The pair met the previous year at a Manhattan restaurant, where, as Hilaria once told The New York Times, Alec "walked up and took my hand and said, 'I must know you.' " They now share five young children who frequently appear on Hilaria's personal Instagram account. Then, on December 21, the Twitter user @lenibriscoe tweeted, "You have to admire Hilaria Baldwin's commitment to her decade long grift where she impersonates a Spanish person." The thread documented several instances of Baldwin speaking with a Spanish accent and seemingly claiming heritage, despite having spent most of her childhood in Massachusetts with seemingly non-Spanish parents.
