Hilaria Baldwin's journey on Dancing With the Stars came to an unexpected end on Tuesday, October 7, leaving fans and fellow contestants surprised. Following her elimination, her husband Alec Baldwin shared a heartfelt message of support on Instagram. "I love you, Hilaria, and I'm proud of you," the actor said in a video. "It's been wonderful for the family to be able to support you as you support us every day. This has been such a large part of your life and this is a dream come true for you. Congratulations and never stop dancing. Never stop dancing, Hilaria. I love you so."
Hilaria and her professional partner Gleb Savchenko became the fourth couple eliminated this season. Even with her ballroom dance experience and solid scores in Week 4, Hilaria and Gleb fell short on viewer votes and were eliminated from the competition. Their exit meant Hilaria missed performing the Dedication Week routine she had planned with Alec, which would have been a tribute to their first wedding dance.
Reflecting on her elimination, Hilaria expressed mixed emotions. "It's a weird combination of feelings. You love everybody and you want to root for everybody. It's the most torn feeling you could possibly imagine," she said. "I'm grateful for every single day that I had with Gleb and to Dancing With the Stars. I'm excited to cheer everybody else on as they continue their journey."
The reality star quickly returned to family life the day after her elimination, enjoying quality time at the beach with her children. She shared moments from the day on Instagram, expressing gratitude to her family, friends, and supporters, while looking forward to cheering on her fellow cast members as the season continued.
Gleb Savchenko also commended Hilaria for her dedication, highlighting how proud he was of her efforts and how grateful he felt for the opportunity to dance with her. He described her as a true superhero both in the studio and on the dance floor, while also praising her as an incredible mother to their seven children.
Hilaria and Gleb's elimination followed those of Lauren Jauregui and Brandon Armstrong, Corey Feldman and Jenna Johnson, and Baron Davis and Britt Stewart, marking a dramatic turn in the 34th season of the ABC series.
