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.

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 a number of 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] [68] The tweets prompted a number of news articles and accusations of cultural appropriation, [69] [70] [71] [72] since at other times she was heard speaking American-accented English. [73] 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 Spanish-language celebrity gossip magazine ¡Hola! [74] [8]
In March 2021, The Atlantic listed Baldwin as an "identity hoaxer" along with Rachel Dolezal and Jessica Krug. [75]
Baldwin responded that she identifies as white, and her ethnic background includes "many, many, many things". [76] 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] [77] She has stated that she began to use the name Hilaria "as she got older". Baldwin also asserted in a New York Times interview that her inability to remember the word "cucumber" on Today came from 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] In July 2021, Baldwin described herself as "multi" and culturally "fluid". [78]
