ALEC BALDWIN has found love for the first time since splitting from KIM BASINGER - makeup artist KATHRINA MICCIO. The aspiring actress met Baldwin when she did his makeup after he appeared on a talk show over a year ago.

The pair got reacquainted when she guested on his new film DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER, The (2001). Miccio says, "Alec and I are getting to know each other better. We are becoming very good friends "

But Baldwin is so scared his estranged wife Basinger will find out about his new budding romance, he's insisted all snapshots of his sweetheart be put under lock and key so the press don't see her. A source says,

"Alec is desperate to keep his romance with Kathrina secret. He's frantic that Kim will find out. "(MB/TS/RP)
