In the interview, the model, 27, said: "I had a fairly normal childhood. Obviously, I come from the family that I come from, and I always recognized that that was different.

"I'm not super close with my family at this point in my life because I feel like I'm very independent. I'm my own individual now, and I've built my own family. But when I look back on my childhood and how I grew up, I have very fond, beautiful memories."

Baldwin's daughter addressed the gossip about her marriage in a cover issue.

She said: "People have made me feel so bad about my relationship since day one. 'Oh, they're falling apart. They hate each other. They're getting divorced.' It's like people don't want to believe that we're happy.

"I used to try to act like it hurts less and less. I've tried to think that you get used to it at a certain point, that this is what's going to be said and this is how people are going to be. But I realize that it doesn't actually ever hurt any less."

After Baldwin vaguely called for prayers for his daughter and son-in-law, the Rhode skincare founder posted her own message on Instagram denying "blind items" about her marriage.

She wrote in an Instagram story: "Just FYI the stories and constant 'blind items I see on TikTok are 100% of the time wrong. Made out of thin air… come from the land of delusion. So I know it may be fun feeding into these stories but just know they're always false xx sorry to spoil it."
