“Hilaria” Baldwin (Alec Baldwins wife) claims she raised in Spain when actuality she grew up in Boston and just vacationed in Spain. She changed her name from Hilary To Hilaria (Spanish) and pretends not to know English that well.

The article states that her agency has a bio about her. And in that bio it says “Baldwin was born in Mallorca, Spain and raised in Boston, Massachusetts.” But on her Insta it says she was born in Boston.

She has been faking an accent too according to some people.

But I am not one for celebrity gossip or drama. I am just sharing the reason behind my question, for context. This applies to celebrities and non-celebrities.

Why pretend to be someone you aren’t and go as far as to fake an accent, name all your kids Hispanic names (which is totally fine, but given the context of faking your heritage it is a bit weird), and even pretend not to know English words?

My last name is Puerto Rican (My first name is a Spanish word as well), my Great Grandparents came from Puerto Rico, but I was born in America. I wouldn’t pretend to have been raised in Puerto Rico and/or be apart of that culture when I’m not. It seems fake and rude. That isn’t my culture and I don’t pretend it is. So I cannot understand why they would do it. Maybe for attention, but if you aren’t a celebrity??? What attention are you getting??
