(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Stephen Baldwin says his brother Alec's new girlfriend is "very sweet".

Alec began dating yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas in May this year.

The brunette beauty has clearly won over his family.

The Flyboys star is very impressed with the 28-year-old and how content she has made his older sibling.

"Alec's a lot calmer and a lot happier, he told US Weekly at SiriusXM's launch party for Studio 54 Radio in New York. "[Hilaria is] very humble, very sweet, very down-to-earth and very charming."

Alec and Hilaria's relationship raised a few eyebrows after it was revealed that there is a 25-year age gap.

But having a younger partner is doing Alec, 53, the world of good according to Stephen.

"[Alec is] looking better than ever," he announced. "And when you're looking good it's because you're feeling good, so kudos to Hilaria."

However, Stephen wasn't giving any details away about the seriousness of their relationship.

After divorcing from Kim Basinger in 2002, Stephen is certain that the 30 Rock star doesn't want to rush into anything.

"I think he's very intrigued at this point," he explained. "Alec's taking it slow. So far so good." (C) Cover Media
