AceShowbiz - Halyna Hutchins' husband has seemingly moved on, less than two years after her tragic passing. Matthew Hutchins, the widower of the late photographer who was accidentally gunned down by Alec Baldwin on the set of "Rust" in 2021, was caught kissing another woman 18 months after the shooting incident.
Matthew was spotted cozying up to his apparent new flame during a stroll in Los Angeles earlier this week. The lawyer and film producer was seen still wearing his wedding ring during the outdoor outing at Griffith Observatory in the city on Monday, April 24.
In pictures obtained by The Post, the pair appeared smitten as they strolled around the scenic overlook while holding hands. Matthew was seen putting his hand on her back at one point and they would stop to share an embrace and kiss. The lovebirds were also seen making out while sitting on a bench.
The woman has been identified as Katie Flynn. According to her LinkedIn profile, Katie is a video production coordinator at the observatory. She graduated with a degree in meteorology from Central Michigan University in 2015.
It's not clear how long the two have been together, but their sighting comes in the wake of charges against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting being dropped. On April 20, the actor's lawyers announced that criminal charges against him had been dropped by prosecutors.
Alec's attorneys Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro said in a statement, "We are pleased with the decision to dismiss the case against Alec Baldwin and we encourage a proper investigation into the facts and circumstances of this tragic accident."
Celebrating the news, the "30 Rock" alum shared a picture of him with his wife Hilaria as he said he owes "everything" to her. "I owe everything I have to this woman," he captioned the snap, adding, "And to you, Luke," in an apparent reference to one of his lawyers.
However, investigations into the shooting and against Alec continue with prosecutors saying there's a possibility of charges being re-filed at a later point. "Over the last few days and in preparation for the May 3, 2023, preliminary hearing, new facts were revealed that demand further investigation and forensic analysis in the case against Alexander 'Alec' Rae Baldwin, III. Consequently, we cannot proceed under the current time constraints and on the facts and evidence turned over by law enforcement in its existing form," the prosecutors explained the decision to drop his charges.
"We therefore will be dismissing the involuntary manslaughter charges against Mr. Baldwin to conduct further investigation," they continued. "This decision does not absolve Mr. Baldwin of criminal culpability and charges may be refiled. Our follow-up investigation will remain active and on-going."
Halyna and Matthew married in 2005 and share one son together, Andros.
