Where is Hilaria Baldwin from? Ethnic background and nationality explored amid fake accent interview claim

Alec Baldwin’s wife, Hilaria Baldwin’s alleged fake Spanish accent grabbed the attention of the internet when she requested the media to give her family some space.

After Alec was charged with involuntary manslaughter following a shooting incident on the Rust set in 2021, Hilaria spoke with reporters in front of her home in Greenwich Village, New York City. While speaking to a few reporters, she said:

“I want you guys to realize that we have seven kids, and you being here to escort them to school and to be there when they come home is not good. So on a human level, you guys know I’m not going to say anything to you – you know that.”

Her children frequently inquire about the reporters that follow her family, so she urged them to leave her family alone. Alec reportedly rushed inside the van while his wife tried to shift the attention of the reporters toward her. Hilaria was spotted wearing a green hoodie sweatshirt with the word "Empathy" inscribed on top of it as she spoke with reporters.
