Rod Stewart poses with his 7 children and newborn grandsons in rare family photo — see the rock star’s family

Sir Rod Stewart is many things: a rock legend, a sex symbol, a knight. But at 78, Stewart is most busy being a grandpa.

The “Maggie May” singer has quite a family: he is the father of eight children by five mothers, and is now a grandfather of three, after welcoming two grandchildren just days apart back in May.

Recently, fans got a rare glimpse of the whole family together as Stewart posted for a heartwarming family photo.

Stewart’s daughter Kimberly, 43, shared the photo taken while the family was all together in Spain. In addition to Kimberly, Stewart is seen with his wife Penny Lancaster and most of his kids: Sean, 42, Ruby, 36, Renee, 31, Liam, 28, Alastair, 17, and Aiden, 12.

Also spotted are Stewart’s newborn grandsons: Liam’s son Louis and Ruby’s son Otis.

Seven of Rod’s eight children are present: the only one not seen is Sarah Streeter, 59, the singer’s first child whom he put up for adoption. The two have reconciled after being estranged for many years, but she wasn’t present for this family gettogether.

Also missing from the photo is his granddaughter Delilah, born in 2011 to Kimberly and actor Benicio Del Toro.

But besides those two absences, the pic is a rare glimpse at Stewart’s large family.

The Stewart clan has had an exciting year, after two grandchildren were born in the same week in May. Otis was born on May 9, and Louie arrived just days later on May 12.

Louie’s full name is Louie Mark Roderick Stewart, with “Roderick” in honor of his famous grandpa. Rod also helped reveal the gender of Otis and reportedly sang a “custom jingle” for the baby.
