How Alec met:
Hilaria claimed she told her husband Alec from the outside that she was from Boston despite her now infamous 2013 Letterman interview in which she claimed she was Spanish.
“My wife is from Spain,” the 62-year-old had said.
“I walked next to him,” Hilaria told the Times about Alec’s meeting at a vegan restaurant in 2011.
He said, “Where are you from?” And I said, “I’m from Boston.” It was the first thing I said, which has always been my narrative.
However, two years later, Alec was to Letterman saying he was from Spain, which he gave no explanation.
Why change your Spanish accent:
Hilaria says that despite being raised in Boston, she speaks English with a Spanish accent based on her emotions of the moment.
The Today Show Incident:
The 36-year-old also said she was confused by the word cucumber on the “Today Show” show because she was nervous about being on live television for one of the first few occasions.
Still, he is clearly heard asking for the word in English.
How much time has passed in Spain:
Now Hilaria says she was born in Boston but started visiting Spain every year when she was a child, which means she was only on holiday in the country.
Previously, he only talked about the Spanish island of Mallorca where his parents and older brother like it but do not claim to have spent most of their family holiday time in Spain in Madrid, Seville and Valencia.
He told the Times that Spain “was part of my childhood,” but he couldn’t tell how much time had passed in total.
They state that he went to school in Spain:
Sometimes there were schools involved. Sometimes it was a vacation. It was a mix, mishmash, is that the right word? Like a mix of different things.
In the interview, Hilaria suggested that she go to school in Spain, but there is no record of it.
His move to New York:
The story he told the New York Times leaves ambiguity about whether he moved to New York from Spain as he had said before or whether he moved from another part of the US.
‘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, ”he told the Times.
‘For me, I feel like I’ve spent 10 years sharing this story over and over again. And now it seems that it is not enough ”.
However, Hilaria had previously said that she moved from Spain.
Profiles that indicate that he was born in Spain:
Hilaria alleges that she did not know that magazine ¡Hola! she had written that she was Spanish as she does not read articles about herself.
And he states that the talent organization Creative Artists Agency must have extracted his biography which states that he was born in Mallorca, Spain, from the Internet without checking it.
