Hailey Bieber's dad Stephen Baldwin is keeping his head up following her recent revelation that the two have become distant from each other.
One day after the Rhode founder — who is expecting her first child with husband Justin Bieber — confessed to W Magazine that she is "not super close" with her family "at this point" of her life, her dad, whose brother is Alec Baldwin, shared a cryptic, if confounding video with fans maintaining he is "staying positive."
In addition to the soon-to-be first time mom, The Usual Suspects actor and his wife Kennya Deodato Baldwin, who he married in 1990, also share daughter Alaia Baldwin, 31, who recently made headlines after she was arrested for assault and battery over an altercation at a Georgia club.
Following Hailey's revelation, Stephen took to Instagram and shared a video of himself in which he appears to be driving in his car, as he tentatively looks at the camera and softly says: "I love you," before a long pause.
He then wrote in his caption: "Today, staying positive is a choice!!" adding: "So I'm trusting in the power of joy, peace, and happiness."
"Finally if anyone hasn't told you today, I LOVE YOU," he concluded, and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post with mixed reactions.
"Give him a break people!!! He is just a loving parent," one of his fans argued, as others followed suit with: "Stephen that felt very genuine and sincere," and: "In the end… Love is all there is!!!" as well as: "You're a wonderful soul Stephen!"

This isn't the first time Stephen turns heads — and makes headlines — for cryptic social media activity tied to Justin and Hailey.

"Obviously, I come from the family that I come from, and I always recognized that that was different," she noted, before emphasizing: "But when I look back on my childhood and how I grew up, I have very fond, beautiful memories."
