Music star Rod Stewart showed everyone how much he loves being a grandpa at his recent concert in Spain. During the show, the 78-year-old singer stopped singing to bring his two new grandsons, Louie and Otis, on stage for the first time. It was a sweet moment that made fans smile.
Rod’s daughter Ruby, who is 35, had her baby boy Otis on May 9 with her fiancé Jake Kalic. Just a few days later, on May 12, Rod’s son Liam, who is 28 and plays ice hockey, welcomed his son Louie with his partner Nicole Ann. Both babies are brand new, and Rod was so excited to share the stage with them.
Ruby posted a cute picture on Instagram of Otis on stage. He was wearing big headphones to protect his ears and covering his face with his hands because the lights and sounds were a bit too much. She wrote, “Grandad’s show was a little too bright and loud for me.” Ruby also shared a photo with Nicole, calling them “stage moms.”
Right now, Louie and Otis are on a family vacation in Marbella, Spain, with their parents, aunts, uncles, and the whole Stewart family. Everyone is having fun together. Rod posted a picture of himself holding the boys, saying, “Louie on the right wing — Otis on the left wing — Grandad down the middle,” like they were a sports team.
Rod has been a grandpa since 2011, when his daughter Kimberly had a girl named Delilah, who is now 11. In May, the family had a big party to meet Louie and Otis. Rod held both babies in sweet photos, calling himself a “Happy Grandad.” His wife, Penny Lancaster, also shared pictures of her cuddling the little ones.
Rod has eight kids with five different women. His children are Sarah (59), Kimberly (43), Sean (42), Ruby (35), Renee (30), Liam (28), Alastair (17), and Alden (12). He’s had them with people like Susannah Boffey, Alana Stewart, Kelly Emberg, Rachel Hunter, and Penny Lancaster. Ruby, who had Otis, is his fourth child, from his time with model Kelly Emberg.
Rod is a famous singer who has sold over 250 million records around the world. His rough, cool voice makes him one of the best-selling artists ever. He’s taking a break from his big world tour to spend time with his family. On Saturday, he took a rare photo with seven of his eight kids and three of his grandkids, showing how much he loves being with them.
This special moment with Louie and Otis on stage, and the family time in Spain, show that Rod Stewart is not just a music legend but also a proud and happy grandpa.
