“I’d be lying if I said [the controversy] didn’t make me sad and it didn’t hurt and it didn’t put me in dark places.”

she explained.

“We are a mix of all these different things, and that’s going to have an impact on how we sound and how we articulate things,”

she said.

The mother of seven also expressed her commitment to raising her children with an appreciation for both cultures.

“I want them to appreciate the beauty of speaking multiple languages,”

she affirmed. Despite the backlash, Hilaria Baldwin is determined to celebrate her identity and instill pride in her children’s bilingualism.
