Rod Stewart: Iconic Rock Star and Devoted Father to Eight Children
Beyond his legendary music career, Rod Stewart is also a proud and dedicated father. Over the years, he has embraced fatherhood with eight children from five different relationships, including a daughter he fathered as a teenager and placed for adoption. Despite the early separation, they eventually reunited in a touching twist of fate.
Let’s get to know Rod Stewart’s children:
On August 21, 1979, Rod welcomed Kimberly Stewart, his second child and the first with ex-wife Alana Stewart. Raised by her parents until their 1984 divorce, Kimberly stepped into the spotlight, establishing herself in the fashion world. She graced the covers of renowned magazines like Tatler, American Vogue, and Elle.
In 2021, Kimberly ventured into entrepreneurship with the launch of her luxury organization business, The Realm by Kimberly Stewart. She revealed that the inspiration struck during quarantine: “I couldn’t stand the chaos in my dad’s pantry and kitchen, so I got to work.” After sharing her results online, she received overwhelming interest and decided to turn her talent into a professional endeavor.
Rod’s eldest son, Sean Stewart, was born on September 1, 1980. Following his father’s footsteps, Sean pursued music but gained wider recognition for his role on the 2007 A&E reality series Sons of Hollywood, which followed the lives of young celebrities navigating the challenges of fame. Sean also explored fashion with his streetwear brand, Dirty Weekend, seeking advice from his longtime friend and Talentless designer Scott Disick. “He’s always been great at giving guidance,” Sean shared.
Ruby Stewart, Rod’s fourth child, was born on June 17, 1987, during his relationship with model Kelly Emberg. Ruby carved her entrepreneurial path as the founder and CEO of BESO Shade, a clothing brand specializing in protective sportswear for women. Her Instagram showcases her dedication to creating stylish and functional options for active lifestyles.
Rod’s fifth child, Renee Stewart, was born on June 1, 1992, to New Zealand model Rachel Hunter. Renee found her passion in the arts, excelling as a dancer. Her social media highlights her love for wellness, which she shares as a yoga and meditation instructor.
Liam McAlister Stewart, Rod’s sixth child, was born on September 5, 1994, during his marriage to Rachel. Raised in California, Liam pursued a career in hockey, playing for the Spokane Chiefs in the Western Hockey League before joining professional teams in the Elite Ice Hockey League and later in New Zealand.
Rod’s seventh child, Alastair Wallace Stewart, was born in November 2005 to Rod and model Penny Lancaster. While he keeps a low profile, Alastair is passionate about swimming, competing in—and winning—several races. Reports suggest that Rod has supported his son’s Olympic dreams by planning to build a training pool at their U.K. estate. In addition to his athletic pursuits, Alastair has dabbled in modeling, following in his mother’s footsteps.
