The birth of Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria’s seventh child has sparked controversy over the chosen name, with fans expressing their disapproval. Despite the joyous occasion of the baby’s arrival on Sunday, criticism resurfaced, focusing on Hilaria’s alleged misrepresentation of her Spanish heritage.
The scrutiny arose from previous accusations that Hilaria, originally from Boston and not Spain as she initially claimed, had fabricated her Spanish background. This controversy included accusations of faking an accent and even forgetting the English term for a cucumber. It was revealed that she had previously gone by the name Hilary, not Hilaria in Spanish.
The latest criticism revolves around the newborn’s name, Ilaria Catalina Irena, causing many to raise eyebrows. Hilaria announced the birth on Instagram, expressing excitement about sharing their “little dream come true” with the world. However, the revelation of the baby’s name drew attention and intensified the ongoing scrutiny.
Hilaria also pointed out a significant error in her online bio, created by her management company, which inaccurately listed her birthplace as Mallorca. She deemed this mistake “disappointing” and added it to the list of controversies surrounding her public image.
In response to questions about her choice of the name Hilaria, despite being born as Hilary, the yoga instructor clarified that her Spanish family had always addressed her as Hilaria. She asserted that the information she shared about herself was clear and emphasized the significance her Spanish heritage played in her identity.
It’s worth noting that Alec Baldwin is currently facing legal troubles following a tragic incident on a movie set on October 21, 2021, where his handgun discharged, resulting in the death of cinematographer Hutchins. The family of the victim is suing Baldwin for her murder, although he denies any involvement and has pledged never to point a gun at anyone again. Investigations revealed that the handgun could not be fired without a deliberate pull of the trigger.
