In the premiere of TLC's reality series, The Baldwins, Hilaria Baldwin confronts the controversy surrounding her claims of Spanish heritage. After being called out for allegedly faking her accent and cultural background, she emphasizes her commitment to bilingualism for her children and explains the complexities of her identity. Despite the public scrutiny causing her pain, she finds strength in her multicultural family and community, asserting that speaking multiple languages is a norm rather than an authenticity issue.
I'm raising my kids to be bilingual. I was raised bilingual. My nuclear family now lives over in Spain. I want to teach my kids pride in speaking more than one language.
I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me sad... But it was my family, my friends, my community... realize we are a mix of all these different things.
