Hilaria Baldwin admitted that she’s “jealous” of the remaining “Dancing With the Stars” contestants following her shocking elimination Tuesday.
“First, this has been an experience that I never thought I would have and I’m so grateful,” she said on the “DWTS” Official Podcast, immediately following her and pro partner Gleb Savchenko’s exit.
“I’m proud of those — I’m a little jealous — but proud of those who get to go to practice tomorrow,” she said to host Joey Graziadei while sitting alongside Savchenko, 42.
The mom of seven shared that the elimination hit extra hard since she previously thought she would never dance again after breaking so many bones and having “so many babies.”
“I opened my heart and now it’s broken again,” Hilaria, who has been married to Alec Baldwin since 2012, said through tears, when asked about getting the chance to dance in a professional space again.
“I’m 41 and I met Alec when I was 27. The world has been trying to beat me since, and they did, they really did,” she added, referencing the backlash she received from some fans due to her prior dance experience. “Because no matter what I do, it’s not enough.”
The yoga instructor added that she feels she “let [her] kids down” by getting voted off the show, but Savchenko chimed in to tell her how proud he and her family are of her.
“You worked your butt off everyday in the studio. You are a true inspiration. You’re not just a mother — an amazing mother to seven incredible kids — but you’re also a real superhero in the dance studio,” the pro dancer gushed.
He also shared that Hilaria was one the most advanced partners he’s danced with and was honored to be able to do high level of routine that he’s never been able to do on the show before.
“You should be so proud of yourself no matter what it is,” he insisted.
The “Mom Brain” podcast host thanked Savchenko for being “so patient” with her throughout the experience and said she will miss spending time with him.
“We were brought into each other’s lives at a very particular time and you’ll be my forever friend.”
When Graziadei asked her what her biggest take away from the experience was and any advice she would give to her children, Hilaria got emotional and warned abou cyberbullying, claiming she has been “targeted over and over again.”
She concluded by saying she was “hurt” she was voted off, but “proud” of the contestants who got to stay, and hopes that any negativity online about her stops because women should support each other.
Hilaria recently hit back at claims that she’s a “nepo” wife and Alec got her the spot on “DWTS.”
“If he ever made a call, that would make things easier on me, I would feel like I didn’t deserve it,” she said on Tuesday’s episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast.
“I’m a hard worker. I want to earn things on my own merit,” she added.
Last month, she exclusively told Page Six how the ABC show has been “healing” for her family after a “hard” few years.
She has been under scrutiny for her “fake accent” and Alec, 67, was charged with involuntary manslaughter for the fatal shooting on set of his “Rust” film. The case was dismissed in July 2024.
“‘Dancing With the Stars’ is an amazing family where everybody has been so supportive and they made that possible,” she gushed. “So every day, my kids who have had a really hard past few years, are here and they’re seeing their mom happy and going off to work.”
