Alec Baldwin has been urging wife Hilaria Baldwin to do “Dancing With The Stars” "for a long time,” according to the star.

"Alec has been wanting me to do this show for a long time and I'm like, ‘I have kids. Like, I can't. I can't do this,’” she told “Extra.”

"And so, they called me and we just looked at each other and I was like, ‘Guess we're all going to L.A.’"

Hilaria admitted she's "terrified" of the new season, which will also feature the likes of Corey Feldman, Danielle Fishel and Robert Irwin.

“There's some very, very talented people here this year I'm scared. I'm going to be honest,” she told the outlet.

She continued, "I'm terrified. I'm excited and I'm going to soak up every single moment because this is such a dream come true, and I'm scared.”

Despite her nerves, the podcaster and yoga instructor insisted she will be doing her best to "enjoy every moment" on the show.

“We want to work hard, have fun, right? Enjoy every moment,” she said. "It's not a race, it's a marathon. We're going to take a week at a time and just hopefully create some incredible routines and memorable dances.”

“Dancing with the Stars” season 34 premieres Tuesday, Sept. 16, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and simulcast on Disney+. The show streams the next day on Hulu.
