Hilaria Baldwin talks early dieting, eating disorder and gold‑digger claims
Hilaria Baldwin disclosed that she began dieting at age five and described a decades‑long struggle with eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, overeating and undereating. She said she once feared the number of calories in her toothpaste and credited her ADHD with helping her focus on recovery.
She said the experience shaped how she raises her seven children, emphasizing conversations about food rather than weight and trying to shield them from diet‑culture messages. Baldwin also addressed persistent "gold‑digger" accusations, calling them hurtful and noting she turned down expensive gifts early in her marriage to actor Alec Baldwin.
In other recent interviews she joked about "miscounting" her large brood and described the parenting dynamics she shares with Alec, referring to themselves as the "alpha parent" and discussing how they divide household decisions.
