Baldwin said she was born Hilary but changed her name to Hilaria because that is what her family in Spain called her.
She captioned a lengthy video on Instagram: “A bit about me. I’ve seen chatter online questioning my identity and culture.
“This is something I take very seriously, and for those who are asking I’ll reiterate my story, as I’ve done many times before.
“I was born in Boston and grew up spending time with my family between Massachusetts and Spain.
“My parents and sibling live in Spain and I chose to live here, in the USA.
