Hilaria, along with her brother, grew up in a household where they spoke Spanish. They even visited Spain every year.
Though she had a mixed ethnicity because of her English, French, Slovak, Irish, and Canadian German descent, her family still prioritized Spanish.
Her paternal grandfather, David I Thomas Sr., was the one who introduced the world culture to her family. He also taught them fluent Spanish.
Because of their love for Spanish, both parents of Hilaria moved to Mallorca, Spain, and settled there. They also started the integrative health organization named International Integrators after their retirement.
Despite growing up in a close and healthy family, Hilaria had her own set of problems in her teenage and early 20s. During this age, she developed several eating disorders like bulimia, and anorexia.
She suffered from the disorder for quite some time before determining that weight and health were two different things. With this thought, she came to solve her eating disorder.
Ever since then, Hilaria has never looked back at her insecurities. Instead, she has succeeded in both her personal and professional life.

She established Yoga Vida, a yoga studio with partner Michael Patton, while still in college.
The studio was a hit and they even ex[pended it to three different locations in the Noho, Tribeca, and Dumbo areas of New York. The studios had a wide range of yoga practices for people.

Controversies and Accidents
Despite being a successful media person, Hilaria has faced her fair share of controversies.
Her first controversy was during her days as a yoga instructor.
One of her yoga students named Spencer Wolf filed a complaint against her in the supreme court of Manhattan after acquiring injury during practice.
The case went on for a whole year before Hilaria made a settlement with a non-disclosure agreement.
It was not the last controversy that the successful media person had to go through. Hilaria faced her second known controversy after her audience noticed her fake Spanish accent in many videos.
It became more evident during her interview on the Today Show, where she struggled to find the American word for cucumber.
She faced backlash from her audience, who accused her of impersonating and called her fake.
In response to all these allegations, Hilaria clarified that she grew up in a family of Spanish speakers.
She also added that stress and other factors bring out her accent as she is bilingual.
After a whole lot of debate on the Internet, the matter was slowly settling down.
However, things did not remain calm for long as the whole Baldwin family went into chaos. This time it was because of Alec Baldwin.
Alec was shooting for his new project, Rust, where he was also the producer.
During the shoot in Santa Fe, the assistant director, Dave Halls, gave Alec a prop firearm for the scene.
While handing the firearm, neither Halls nor Baldwin knew that there were actual bullets in it. So, they just went with the shoot.
But when Alec fired the firearm, it hit the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in the chest and the director, Joel Souza, in the shoulder.
Because of the fatal injury, a helicopter was chartered for Hutchins, while an ambulance got called for Souza.
Though Souza came back alive and got discharged on the same day, Hutchins lost her life.
The incident made a big buzz in the media as someone lost their life.
When the police got to the shooting site, they searched and investigated the crew. Alec was also questioned but was allowed to go after the interrogation.
While the police force is still looking into the nature of the projectile to find the actual culprit, the Baldwin family is reaching out to the family of Hutchins.
