Rod Stewart’s Wild Parenting Rule: ‘Show Up or Lose Your Inheritance!’

Rod Stewart, the legendary British rockstar who is about to kick off his Las Vegas residency, has a big, busy family—eight children in total. With an age range spanning from 61 to 14, it’s no easy feat to get them all in one place at the same time. So, what’s a famous father to do? According to Stewart, he uses an unusual tactic to ensure his kids show up: “If you don’t come, it’s coming out of your inheritance.” A humorous yet effective way of gathering his brood, the iconic singer shared this tidbit in 2020, and it seems to have done the trick.

Rod’s children span multiple generations, with four sons and four daughters, each carving out unique careers and lives of their own. The star’s massive family has had its fair share of drama, from rehab stints to fashion modeling, and even sports stars. Let’s take a closer look at the Stewart offspring.

Sarah Streeter – 61

Rod’s eldest child, Sarah, was born when the singer was just 18 years old. Due to financial struggles, she was put up for adoption by Rod and his teenage girlfriend. It wasn’t until two decades later that they were reunited when Sarah showed up at one of Rod’s recording sessions. Despite the long gap, the father-daughter relationship has evolved, and Sarah now describes their bond as relaxed and loving.

Kimberly Stewart – 45

Kimberly, Rod’s second eldest child, has certainly made a name for herself in the world of fashion. Born to Rod and his first wife, Alana Stewart, Kimberly became a successful model, gracing the covers of prestigious magazines like Vogue, Elle, and Tatler. She also dabbled in acting and even launched her own luxury business in 2021. Kimberly’s daughter, Delilah, born in 2011, is Stewart’s eldest grandchild, whose father is actor Benicio Del Toro.

Sean Stewart – 44

Sean, Rod’s eldest son, has also experienced his share of ups and downs. After struggling with ADHD and childhood trauma, Sean sought help and entered rehab in 2023. Beyond his personal challenges, Sean has pursued music, following in his father’s footsteps, and also appeared in reality TV series Sons of Hollywood. In 2023, he married Jodi Weintraub, the daughter of late music mogul Jerry Weintraub, but the couple separated after just over a year. He’s now dating Julia Stambler, ex-wife of Charlie Sheen.

Ruby Stewart – 37

Ruby Stewart, Rod’s daughter with ex-girlfriend Kelly Emberg, has followed both her parents’ paths. A former fashion model, Ruby transitioned into music, starting her own band, Revoltaire, and later forming a country duo called The Sisterhood. Ruby recently had a baby boy, Otis, with her fiancé Jake Kalick and even joined her father on stage to perform, delighting fans.

Renee Stewart – 32

Renee, Rod’s eldest child with second wife Rachel Hunter, has carved out a career in both modeling and dance. She has worked for major brands like Mulberry and Stella McCartney, and in addition to her modeling career, Renee has pursued dance, working with prestigious festivals and teaching yoga around the world.

Liam Stewart – 30

Liam, born to Rod and Rachel Hunter, is a professional ice hockey player. His career has taken him from the Spokane Chiefs in the Western Hockey League to teams in New Zealand. In 2023, Liam married his fiancée, Nicole Artukovich, in a glamorous Croatian wedding—one of the rare occasions when all of Rod’s children were able to gather. They’ve since welcomed two children, Elsie Skylar Stewart, born in March 2025, and Louie.

Alastair Stewart – 19

Alastair, Rod’s son with wife Penny Lancaster, is a budding model. He has already gained significant recognition, starring in a billboard campaign for luxury brand Palm Angels in 2022. Despite his modeling success, Alastair hasn’t neglected his academics and completed his A-Levels in 2024, much to the pride of his mother, who praised him for his hard work and determination.

Aiden Stewart – 14

Aiden, the youngest of Rod’s eight children, was born in 2011 and is often referred to as a “miracle baby” due to Penny’s struggles with IVF. Aiden has inherited his father’s love for football, and in 2023, his under-13 league team finished as runners-up in their competition. Aiden also faced a health scare in 2022 when he suffered a panic attack during a basketball game, but thankfully, he made a full recovery.

With such a large and diverse family, Rod Stewart has learned the importance of adapting his parenting style to meet the unique needs of each child. Despite the challenges of his large family and busy schedule, Stewart’s ultimate joy comes from seeing his children and wife smile, proving that family remains his top priority—even if it comes with some entertaining conditions for attendance.
