Despite the personal heartache she's suffered over the last few weeks, Hilaria Baldwin was in great spirits as she stopped by Extra in New York on Wednesday.
The wife of Alec Baldwin, who in recent days has been detailing her miscarriage ordeal on social media, put on a brave face as she posed for cameras in a casual spring-inspired outfit.
The 35-year-old yoga pro, who has four children with the SNL actor, sported a floral dress and denim jacket as she stopped by the offices along with Oscar-winner Viola Davis.

The TV appearance came after Hilaria updated her fans on her recovery from her miscarriage two weeks ago.
She has been candid about her ordeal since first revealing on Instagram that she was pregnant but believed she was about to lose her baby.
After that she underwent a D&C procedure to remove the contents of her uterus.
On Wednesday morning Hilaria posted the first sonogram of the baby she lost, along with a message about how she is coping.

She wrote: 'Since so many of you have been asking, I want to tell you that I am doing well. It has been 2 weeks since the d&c and I am physically starting to feel like myself again.
'Emotionally I am ok too...when we choose to become parents, we take a big risk with our hearts. Never do we love so intensely — and this is scary, but so worth it.
'This time, when I opened my heart up to another baby, he or she didn’t stay very long. But I love this little soul deeply and wholly. We all have a purpose in life, and I believe my little one left positivity in it’s short life.

The duo chatted in front of cameras at the Times Square studio
'I felt a deep provocation to share what was going on and, in being so open, some great conversations emerged. Creating a positive from a negative, this little flicker of life left it’s mark.
'This is an issue that so many suffer with in silence...because those are the rules we follow.
'As I have said to so many: this experience wasn't just about me and my journey, it is about anyone, perhaps you, or someone you know, who has suffered from a loss. It is about continuing a conversation, knowing we need not have shame or fear...so that we can heal...and those who will unfortunately follow will have a community to turn to.
Sharing: On Wednesday, Hilaria Baldwin shared a short video of the first sonogram of the baby she lost, just three weeks after her miscarriage
Upset: She had revealed on April 4 that she was 'likely experiencing a miscarriage' in a shocking Instagram post that featured a picture of the yoga guru cradling a tiny bump
'I came forward to share and create a spark...please help me turn this spark into a lasting flame,' she wrote.
She finished by explaining the the short video she posted was of 'the first sonogram of the baby I lost...before we could see and hear the heart'.
'I don't have a video of the heartbeat we witnessed a few times before it stopped,' she added. 'I want to share this because I feel like this little soul was mighty in the wave it provoked.'
Hilaria had been in the first trimester of her fifth pregnancy when, on April 4, she announced that she was suffering a miscarriage on Instagram.
The news was a huge surprise to fans, as the star had yet to announce that she and husband Alec Baldwin, 61, were expecting again.
The couple has four other children: five-year-old Carmen Gabriela, three-year-old Rafael Thomas, two-year-old Leonardo Ángel Charles, and 10-month-old Romeo.

Shortly after her Instagram post, she went on the Today show, where she discussed the topic more.
'You know when we agree to be parents, we have to accept the good and the bad, whether our child gets a scraped knee or gets their heartbroken when they're a teenager, or gets really sick, or god forbid something worse,' she said.
'We have to realize that it's not just all diapers and blankets and hair bows. We have to open our hearts and realize that there's going to be hard moments too.'
In an essay that she wrote for Glamour, which went live as her Today interview aired, Hilaria recalled the moment that she and Alec discovered she was expecting another child.
'When my husband and I found out I was pregnant for the fifth time, we hadn’t been actively trying, but we knew we wanted one more baby,' she wrote.
'Our youngest is only 10 months old, so at first there was a moment of, "Oh my God, we’re doing this again?!" But then came the excitement. I found out my due date; my body began changing and I started dreaming: Will it be a boy or a girl? What will we name him or her?
News: Prior to the Instagram post about her potential miscarriage, Hilaria and Alec Baldwin had not revealed they were expecting another child together
'Then, sometime before 10 weeks, I went in for an ultrasound. I know my technician so well — I’ve had four children under her care — but at this appointment she was silent. Every hopeful pregnant woman dreads this silence. She listened to the heartbeat again and again, taking new measurements, not really saying anything. I’m sure it was simply minutes, but it felt like an eternity.
'And I just knew: Oh no, something is wrong. The heartbeat was too slow for a healthy pregnancy, so she told me to come back in a week for another scan to see whether things improved.
'I heard the che-goom, che-goom, che-goom of the heartbeat, hopeful that it sounded faster than last time. “I can’t lie to you,” she said. “It’s not. The embryo does not seem to be growing."'
Later, after going to the doctor again, she confirmed what she had sensed.
'There was no heartbeat today at my scan… so it’s over…but I have some pretty strong and amazing heartbeats right here,' Hilaria wrote.
'I am surrounded by such love and I feel so fortunate. Thank you all for listening, for your support, and for sharing your own personal stories. We are stronger together…'
Updates: Hilaria, 35, had posted selfies from what is thought to have been a D&C appointment on April 10
