Fake news! It turns out the rumor that Hilaria Baldwin is joining the cast of RHOBH is NOT true! Get the scoop.
Reality TV fans who were hoping to see Hilaria Baldwin join the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 cast are out of luck as the wife of Alec Baldwin is NOT joining the hit Bravo show.
While rumors have been circulating that Hilaria Baldwin was in talks to join the show, multiple sources tell DailyMail.com that there’s “no truth” to the gossip.
Speculation about Hilaria Baldwin joining the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills started in March when OG star Kyle Richards called the 40-year-old a prime candidate to join the show.
While appearing on SiriusXM’s Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, Kyle revealed that 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.
Then earlier this month In Touch reported that the 40-year-old yoga instructor 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,” noted 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.”
Rumors has it that Hilaria and Alec have been floating around the idea of doing a reality TV series based on their family for quite a while.
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.
Production for season 14 of RHOBH reportedly begins in April.
RHOBH is expected to return to Bravo in late 2024 or early 2025.
