Hilaria Baldwin isn\u2019t two-stepping around this tight-knit bond.<\/p>\n
After marrying husband Alec Baldwin<\/a> in 2012, the wellness influencer, 41, inherited countless new family members, including step-daughter, Ireland, who the \u201cDrunk Parents\u201d actor, 67, shares with ex-wife Kim Basinger.<\/p>\n During the \u201cDWTS\u201d Season 34 premiere, Hilaria had support from some of her children \u2014 Carmen, 12, Rafael, 10, Leonardo, 9, Romeo, 7 \u2014 and brother-in-law Stephen Baldwin. (She and Alec also share Eduardo, 5, Mar\u00eda, 4, and Ilaria, 2.)<\/p>\n Hilaria Baldwin during week two of \u201cDWTS.\u201d Disney via Getty Images<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re a very busy family,\u201d Hilaria exclusively told The Post after her Tuesday performance. \u201cThe Baldwins are really close. I\u2019m excited because Ireland is going to come out and as you\u2019ve seen from her post, she and I are very, very, very close.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI know that I\u2019m her stepmom, but she\u2019s like my dance mom,\u201d gushed the New Yorker. \u201cSo she\u2019s sending me \u2026. notes. She\u2019s sending me things every single day and I just feel very lucky to be pulled into this huge family that is very close. I am very grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n One Hight Wonder night during week two of \u201cDWTS.\u201d Disney via Getty Images<\/p>\n Hilaria Baldwin and Gleb Savchenko.

And I feel like the past 15 years I\u2019ve been tap dancing in all different ways and all different rhythms and just being like, \u2018Do you see me yet? Do you see me yet? Do you see me yet?’\u201d <\/p>\n Alec, Hilaria, and Ireland Baldwin attend the \u201cMission: Impossible \u2013 Rogue Nation\u201d special screening in 2015.

And I live my life with gratitude every single day. But there are really hard moments where I feel misunderstood and I feel taken out of context and the people misconstrue things or completely make stuff up and that\u2019s it is very painful just as a human,\u201d the author explained to The Post.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I think one of the things I love so much about \u2018Dancing With the Stars\u2019 is it is something that I love so much. I hope people can just see that I want to entertain people and bring joy. And it\u2019s coming from a place of me being entertained and being joyful too.\u201d<\/p>\n Hilaria previously has been accused of having a fake Spanish accent<\/a> and for seemingly forgetting the English word \u201conions\u201d while cooking a \u201ctraditional\u201d Spanish dish.<\/p>\n Hilaria Baldwin, Alec Baldwin and their kids. hilariabaldwin\/Instagram<\/p>\n Alec Baldwin, Hilaria Baldwin, Carmen Gabriela Baldwin and Ireland Baldwin.
