Hilaria Baldwin heartbrokenly revealed on Instagram that she and her husband Alec recently suffered the loss of their dog Dama.

The 41-year-old fitness author, who is currently a participant on Dancing with the Stars, shared the sad news of her cherished Maltese’s passing on Instagram this Saturday.

‘Rest in peace, sweet Dama. You brought so much joy to our lives…you were that dog that slept on my pregnant belly,’ she wrote.

‘Your life was joyful and fulfilling. I imagine you running through open fields and indulging in all the cookies you love. We are heartbroken but thankful to have had you in our lives.’

Her message was accompanied by a suite of images of Dama through the years, including of her lounging on Hilaria’s baby bump.

The comments section was filled with messages of sympathy, including one from PETA, which said: ‘We were deeply saddened by the news of Dama’s passing. Sending our love and condolences to your entire family.’

The 41-year-old fitness author, who is currently competing on Dancing with the Stars , announced the death of her beloved Maltese on Instagram this Saturday

Hilaria’s personal loss came amid a turbulent run on Dancing with the Stars, where she has been teamed with pro Gleb Savchenko.

She came close to her dance journey ending in week two, with a double elimination kicking out two teams just days ago.

Baldwin and Savchenko scraped through to another round but a social media comment liked by the yoga instructor suggests that she doesn’t think she should have been on the chopping block in the first place.

A Reddit user shared a screenshot of Baldwin’s comment section, where one viewer had disparaged the other contestants as well as the scoring of the show – which Alec Baldwin’s wife had apparently liked. 

‘I loved your dance. Honestly I didn’t understand why the scores were so low,’ the fan had written under a video of her dance.

‘It takes credibility from the show,’ they continued. ‘Other participants didn’t perform as well as you did, and they got higher scores. Very disappointing… not credible at all.’

The comment – which the screenshot shows was liked by the author – was noted by Baldwin’s followers, who took to Reddit to share their distaste.

‘I haven’t seen any of the other stars liking comments that put the other dancers down and say the show lacks credibility because she didn’t get better scores than the other dancers,’ the Reddit user wrote. 

‘Rest in peace, sweet Dama,’ she wrote: ‘You brought so much joy to our lives…you were that dog that slept on my pregnant belly’

Hilaria Baldwin may have been saved from elimination on Dancing With The Stars – but she is still disgruntled that she ended up in the bottom three and isn’t shy about showing it 

They continued: ‘I’ve actually been open to her, even with her dance history, but this is off putting to me.’

Another Reddit user commented: ‘I feel like she’s not good enough to look like a pro and not interesting enough to look like a star – an awkward middle ground.’

‘I think she wrote this comment herself on a burner,’ claimed someone else. ‘I know people here wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, but she really doesn’t seem like a nice person and I don’t think she deserves it.’

‘She’s also posting videos of her kids for sympathy talking about how they were crying when she was last but then realized she had “the most votes,”‘ another cynical viewer wrote. 

‘Here we go, she will blame everyone but herself. Even if she was in second place she would do this, she is ungrateful and cruel,’ another person snarked. 

Corey Feldman and Jenna Johnson, as well as Baron Davis and Britt Stewart, were eliminated on Tuesday night.

It comes after mom-of-seven Baldwin was also blasted by viewers following an interview with Good Morning America after her previous performance. 

Baldwin, who was famously accused of faking a Spanish accent in 2020, appeared to have reverted back to speaking in a slight accent during the interview – which viewers immediately noticed and mocked her for.

‘Why the accent is my only question,’ someone commented on the video, which was shared on social media.

‘The accent. Please stop. She is from Massachusetts,’ slammed another.

‘Why is she talking like a toddler?’ one viewer questioned.

‘Still trying to sound hispanic! Stop it already,’ said another.

‘That fake accent is like nails in a chalkboard,’ declared someone else.

Baldwin talked to Daily Mail in early September, ahead of her DTWS debut, revealing the reason she may have made it onto the show.

The mom, who is active on social media, admitted that her dancing in videos posted to her Instagram account may have led to her landing the gig.

‘I was just playing around, I like to play on my Instagram and TikTok and people started writing in and apparently they were writing to DWTS and then DWTS called me and I was like this is crazy, but like let’s do it, let’s have fun and have an adventure.’

Her spouse has been a prince through it all, she shared: ‘He’s been doing the TikToks with me, hasn’t he? And now he gets a little relief. I’ll be bothering Gleb now.’
