How she met Alec:
Hilaria said she told her husband Alec from the beginning that she was from Boston, despite her now infamous Letterman interview in 2013, in which he claimed she was Spanish.
“My wife is from Spain,” said the 62-year-old.
‘I passed him by,’ Hilaria told the Times about meeting with Alec at a vegetarian restaurant in 2011.
‘He said,’ Where are you from? ‘And I said, “I’m from Boston.” That was the first thing I said, that was always my narrative. ‘
However, two years later, Alec was at Letterman saying that she was from Spain, for which she did not give an explanation.
Why your Spanish accent changes:
Hilaria says that although she was raised in Boston, she speaks English with a Spanish accent depending on her emotions at the time.
The Today Show incident:
The 36-year-old woman also said she was confused about the word for cucumber on the ‘Today Show’ because she was nervous about being live on TV for the first time.
However, she is clearly heard asking for the word in English.
How much time she spent in Spain:
Hilaria now says she was born in Boston, but started visiting Spain annually when she was a baby, which implies that she only spent holidays in the country.
Previously, she only talked about the Spanish island of Mallorca, where her parents and older brother like it, but they do not claim to have spent most of their family vacation time in mainland Spain, in Madrid, Seville and Valencia.
She told the Times that Spain “was part of my childhood”, but she couldn’t say how much time she spent there in total.
She says she studied in Spain:
‘Sometimes there was a school involved. Sometimes it was a vacation. It was a mix, a mess, is that the right word? Like a mix of different things. ‘
In the interview, Hilaria suggested that she studied in Spain, but there is no evidence of that.
Your move to New York:
The story she told the New York Times leaves ambiguities about whether she moved from Spain to New York or moved from another part of the United States.
‘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, ”she told the Times.
‘For me, I feel like I’ve spent 10 years sharing this story over and over. And now it seems that it is not enough. ‘
Even so, Hilaria had already said that she moved from Spain.
Profiles stating that she was born in Spain:
Hilaria claims that she did not know that ¡Hola! wrote that she is Spanish because she does not read texts about herself.
And he says that the talent organization Creative Artists Agency must have removed his biography, which states that she was born in Mallorca, Spain, from the internet without checking the facts.
