The 41-year-old mother of seven and wellness influencer cried once she realized her Dancing with the Stars journey is over.
Hilaria, fighting back tears, told People, "I mean, the only reason I'm sad is because I was so happy. I was so happy. And so, that's an important thing to remember. Sadness comes from missing something that was wonderful."
The author and former yoga teacher called Dancing with the Stars "a wonderful experience," and she said she was "happy" to have been partnered with Gleb.
Gleb, for his part, commended Hilaria on weeks of "tireless" hard work in rehearsals.
"You put your heart and soul into dance," Gleb gushed of his celebrity partner.
"You had so much passion and love for it and I truly appreciate it because I've been doing this for 35 years, and I know how hard it is and I know how much work it takes to perfect things."
Gleb continued, "I know how much it meant for you to continue on but, look, we got a chance... I had a chance to dance with you for four weeks and I'm just so proud of you and let's just go and continue practicing tomorrow. You never know."
Hilaria also told the magazine that she's "so grateful" and "so proud" of the rest of the Dancing with the Stars cast and she'll be "rooting for them" from now on.
"There's 10 votes, so I can give one equally to each one of them because I love them all equally," Hilaria said.
"So, no. No, this has only been a wonderful experience and I'm happy I got to do [it] with [Gleb]."

On Tuesday night's episode of Dancing with the Stars, Hilaria and Gleb received mixed feedback from DWTS judges Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli for their 23 point-worthy quickstep that was inspired by Star Wars.
In fact, while Derek was criticizing the routine, saying he was still waiting for Hilaria to have her "breakout" moment on the show and for her to show the world who she is, Carrie Ann and Bruno interrupted and disagreed with him.
"The force is still with you!" Bruno shouted, adding how he didn't see Hilaria do anything wrong.
Carrie Ann also praised Hilaria for dancing for herself because it clearly brings her joy.
After the episode aired, Hilaria made headlines for grabbing Dancing with the Stars' host Alfonso Ribeiro's microphone away from him to say her final words at the end of the broadcast.
Hilaria also publicly denied Dancing with the Stars co-host Julianne Hough's recent claim about how Hilaria was originally cast on the show, igniting rumors of a feud between the ladies.

Reports had also swirled in September that Hilaria was acting like a diva off-camera and making demands because she was "obsessed" with winning Dancing with the Stars this season.
