“Hilaria has had a far more complex and chaotic upbringing than she lets on and I think that’s why we’ve maybe bonded in someways?” Ireland continued. “She didn’t always feel safe and seen. Sometimes, she is too loyal to a fault. She is eccentric and totally bat s–t crazy (in a fun way) but she saved my dad’s life.”
Crediting her stepmom with helping to turn her dad’s health around and show him “the forgiveness and kindness that he needed,” she continued, “She also recognizes and nourishes the parts of my father that are the most compassionate and wonderful.”
And Hilaria’s ability to help Alec through a difficult period has positively impacted Ireland’s own bond with her dad, who shares kids Carmen, 11, Rafael, 10 Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 7, Eduardo, 4, María Lucía, 4, and Ilaria, 2, with the Yoga Vida founder.
