Hilaria Baldwin shares bizarre E.E. Cummings quote as she continues her return to Instagram after fake Spanish heritage scandal
Hilaria Baldwin shared a bizarre E.E. Cummings quote as she continued her return to Instagram following her fake Spanish heritage scandal.
‘One of my favorites…e e Cummings- I cut it down a bit to fit here—it’s called A Poet’s Advice To Students, if you want to look up the whole piece—so worth it,’ Hilaria, 37, captioned the post on Friday.
‘Almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to feel,’ the quote begins. ‘Why? Because whenever you think or you believe or you know, you’re a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you’re nobody-but-yourself.

‘To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else – means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
‘And so my advice… is: do something easy, like learning how to blow up the world – unless you’re not only willing, but glad, to feel and work and fight till you die.
‘Does this sound dismal? It isn’t. It’s the most wonderful life on earth. Or so I feel.’
Hilaria has been posting a slew of snaps to her account after taking an extended break from social media in the wake of her fake Spanish heritage controversy.
Unusual: Baldwin posted an excerpt of A Poet’s Advice To Students on Friday
Iconic: E. E. Cummings was a writer behind the poem Hilaria posted on Friday
USA: Baldwin also shared this photo of her family doing the ‘Statue of Liberty pose’ on Friday
This past weekend, the Boston-born yoga guru – whose real name is Hillary Hayward-Thomas – shared several glimpses into her family’s life in the Hamptons, posting several sweet videos and photos of her children, as well as a romantic tribute to husband Alec Baldwin, 62, in honor of Valentine’s Day.
Alongside a black-and-white snap of the couple lying down and cuddling, Hilaria thanked the SNL star for being her ‘rock’ during ‘challenging’ times, while joking that Alec is also a ‘pain in the [a**]’.
‘Through the amazing times, the challenging ones, all the many memories and tiny people we have made in between, thank you for being my rock, my courage, my joy, and my forever valentine,’ she wrote.
‘Ok…this was so mushy and I can’t help but be me: you are my pain in the [a**] too. I love you.’

The gushing post comes just a few weeks after it was revealed that the couple were living in separate houses in the Hamptons – with actor Alec revealing that he was quarantining away from his family while commuting into New York City for work.
Alec was staying in a rented house in Amagansett – an upmarket neighborhood that is located around a mile away from his East Hamptons estate, where his wife and children have been staying since she was first accused of faking her European background.
A source told Page Six that he rented a second home in the Hamptons so that he can quarantine away from his family while he continues to travel into the city for work.
Letting loose: Hilaria set the sped-up clip to electronic dance music as they had a ‘Baldwinito dance party’
It is unclear whether he is still using the property – however a second post shared by Hilaria over the weekend would suggest that Alec has returned to his East Hamptons estate to live with his wife and children once again.
After sharing her heartfelt tribute to her husband, Hilaria also shared a funny video of the couple dancing in the snow with their five children, using the Spanish diminutive of their name – Baldwinito – while joking that Alec was trying to copy their son’s moves.
‘We had a Valentine’s Day freezing Baldwinito dance party on the beach…Alec is trying to learn Romeo’s moves,’ she wrote alongside the clip, which saw the SNL star wearing a face mask – perhaps an indication that he is still commuting into the city and is taking extra precautions as a result.
Hilaria – who went mask-free – kept warm in a long dark green puffer coat with black leggings and brown cowboy boots.
Helping out: Hilaria held her youngest son, Eduardo, while Alec danced around with two of the older boys

Following her late-December departure from Instagram, Hilaria returned to the social media site on February 5, sharing a portrait of the whole family lying on the floor while addressing the controversy over her misrepresenting herself as a Spanish woman.
‘I’ve spent the last month listening, reflecting, and asking myself how I can learn and grow,’ she began her caption.
‘My parents raised my brother and me with two cultures, American and Spanish, and I feel a true sense of belonging to both. The way I’ve spoken about myself and my deep connection to two cultures could have been better explained — I should have been more clear and I’m sorry,’ she continued.
‘I’m proud of the way I was raised, and we’re raising our children to share the same love and respect for both. Being vulnerable and pushing ourselves to learn and grow is what we’ve built our community on, and I hope to get back to the supportive and kind environment we’ve built together.’
Setting the record straight: Hilaria returned to Instagram on February 5 to apologize and address the controversy over her misrepresenting herself as a Spanish woman
Following the February 5 post, Hilaria began posting cute photos of her children, and Alec has also appeared with them, but her Valentine’s Day posts were her first appearances on Instagram since her apology.
The original heritage controversy began shortly after Amy Schumer poked fun at an Instagram post from Hilaria in which she held her baby son Eduardo while showing off her unbelievably trim post-baby body.
But Hilaria’s reaction video, which featured a suspiciously spotty ‘Spanish’ accent that seemed to disappear at times, led social media sleuths to uncover that she had been born in Boston, not Majorca, as had been listed online in some places.

The actor had to wash some clothes, but he needed some expert help from his wife to figure out the high-tech washing machine.
‘I took these photos to document for myself me teaching Alec how to use the washing machine etc while he was in the city working…’ she wrote.
‘As you can imagine: teaching Alec Baldwin to wash his clothes is as epic as you can imagine.’
One photo showed a closeup of her husband just missing the correct button, which she was ‘trying to get him to press.’
Heartbreaking: ‘Eduardo felt my pain,’ she joked in a closeup of the tot crying as his dad failed to wash his clothes
Success! But eventually Alec figured out how to get his laundry cleaned
