There were also birthday posts from Chynna and Billy's brother, actor Alec Baldwin on their Instagram pages. In Chynna's post, she shared an old photo of Vance from when he was a kid, and added a loving caption, writing:

In Alec Baldwin's post, he shared a picture of Billy and Vance, which he cropped out from his brother's Instagram post, and captioned it by wishing his nephew a happy birthday.

It is good news to see Vance celebrating a new year given the revelation by Billy that Vance was diagnosed with cancer last year.

In an Instagram post, the father of three revealed that Vance had been battling the dreaded disease in the past year, but that the family chose to keep it quiet. However, Vance is now clean of cancer, as he also revealed in a post on his Instagram page.
