When Alec Baldwin stepped out to last night the New York Ballet Fall Gala, a certain accessory got the crowd buzzing.

And no, we're not talking about his much younger girlfriend, Hilaria Thomas.

The 30 Rock star was sporting a black band on his ring finger that made everyone wonder if he somehow secretly got hitched to his new ladylove.

So does the ring mean Alec is off the market?

Not now.

"The ring has nothing to do with his relationship to Hilaria, but it does have personal meaning to him," a source close to the actor tells E! News.

So that's that.

If he were married, we sure he'd be tweeting up a storm about it, right?

Also attending the premiere of Paul McCartney's Ocean Kingdom ballet was his designing daughter Stella as well as Sarah Jessica Parker and Naomi Watts.
