Hillary ‘Hilaria’ Baldwin in Hamptons as Alec ‘is staying in separate house over COVID concerns’

Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria are ‘living in separate houses’ so that the actor can quarantine away from his family amid ‘concerns about COVID’, it has been reported in the wake of ongoing scandal over the yoga teacher’s fake Spanish heritage.

The 62-year-old SNL star is said to be staying at a rented house in Amagansett – an upmarket neighborhood that is located around a mile away from his East Hamptons estate, where his wife and children have been staying since she was first accused of faking her European background. 

Unlike Hilaria – real name Hillary Hayward-Thomas – who has attempted to remain under the radar since heading out to the Hamptons amid the scandal last month, Alec has been traveling back and forth between the Long Island neighborhood and New York City so he can continue working.

A source told Page Six that he rented a second home in the Hamptons so that he can quarantine away from his family while he continues to travel into the city for work.  

Alec and Hilaria were last pictured together on January 2, when they were seen enjoying a stroll on the grounds of their East Hamptons estate alongside the family’s two nannies. 

Meanwhile, a somber-looking Hilaria was seen making a solo outing in the Hamptons this weekend – her first public sighting since it was revealed that husband Alec is quarantining away from her and their five kids amid concerns about COVID-19. 

It has been a rocky few weeks for the 36-year-old Boston-born yoga guru, who has been staying in the family’s Hamptons home since the end of December – when she became embroiled in a serious scandal over allegations that she has been faking her Spanish heritage.    

Hilaria – whose real name is Hillary Hayward-Thomas – was seen driving around the upmarket neighborhood by herself in a large black SUV, wearing a face mask around her chin and a large pair of headphones over her ears. 

At one point she put on a large set of Beats headphones as her matching protective face mask was worn down on her chin.  

The couple are parents to five children – daughter Carmen, seven, and sons Rafael, five, Leonardo, four, Romeo, two, and Eduardo, four months. 

The Glengarry Glen Ross actor said last month in an Instagram post that the grind has not been ‘a lot of fun’ as he racks up miles working amid the ongoing pandemic.

‘I’m here in this guesthouse that’s near our house, that I’m staying in when I’m quarantining,’ he said. ‘I go into New York and work a little bit and come back and have to quarantine here for a few days.’

Just last week it was reported that the couple are ‘very upset’ that her alleged Spanish heritage has come under scrutiny.

The yoga teacher, who had long played up her purported links to Spain, has been ‘deeply affected’ that heritage is now ‘being questioned,’ a source told Entertainment Tonight on Monday. 

However her Saturday Night Live star husband ‘unconditionally supports and loves Hilaria in whatever she does,’ the source claimed. 

Ironically, Alec is the only one of the couple who ever explicitly stated his wife was Spanish, telling David Letterman in 2013 ‘my wife is from Spain’ in a now viral clip from his talk show.  

Meanwhile The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley defended the exposed culture vulture last Saturday following her Spanish scandal.

‘I feel bad for what she’s going through at the moment. I don’t think she deserves it. I’ve had so much scrutiny over the way I speak,’ the 44-year-old Beverly Beach designer – who boasts 1.1M social media followers – wrote via Instastory.

‘I’ve learned to ignore all the noise but at first it was really hurtful. I’m sure all of this backlash has been hard on her. I don’t know her but I’ve followed her for years and I hope she’s back on social media soon.  

‘I would love to see less trolling and bullying on social media in 2021. If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.’

The influencer has yet to apologize or admit any fault over the public’s perception that she was born and raised in Majorca after a Twitter thread from Leni Briscoe went viral.

Hillary has since clarified she was born and raised in Boston’s posh Beacon Hill district to parents (who moved to Spain in 2011) with deep roots in the United States.

Baldwin even went as far as to blame her agency CAA and ¡Hola! magazine for mistakenly referring to her as Spanish in an interview with the New York Times last month.

‘Home is where my parents are going to be,’ the Mom Brain podcaster bizarrely explained. ‘If my parents move to China, I am going to go to China and say, “I’m going home.”‘

But as far back as 2011, Hillary perpetuated her fictional heritage by tweeting that she was a ‘Spanish yoga teacher.’

As recent as two months ago, Baldwin’s husband Alec told Aaron and Rohit’s Hopeless Show ‘my wife is from Spain’ and he said the same on Late Show with David Letterman in 2013.

The defiant NYU alum and the 62-year-old Oscar nominee are now laying low in their 18th-century farmhouse in East Hampton with their five children and two nannies.

Meanwhile, Connecticut-born Dorit has been blasted for years for affecting an English accent – blaming the influence of her British husband Paul aka ‘PK.’

‘I think the way I speak is probably a combination of many things. First and foremost, I am married to a Brit who’s got a very, very strong London accent,’ Kemsley told Bravo’s Daily Dish in 2017.

‘And I’m sure some of his inflections have sort of rolled over on me. My parents are not American. I was born and raised in America. I did spend a significant amount of time, nearly 10 years, back and forth going to Europe.’

Next month, Dorit and the 53-year-old Nixxi Entertainment CEO will celebrate the seventh birthday of their son Jagger and fifth birthday of their daughter Phoenix – followed by their sixth wedding anniversary in March.
