The wedding weekend in Dubrovnik was a family affair, filled with love, laughter, and celebrations. Penny Lancaster, Rod’s wife, shared her excitement on social media, posting pictures from the wedding and expressing her pride in her family.

“Their love is on fire, their light shines so bright. I captured this moment that doesn’t need words. Congratulations, you love birds, I’m [honored] to have been a part of your beautiful celebrations,” she wrote.

Videos and pictures of the wedding showed the couple and attendees joyfully carrying on with the celebrations even though it was raining.

Liam’s sister, Renee Stewart, also shared pictures of the beautiful day on her Instagram stories. She was excited to celebrate her brother’s wedding which coincided with her 32nd birthday.

The wedding featured featured a surprise performance by Petar Graso. Ruby, another of Rod’s daughters, gushed about the wedding, “My little brother got married last weekend to the love of his life… I don’t think I can go to another wedding after this because nothing will ever compare… you set the bar high, Nicole and Liam…”

“We also got to celebrate my little sister Nay Nay’s birthday with a long beautiful dinner followed by karaoke… all I can say is my heart is full, I love my family,” she added.

The couple’s love story is one for the ages. They began dating soon after they met at 16. Nicole moved to California to finish high school and college, while Liam was building his hockey career in Washington and Alaska.

Even though they were far apart, their connection grew stronger. They spent eight years together, explored seven countries, and lived in two. Then, they took a break for three years, but later reignited their romance.

Despite the rain, the wedding was filled with joy and love, capturing the essence of Liam and Nicole’s relationship. The couple’s story, from teenage sweethearts to devoted parents and now husband and wife, is heartwarming. Their love has endured and flourished despite life’s challenges.

As the Stewart family continues to grow, Rod couldn’t be happier. The singer has eight children, each with their own unique path. One of his children, Ruby, has particularly stood out. Born on June 17, 1987, to Rod’s ex-girlfriend Kelly Emberg, Ruby has pursued a career in the entertainment industry.

Interestingly, Rod’s first grandchild arrived just three days before his second. His daughter, Ruby, welcomed her first child on May 9, 2023. Ruby’s son, Otis Stewart Kalick, was born at a healthy weight of 8 pounds and 8 ounces, shortly before his cousin Louie.

Ruby shared the joyful news with a heartfelt message and a photo 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.

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.

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 her pregnancy in January 2023. She shared an Instagram post of an ultrasound picture, 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, born on September 5, 1994, is Rod’s sixth child. He is Rod’s child with his second wife, Rachel Hunter. He has carved out a career in professional hockey, playing as a forward for teams like the 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.

Like his sister, Liam shared on Instagram that he welcomed his first child, Louie Mark Roderick Stewart, on May 12, 2023. He shared the news alongside an adorable video showing their pregnancy journey and captioned it, “Mom + Dad | Baby Boy joins us in May 👶🏼.” He then noted that his child had an American, British, Croatian, and Kiwi heritage.

Similarly, 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.”

Liam and Nicole named the child 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.

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