Somehow, Alec Baldwin scored a double date with Jackie Kennedy in the early 1990s. Singer Carly Simon — who was great friends with the first lady before she died in 1994 — told the story of that eventful night in her 2019 memoir, “Touched by the Sun: My Friendship with Jackie” (via People). In need of a plus one for a Broadway show with Simon and her husband, Kennedy agreed to be on Baldwin’s arm for the night. The “You’re So Vain” singer claims the group donned wigs to hide their identities before they went out on the town.
When rumors first began swirling about the date in 2017, the actor set the record straight on “The Howard Stern Show.” He insisted the rendezvous was completely platonic, and the socialite in her 60s was no “cougar.” In fact, Baldwin revealed that she mostly asked him for acting advice for her son, John F. Kennedy, Jr.. The actor-producer was also in a relationship with future wife, actor Kim Basinger.

“If I was single and I was on my own, would I have had a fling with Jackie Kennedy?” he joked on the radio show. “It’s hard to say. I don’t know. Maybe.” Either way, Simon wrote in her memoir that Jackie later gushed about the “magical evening” and how fun it was to “cavort like a child now and again.” Sometimes former presidents’ wives just wanna have fun!
