Hayward-Thomas's mother grew up in Massachusetts and spent her career practicing medicine there; she was an associate physician at Massachusetts General Hospital and assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School before retiring from both positions in 2012. [10] Her father was an attorney with an undergraduate degree in Spanish literature from Haverford College and a law degree from Georgetown University. The couple founded International Integrators, an integrative health organization, [11] [12] after moving to Spain and settling in Mallorca in 2011, not long before their daughter married Alec Baldwin. [13] She has a brother named Jeremy Hayward-Thomas. [14]
Hayward-Thomas's paternal grandfather was David Lloyd Thomas Sr. (1927/1928–2020), [15] an "American with roots in the country that pre-dated the American Revolution", and her paternal grandmother, Mary Lou (Artman) Thomas, was from Nebraska. [10] [15] Thomas Sr. was a native of Ames, Iowa and traveled extensively to Argentina as an auditor for General Electric and at one point lived there.

[56] Baldwin stated she started getting better when she started "thinking of weight and health separately". [57] Baldwin is a pescetarian. [58] [59]
After her husband accidentally fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with a prop gun in October 2021, Baldwin posted on her Instagram, "My heart is with Halyna. Her husband. Her son. Their family and loved ones. And my Alec."

[61]
Baldwin is of English, French-Canadian, German, Irish, and Slovak descent. [5] In December 2020, a Twitter user accused Baldwin of "impersonat[ing] a Spanish person" and posted video clips of Baldwin speaking with a Spanish accent, including a clip from the Today Show in which Baldwin seemingly forgot the English word for "cucumber". [10] [62] The tweets prompted accusations of cultural appropriation, [63] [64] [65] [66] since at other times she was heard speaking American-accented English. [67] Her agency's website listed her birthplace as Mallorca rather than Boston. [5] Commentators noted that Baldwin was often misidentified as either Mallorcan, Spanish, or Latina, encouraging positive press by Hispanic media such as the celebrity gossip magazine ¡Hola! [68] [8]
In March 2021, The Atlantic listed Baldwin as an "identity hoaxer" along with Rachel Dolezal and Jessica Krug. [69] Baldwin responded that she identifies as white, and her ethnic background includes "many, many, many things". [70] Baldwin states that she was raised in a Spanish-speaking household. [8] She said she spent "some" of her childhood in Spain and "some" in Massachusetts, but had never been enrolled in school in Spain, only spending time there during family holidays. [5] [71] She has stated that she began to use the name Hilaria "as she got older". Baldwin also asserted her inability to remember the word "cucumber" was stage fright during one of her first television appearances. She added that she is bilingual and her accent comes and goes depending on stress and other factors; [8] she described herself as "multi" and culturally "fluid". [72]
