TLC’s ‘The Baldwins’ Reality Show Will Be a Hit, and You Know It
In a move so obvious that it’s shocking it hadn’t happened already, the Baldwins—Alec and Hilaria, née Hilary—have announced that they’ll be taking their near-double-digit brood to TLC in 2025. In a horribly sound-mixed Instagram post that appears to be shot on a last-generation iPhone, the couple shared their excitement about exposing their questionable parenting skills to the masses. The show will be titled, in a creative leap, The Baldwins.
“We’re inviting you into our home to experience the ups and downs, the good, the bad, the wild and the crazy,” says Alec, cutting to myriad shots of their children screaming their heads off. “Home is the place we love to be most,” he continues, lying.
The Baldwins have seven children between the ages of one-and-a-half and 10, each one famously bequeathed a name of Spanish origin. That’s a result of Hilaria falsely perpetuating the notion that she was a native Spaniard, despite numerous evidence to the contrary. In 2020, after years of going on TV speaking Spanglish and misrepresenting herself in interviews—a gambit perpetuated by her husband, too—internet sleuths uncovered that she was actually just a rich girl from Massachusetts. Which, there’s nothing wrong with that! But Hilaria’s Rachel Dolezal-adjacent cosplay earned her no fans, and it didn’t help that Alec doesn’t have the most sparkling reputation himself.
