BRIEFING

Jett here. There’s a really bizarre conspiracy theory floating around online that Hilaria Baldwin faked six of her seven pregnancies. Yes, that sounds insane, I get it. But once you remember that this is the same woman who built a whole Spanish persona while being born Hillary Hayward-Thomas from Massachusetts, the fake prego theory starts to feel a little less random. Let’s get into it.

For anybody who's forgotten about the Hilaria Baldwin Spanish scandal, let's rewind.

For years, Hilaria Baldwin presented herself with this goofy, shifting Spanish accent, a Spanish-sounding name, and enough “how you say?” moments to make people wonder what the hell was going on. The most famous one was the cucumber clip.

But apparently the cucumber wasn't alone in the produce aisle...

The New York Post recently covered yet another strange vegetable moment, where Baldwin appeared to forget the English word for “onions” while cooking a Spanish dish. Please, keep in mind, this crazy lady was born in the Boston area.

Ay dios mio!

Hilaria Baldwin found herself in another Spanish-speaking pickle after a video showed the self-proclaimed Spaniard forgetting how to pronounce a commonly used English word despite being from Massachusetts.

In the clip obtained by Daily Mail, Alec Baldwin’s wife — real name Hillary Hayward-Thomas — was cooking a “traditional” Spanish dish for her holiday guests when she blanked on the word “onions.”

Dressed in flannel pajamas, the 40-year-old yoga instructor boasted about the authenticity of her recipe in her best Spanglish accent.

“I learned this from when I was a kid, don’t look it up online because you’ll learn something different,” Baldwin said in what appeared to be a heavy faux accent while in the kitchen with a friend.

She shared that the secret to her tortilla dish was not cutting the potatoes “too tiny.”

While continuing to talk about the recipe, Baldwin struggled to remember the word “onions” while telling the camera, “My husband hates…cebollas [onions in Spanish].”

Luckily, her friend helped her out, reminding her of the English word.

And all this fake "Spanish" nonsense she's put out there is why this pregnancy theory has legs.

Obviously, there’s absolutely no proof that the children aren’t biologically hers and Alec Baldwin’s. There’s also no proof that Hilaria Baldwin faked any pregnancy whatsoever. But the internet isn’t asking these questions because one blurry photo looked a bit "weird." They’re asking because a whole collection of clips, photos, timelines, bump-size changes, post-birth “bounce back” images, and strange yoga videos have now been pulled into one place. Seeing all those odd moments together, in one fell swoop, is exactly why this theory is gaining traction.

The theory is pretty cut and dry: online sleuths believe Hilaria may have used prosthetic pregnancy bellies, often called “moon bumps,” while surrogates allegedly carried some of the children. Again, it sounds nuts, and I get it. But the video makes the case by pointing to things people say look incredibly bizarre: bumps that seem to appear and disappear, sharp edges under clothing, stomachs that look like they fold or collapse during movement, and postpartum photos that look almost too perfect for the biological reality most women deal with.

Also, this is her entire brand.

Hilaria Baldwin turned pregnancy, bounce-back fitness, yoga, motherhood, and this "effortless recovery" into a huge part of her lifestyle identity. She sold the image of a woman who could be pregnant, razor-thin, traipsing around in heels, doing handstands, giving birth, and then appearing days later with this amazing flat stomach and full glam look. Kinda like how she wanted to portray herself as an authentic Spanish woman cooking amazing, traditional food, when in reality she’s an American who was born in Massachusetts.
