Hilaria Baldwin is apologizing for her recent inheritance scandal.
The 37-year-old yoga / wellness specialist had a blast in December, when it was discovered that she was not actually born in Spain – as she had suggested – and instead was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. Baldwin was also criticized for allegedly faking a Spanish accent. The accent of the bilingual mother of five has fluctuated noticeably over the years when she appeared on TV.
On Friday, Baldwin apologized on Instagram, writing: “I spent the last month listening, reflecting and wondering how I can learn and grow. My parents raised my brother and me with two cultures, American and Spanish, and I feel a real feeling of belonging to both. “
She continued: “The way I talked about myself and my deep connection with two cultures could have been better explained – I should have been more clear and sorry. I am proud of the way I was raised, and we are raising our children to share the same love and respect for both.

She also shared a photo of herself with her husband, Alec Baldwin, and their five children.

“The things I shared about me are very clear,” said Baldwin. “I was born in Boston. I spent time in Boston and Spain. My family now lives in Spain. I moved to New York when I was 19 and have lived here ever since. For me, I feel like I have spent 10 years sharing this story over and over . And now it seems that it is not enough. “
