A very familiar face may be joining the cast of RHOBH in the near future. Hilaria Baldwin has reportedly reached out to producers about joining the hit Bravo franchise.
Sources tell In Touch that Hilaria’s is shilling herself as the next big Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star.
The 40-year-old yoga instructor, who lives with her husband, Alec Baldwin, in New York, was spotted shuttling their seven children around Los Angeles, which is where she met with RHOBH executives about joining the series.
“She created a whole false narrative about herself as a Spanish aristocrat a couple of years ago, even faking a Spanish accent though she was born and raised in Boston as Hillary Hayward-Thomas,” notes the insider.
“She’s made for reality TV! She loves being the center of attention. This is a win-win for her, especially if Alec winds up cooling his heels behind bars.”
This news comes just weeks after Kyle Richards reveals that she is vying for Hilaria Baldwin to join the show to replace fired cast member Annemarie Wiley.
“I’m scared I’m gonna mispronounce her name, but I think it’s kind of fitting for the situation. Hilaria Baldwin,” the RHOBH OG teased while appearing on SiriusXM’s Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa.“She lives in New York, but maybe she would move.”
Kyle then revealed she mentioned the idea of Hilaria joining RHOBH years ago when she ran into Alec in New York City.
“Well, I told him. I saw him in New York. I don’t know, it was a couple years back and I said something about it then, and then I was like, he’s like, ‘Oh, we’re living in New York,’ but I don’t know. He said something about her in LA and I was like, ‘Well, the door’s open,’” Kyle said.
Turns out Hilaria and Alec have bene floating around the idea of doing a reality TV series based on their family for quite a while. In fact, Kelly Ripa revealed that Alec told her directly that they were “looking for a reality show.”
In November 2023 a source told PEOPLE that the 65-year-old actor and his 40-year-old wife were “pitching a family reality show that would give an inside look at their life.”
The source that the couple liked “the idea of giving people a behind-the-scenes look at raising a big family.”
The two have been married since 2012 and share children: Carmen Gabriela, 10, Rafael Thomas, 8, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 7, Romeo Alejandro David, 5, Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas, 3, María Lucía Victoria, 3, and Ilaria Catalina Irena, 18 months.
It seems that now Hilaria is taking the idea of doing reality TV and joining the cast of RHOBH more seriously as she may be spending several years of her life sans her husband of twelve years.
In January, Alec was re-charged with involuntary manslaughter after the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The 42-year-old cinematographer was killed in 2021 when the gun Alec was holding discharged on the New Mexico set of the Western film, Rust.
As a result sources claim Hilaria wants a gig that will keep her in the spotlight and allow her to move her family to the West Coast.
