Hilaria Baldwin, wife of actor and vocal Trump hater Alec Baldwin, responded Sunday to questions concerning her Spanish culture and apparently fluctuating Spanish accent.

“I’ve seen chatter online questioning my identity and culture,” the 36-year-old posted to Instagram on Sunday. “This is something I take very seriously, and for those who are asking— I’ll reiterate my story, as I’ve done many times before.  I was born in Boston and grew up spending time with my family between Massachusetts and Spain. My parents and sibling live in Spain and I chose to live here, in the USA. We celebrate both cultures in our home—Alec and I are raising our children bilingual, just as I was raised. This is very important to me. I understand that my story is a little different, but it is mine, and I’m very proud of it.”
