How she met Alec:
Hilaria claimed she told her husband Alec from the beginning that she was from Boston, despite his now infamous 2013 Letterman interview in which he claims she is Spanish.
“My wife is from Spain,” the 62-year-old said.
“I walked up to him,” Hilaria told the Times she met Alec in 2011 at a vegan restaurant.
“He said, ‘Where are you from? “And I said, ‘I’m from Boston.’ That was the first thing I said, it’s always been my narrative. ‘
Yet, two years later, Alec was on Letterman and said she was from Spain, for which she did not give an explanation.
Why her Spanish accent changes:
Hilaria says that although she grew up in Boston, she speaks English with a Spanish accent, depending on her emotions at the time.
The Today Show incident:
The 36-year-old also claims that she was confused about the word cucumber in the ‘Today Show’ because she was nervous about being one of the first on live TV.
Yet it is clearly heard that she asks for the word in English.
How much time did she spend in Spain:
Hilaria now says she was born in Boston, but as a baby started visiting Spain annually, indicating that she was just vacationing in the country.
She had previously only talked about the Spanish island of Mallorca, where her parents and older brother liked but did not claim to have spent most of their family holidays on the Spanish mainland in Madrid, Seville and Valencia.
She told the Times that Spain was ‘part of my childhood’, but could not say how much time she spent there in total.
Allegation that she went to school in Spain:
“Sometimes there was school involved. Sometimes it was vacation. It was such a mix, mishmash, is that the right word? Like a mixture of different things. ‘
In the interview, Hilaria suggested that she go to school in Spain, but there is no evidence of this.
Her move to NYC:
The story she told the New York Times leaves ambiguity about whether she moved from Spain to New York, such as whether she said it before and whether she moved from another part of the US.
“I was born in Boston. I spent time in Boston and in Spain. My family now lives in Spain. “I moved to New York when I was 19 and have lived here ever since,” she told the Times.
‘For me, I feel like I’ve been sharing the story over and over again for ten years. And now it seems like it’s not enough. ‘
Yet Hilaria said earlier that she had moved from Spain.
Profiles that say she was born in Spain:
Hilaria claims that she did not know the magazine ¡Hola! wrote that she is Spanish as she does not read pieces about herself.
And claims that the talent organization Creative Artists Agency must have taken their bio, which states that she was born in Mallorca, Spain, from the internet without making sure.
