LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kristin Davis is opening up about an unusual reason she was reluctant to end her relationship with Alec Baldwin in the early 2000s.

During a guest appearance on the Thursday, February 26, episode of the 'Literally! With Rob Lowe' podcast, the actress admitted that Baldwin’s impressive Hamptons estate was a significant factor in her hesitation.

Speaking about dating Baldwin, Davis recalled, “One of the best things about Alec Baldwin when I dated him is that he had the most incredible house in Amagansett."

The 'Beetlejuice' star owned a luxurious property that left a lasting impression on her.

“I remember I was at work, and I was like, ‘Sarah Jessica [Parker], I just don’t know if it’s going to work out with Alec and I, but I just really love that house,’” the 'And Just Like That' actress explained.

She admitted that this was “literally one of the only times” she felt torn about a breakup for material reasons.

Davis confessed that her reason felt “embarrassing” to say out loud, but she acknowledged it was true.

“I didn’t want to break up with this person because I liked his house,” she added, laughing at the memory.

Elsewhere in the podcast, Davis clarified that Baldwin was not the ex-boyfriend she had referred to in a previous episode of her 'Are You a Charlotte?' podcast where she revealed she had once been ghosted after lending a former partner $5,000.

“Oh, my God. I never would have had to lend Alec $5,000, my God,” Davis told Lowe, putting any speculation to rest, according to OK Magazine.
