URGENT UPDATE: Hilaria Baldwin has revealed her feelings of jealousy towards the remaining contestants of Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) following her shocking elimination on July 11, 2023. Speaking on the DWTS Official Podcast shortly after her exit with pro partner Gleb Savchenko, Baldwin expressed both gratitude for the experience and sadness over leaving the competition.
“I’m proud of those — I’m a little jealous — but proud of those who get to go to practice tomorrow,” Baldwin told host Joey Graziadei during the emotional segment. This sentiment struck a chord as she reflected on her journey, highlighting the challenges she faced after enduring multiple injuries and having seven children.
The 41-year-old yoga instructor shared that the elimination felt particularly painful as she had previously believed she would never dance again. “I opened my heart and now it’s broken again,” she said tearfully, emphasizing the emotional toll the experience had taken on her. Baldwin, who has been married to actor Alec Baldwin since 2012, also addressed the public scrutiny she faced regarding her previous dance experience and the criticism that followed her throughout the competition.
Baldwin’s emotional message resonated with her fans as she expressed feeling like she had “let [her] kids down” by being voted off. However, Savchenko quickly reassured her, stating, “You worked your butt off every day in the studio. You are a true inspiration.” He praised her dedication and talent, calling her one of the most skilled partners he has worked with on the show.
As Baldwin thanked Savchenko for his support, she also shared a poignant message about the importance of kindness among women. She expressed hope that the negativity surrounding her would cease, stating, “Women should support each other.”
In a revealing moment, Baldwin also addressed the ongoing speculation regarding her status as a “nepo” wife, dismissing claims that her husband’s connections had any influence on her participation in DWTS. “I’m a hard worker. I want to earn things on my own merit,” she emphasized during a separate podcast appearance.
Despite the challenges, Baldwin previously told Page Six that DWTS has been a healing experience for her family, particularly after a difficult few years marked by public scrutiny and personal challenges, including Alec Baldwin’s legal troubles stemming from the tragic shooting incident on the set of his film Rust. The charges were dismissed in July 2024.
With her exit from the show, Baldwin’s heartfelt reflections have sparked conversations about resilience, motherhood, and the pressures faced by public figures. The emotional impact of her journey continues to resonate with fans, making this an urgent and compelling story to follow.
What happens next for Baldwin remains to be seen, but her message of perseverance and support for fellow contestants has struck a chord, emphasizing the human side of reality TV competition. Stay tuned for further developments as the season of Dancing With the Stars continues, and watch for Baldwin’s future endeavors in the public eye.
