Stephen Baldwin is one proud grandpa.
The actor, 58, gushed about daughter Hailey Bieber and her son, Jack Blues, 3 months, ahead of his appearance on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
“He’s grown like a weed. Actually, he looks like a little plump potato,” Baldwin told TooFab in an interview published Monday, December 16. “He’s so cute. I can’t stand it. I want to say so much.”
Baldwin noted that he and the family are “getting ready for Christmas” with baby Jack Blues, who will celebrate his 4-month birthday on December 22. “We’re excited,” Baldwin added.
Hailey Bieber’s Dad Credits Her for Helping Husband Justin Bieber ‘Survive’
Hailey, 28, shares Jack Blues with husband Justin Bieber, whom she wed in 2018. The duo announced the birth of their first child in August when Justin, 30, shared a pic of the little one’s foot with the caption, “WELCOME HOME.”
Jack Blues is still too young to talk, but Stephen — who became a grandfather in 2020 thanks to his other daughter, Alaia Baldwin — already knows what he wants to be called.
“Grampy. We’re going with Grampy. But it’s with a W. A lot of people don’t know that,” he told TooFab. “So G-W-A-M-P-Y is Gwampy. So that’s kind of the handle I’ve been going with. It was my granddaughter Iris, my first grandchild. It was the name she gave me.”
Alaia, 31, welcomed Iris, now 4, with husband Andrew Aronow in 2020. (Stephen shares Alaia and Hailey with wife Kennya Baldwin, whom he wed in 1990.)
Since Jack Blues arrived, Hailey and Justin have been enjoying bonding at home with their son.

“It’s total bliss for the two of them,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in August, adding that Hailey is “enjoying and savoring these moments being a new mom.”
Earlier this fall, Hailey opened up about balancing her career with new motherhood, explaining that she took a soft break before returning to work on her skincare brand, Rhode.
“I’m only doing what feels comfortable for me physically, mentally and emotionally,” she told Women’s Wear Daily in October, noting that she thinks of Rhode as the “toddler” in her life.
She went on to say that she’s learned a lot of lessons since launching the brand in 2022. “Mistakes are going to happen,” she explained. “[There] will be bumps in the road, which are out of your control. But you need to pivot, run and work with them as they come.”
