The singer is now a grandparent after his son and daughter welcomed their first babies a few days apart.

Rod’s son Liam Stewart shared on Instagram that he welcomed his first child on May 12, 2023. He noted that his child had an American, British, Croatian, and Kiwi heritage. He said the child was called Louie Mark Roderick Stewart.

The child has been named after Rod, whose full name is also Roderick. Liam shared a picture of his baby alongside this announcement. The baby was in a Celtic jersey and a beanie and was wrapped in a white baby blanket.

Rod’s daughter Ruby Stewart also shared the news that she had just welcomed her first child. She shared that her baby Otis Stewart Kalick was born on May 9, 2023, weighing 8 lbs and 8oz.

Ruby shared the news along with a picture of her newborn. The baby rested on her lap with her hand supporting the newborn’s head. She captioned the picture:

“This love… unlike any other love I’ve ever known…. I am only a mirror of what I feel from you… I can’t remember what life was like before you…. But nothing else matters now that you’re here… Your arrival into the world marks the beginning of our family…it all started with you Otis….”

Ruby also shared a picture of a happy Rod carrying his grandchild. In the picture, Ruby had her hand over her father’s shoulder and was smiling at her newborn, who was in Rod’s hands. On the other hand, Rod looked at the camera, smiling.

Ruby’s first child was sleeping in his grandfather’s hand with a pacifier in his mouth. The newborn was in a green and white beanie and was wrapped in a light green baby blanket.

Rod also shared on his Instagram photos of himself holding his grandchildren. In one picture, Rod held Otis, while in another, he held Louie. He wrote in the post, “Happy Granddad.”

Rod is super happy to be a grandfather, especially after his wife Penny revealed that they experienced two miscarriages together while trying to have a baby.

Who Are Rod’s Kids Who Just Became Parents for the First Time?
Ruby is Rod’s fourth child. The singer has eight children. Ruby was born on June 17, 1987. Her mother is Rod’s ex-girlfriend, Kelly Emberg, a former model.

Like her father, Ruby has a successful singing career. She sang for the country music duo “The Sisterhood,” which released an album in 2021 before it disbanded.

Penny opened up that she had two miscarriages before she was able to give birth to her two children with Rod.
Currently, Ruby is a solo artist who sometimes performs with his father. In June 2022, the songwriter shared a video of himself and his daughter singing a rendition of “Ooh La La,” a hit song released in 1998.

Ruby is also a model and has been featured in campaigns run by big brands such as “The Nashville Edit,” “Vogue Italia,” and “Glamour Italia.”

The model announced in January 2023 that she was expecting her first child, who she has now just given birth to. She shared an Instagram post of a moving ultrasound image, which she captioned:

“Out of all of the things that happened in 2022 you were by far the most beautiful…We can’t wait to meet you…Baby boy Kalick coming in April… 🤍”

Liam is Rod’s sixth child. He is the son of the musician and his second wife, Rachel Hunter, a New Zealand model. Liam, who is a professional hockey player, was born on September 5, 1994.

The hockey player has played as a forward for “Spokane Chiefs,” “Alaska Aces, and “Milton Keynes Lightning.”

Liam has a strong bond with his younger siblings and once gave fans a look into Rod’s vacation when he shared humorous snaps of the singer’s boys having fun.https://www.instagram.com/p/CsJ0WoEJhgi/embed/captioned/?cr=1&v=14&wp=810&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fthelifestorie.com&rp=%2Flatest%2Frod-stewart-holds-his-newborn-grandsons-born-a-few-days-apart-after-2-past-baby-losses%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A716%2C%22ls%22%3A505%2C%22le%22%3A647%7D

In January 2023, Liam shared the news that he and his girlfriend Nicole Artukovich were expecting their first child together, who they have recently welcomed.

He shared the news alongside an adorable video showing their pregnancy journey and captioned it, “Mom + Dad | Baby Boy joins us in May 👶🏼.”

Rod has amazing children, but he experienced personal trauma when he and his wife tried to have his last two children.

Loss of 2 Babies and Birth of 2 Sons: Together despite It All
Penny and Rod faced personal challenges when they tried to have children. Penny opened up that she had two miscarriages before she was able to give birth to her two children with Rod.

Penny revealed this news in a chat with the “Loose Women” panel. She noted that after she had miscarriages, she became afraid of telling Rod she was pregnant as she did not want to get his hopes high. She revealed:

“…but then we had Alistair, that was all good…it was so many tests, three times and injections and running up down the hill, and you know that kind of the pregnancy went out the window at that point.”

Rod and Penny also tried IVF, and they were finally blessed with two children. Their first child Alastair Wallace Stewart was born on November 27, 2005. Alastair is close to his dad, as the two regularly take Instagram photos together.

Rod once shared that he had a sex talk with Alastair when he learned that his son was now dating girls. The singer noted that he told his son the dos and don’ts, but Alastair, who found the conversation cringe-worthy, said he knew everything as he had the internet.

The 17-year-old is a model and was recently featured in the billboard campaign of “Palm Angels,” a luxury clothing brand.

Rod and Penny welcomed their second child Aiden Patrick Stewart on February 16, 2011. After Aiden was born, Rod told the media that he wanted to spend time with his kids as he had now retired.

The singer added that he was planning a massive vacation with his kids as much as it was hard for him to get them together at the same time due to their busy lives. “But I am so proud of them,” he confessed.

Rod for sure spent more time with his kids as he attended Aiden’s games. In December 2022, he said Aiden went blue and unconscious while playing soccer. The singer added that they thought their son had a heart attack, but it turned out to be a panic attack.

Rod is a proud father and now a grandfather, as his children keep blessing him with grandkids. The singer is excited to wear the grandfather hat, as is seen in the photos he has shared spending time with his grandchildren.
