Hilaria Baldwin has finally put the record directly on her 'fake' Spanish accent, insistently that her bilingual education has influenced how she sounds.
The 41-year-old mother-van-Zeven, real name Hillary Hayward-Thomas, who was born in a luxury neighborhood of Boston, has raised eyebrows over the years with her questionable dialect.

Speaking in her new TLC -Reality -TV series The Baldwins, Hilaria said that she is 'normal' for mixing English and Spanish, while she was also upset because she was criticized because of her accent.
“My nuclear family is now alive in Spain,” she said. 'I want to teach my children proudly to speak more than one language.
'I think the growing up of two languages is extremely special. I love English and I also love Spanish, and if I mix the two, it doesn't make me authentic.
“If I mix the two, it makes me normal!”
Hilaria, who shares seven children with her husband Alec Baldwin, hinted that although the controversy over her accent has made her low, she was able to lean on her loved ones for support.
