From 1993 to 2002, she was married to actor Alec Baldwin, with whom she later engaged in a long legal custody battle regarding their child. After separating from Baldwin, she had a relationship with the rap artist and actor Eminem.

The small town of Braselton, Georgia, was bought by Basinger in 1989 for $20 million, with the hopes of establishing the town as a tourist attraction with movie studios and a film festival, but she met financial difficulties and sold it in 1993. The town is now owned by developer Wayne Mason.
