Alec Baldwin has turned on his celebration mode as his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, turned 37-year-old. Yes, the 62-year-old actor took social media to express his love towards his wife amid the Spanish accent controversy.
The podcast co-host and the fitness instructor celebrated her birthday on Jan. 6 and shared a beautiful family picture on their Instagram. The picture featured the happy couple with their five children, son Leonardo Baldwin, 4, Carmen Gabriela Baldwin, 7, Romeo Alejandro David Baldwin, 2, Rafael Thomas Baldwin, 5, and Eduardo Pau Lucas Baldwin, who was born a couple of months ago.
The Hunt for Red October star wished his wife while addressing her as the love of his life. The actor further wrote in the Instagram caption that Hilaria is the only person in this entire world who makes him feel peace. She is the joy of his life and the person he can consider being his home.
While the couple is busy celebrating the birthday, last month has been rough for Baldwin's family amid the accent drama. Hilaria was trending on Twitter following the accusation by several users, including Tracie Egan Morrissey, who is a popular journalist at Bust magazine.
The netizens claimed that the celebrity wife fabricated her roots in Spain while she was born in Boston, Massachusetts. In fact, she was heavily criticized for using a Spanish accent in many interviews. Things became so bad that even Hilaria's stepdaughter, Ireland Baldwin, stepped into the controversy and tried to explain how this isn't a big deal.
The 25-year-old model said that there are more important issues that require attention rather than talking about someone's accent. Moreover, she praised Hilaria for being an amazing human being and supportive.
Throughout the incident, Alec always supported his wife, while Hilaria also shared a video explaining why her accent sounds different. She explained that her family is based in Spain, and she had spent a couple of years back and forth while her husband is a British person that also reflects on her accent.
While Hilaria confirmed in the video message about her birth location, netizens noted that her Creative Artists Agency profile stated that she was born in Spain. However, many users didn't buy the explanation.
A source revealed that the couple celebrated their New Year's Eve in the Hamptons and Hilaria seemed upset. However, Alec comforted his wife and tried to uplift her mood. The couple has been married since 2012 and growing strong over the years.
