Hilaria Baldwin “didn’t understand” her pre-nuptial agreement but chose to sign it anyway before marrying Alec Baldwin.
The 41-year-old yoga instructor married the actor in 2012 and they are parents to seven children together, but Hilaria has now confessed she was presented with a pre-nup before the wedding and signed it even though she didn’t fully understand it.
During an episode of the couple’s new reality show ‘The Baldwins’, Alex explained he wanted an agreement in place for his second marriage following his divorce from actress Kim Basinger in 2002. He said: “After my first marriage I said, ‘Let’s have a prenup’.”
However, the paperwork left Hilaria baffled. She explained: “I just don’t understand quite what a prenup is. Because you are like, ‘After a certain number of kids it is this.’ And I was like, ‘You know what? I will just sign it. Which was probably very stupid of me back then.”
She went on to add: “Now, I would read it again. I just said, ‘I won’t sign it. I don’t really want to think about the end by the beginning.’ And then you were like, ‘I don’t want to do it either’.”
During the show, Hilaria – who was born Hillary Hayward-Thomas and raised by American parents in Boston, Massachusetts – also addressed the controversy over her Spanish accent after she was accused of faking her heritage.
Hilaria insisted the furore “hurt”, saying: “I love English, I also love Spanish, and when I mix the two it doesn’t make me inauthentic, and when I mix the two, that makes me normal.
“I’d be lying if I said [the controversy] didn’t make me sad and it didn’t hurt and it didn’t put me in dark places.
“But it was my family, my friends, my community who speak multiple languages, who have belonged in multiple places and realise that we are a mix of all these different things and that’s going to have an impact on how we sound and an impact on how we articulate things and the words that we choose and our mannerisms.
“That’s normal. That’s called being human.”
