,” Andy replied. “I think that’s a good [idea], I think that’s, Keeping Up With the Baldwins. Keeping Up With the Baldwinitos.”

This comes several months after Alec opened up on the same podcast about possibly getting into reality television.

Andy‘s Let’s Talk Off Camera appearance was also recorded before the just announced news that Alec and Hilaria will be starring in their own TLC reality show!
