Besides Alistair and Aiden, Rod has six other children. He is a dad to daughter Sarah, whom he and his ex-girlfriend Susannah Boffey placed for adoption as teens. Rod and his ex-wife Alana Stewart also share a daughter Kimberly and a son Sean.
Rod welcomed his son Liam and daughter Renee with his other ex-wife, Rachel Hunter. He is also a dad to daughter, Ruby, with his ex-girlfriend Kelly Emberg.
As a father of eight, Rod said he had adapted his parenting methods to fit each of his children. He explained that he needed to be several different fathers due to the varying age groups of his kids, emphasizing the importance of treating each one as an individual with unique challenges.
Rod, who has been married to Penny for 16 years, also opened up about what keeps his marriage strong and lasting. The singer said he and his wife have prioritized intimacy and do not take anything for granted.
He explained, “I’m not talking about sex, but a kiss and a cuddle and a hold. Penny and I do that every morning. We hug each other — sometimes in bed, sometimes out of bed, all throughout the day. It’s a wonderful relationship. Lucky geezer, aren’t I?”

Rod Stewart also revealed that Penny mended his broken heart after his ex-wife, Rachel, broke up with him. He and Rachel broke up on a Monday and on Saturday, he met Penny. Six months later, Penny gave him her phone number.
A year after his divorce from Rachel was finalized, Penny and Rod got married in Italy. The two adore their kids Aiden and Alistair but the entire blended family is united, spending special holidays such as Christmases together and celebrating milestones such as weddings as one.
It was in that spirit of togetherness that they reunited when Liam and his long-time love, Nicole, got married in a breathtaking ceremony in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
The lovebirds, who met at a high school party over a game of beer pong thirteen years ago, finally said their vows under the romantic drizzle of rain.

Liam proposed to Nicole after a few weeks, on July 2, 2023, and less than a year later, they exchanged vows in a lovely ceremony.

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. 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.

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.
