Sir Rod Stewart becomes a grandfather for fourth time as hockey player son Liam welcomes new daughter

Sir Rod Stewart has a new granddaughter.

The 80-year-old veteran rocker’s hockey player son Liam welcomed the new addition with his wife Nicole.

The couple, who already share a son, Louie, aged 21 months, took to social media to share a slew of images of their newborn.

They looked every inch the happy family as they posed together for snaps cooing over the new arrival in hospital shortly after her birth.

In the accompanying caption, they revealed the younger’s adorable name which is a tribute to a late family member.

“Elsie Skylar Stewart. Our sweet little pea born 03/02/25,” wrote proud mum Nicole.

The tot’s name is a nod to the Maggie May hit-maker’s mother, Elsie Gilbart, who died in 1996 aged 91.

A number of famaily members rushed to the comments section to send their well wishes.

Among them was Stewart's ex-wife and Liam's mother, who penned: “I can't wait to meet you. Bursting with love.”

Meanwhile, Stewart’s current wife Penny Lancaster wrote: “So adorable, can't wait to meet Louie's little sister Elsie.”

Alana Hamilton Stewart - the music icon’s first wife and the mother of his children Kimberly, Ashley and Sean - added: “Congratulations!! She's beautiful!”

Also sending their best was Stewart’s model daughter Ruby, who he shares with Kelly Emberg.

She wrote: “Welcome to the Stewart family Little Elsie!”

Stewart has yet to publicly comment on the arrival of his fourth grandchild but he’s sure to be over the moon.

Speaking about becoming a grandfather for the first time in 2011, he told People: "My joy is indescribable."

It’s a big year for Stuart as baby news aside, he also turned 80 in January.

He celebrated his milestone birthday in style with his nearest and dearest, including hiring out a $150million super yacht for a holiday of a lifetime in the Carribean.
