Hilaria Baldwin's former dance partner is weighing in on the ongoing scandal surrounding her heritage. The yoga expert, 36, who is married to Alec Baldwin, has been the subject of controversy this week after a Twitter user fired off a since-deleted tweet that read, "You have to admire Hilaria Baldwin’s commitment to her decade long grift where she impersonates a Spanish person." Baldwin, 36, who is married to "30 Rock" actor Alec Baldwin, admitted this week she was born in Boston, Mass., and not in Mallorca, Spain, as she had previously implied. She spoke out about allegations she was "pretending" to be Spanish in an interview to The New York Times on Wednesday. Her former competitive dance partner Alexander Rechits also spoke to the outlet, claiming she has always wanted to be viewed as having been from Spain.
