In the picture Liam shared on Instagram, Rod's crutches are completely out of sight as they posed in the lobby of the swanky hotel.
Unlike Rod's oldest children like Kimberly Stewart and Ruby Stewart, who have both established careers in the entertainment business. He second-born son is focused on his athletic abilities.
Liam is an up and coming hockey player, who is signed to New Zealand's Queenstown's SkyCity Stampede ice hockey team. Despite breaking many bones throughout his career he said that his father is proud of him, he said:
"Dad's supportive but he would have loved it more if I'd played football because that’s his sport. He loves coming to watch me play, he enjoys watching the sport, but I'm not sure he's always been sure of the rules."
Liam's mother, Rachel Hunter, who was married to Rod from 1990-2006 is proud of his latest accomplishment because she is from New Zealand.
It is reported, even though Rod is a football fan and supports the Celtics, sport is something the two have been able to bond over.
Rod's birthday celebrations come only weeks after him, and his son Sean Stewart were arrested for an altercation with a security guard at a New Year's Eve party at a hotel in Palm Beach, Florida.
According to the Guardian, Rod and Sean have been charged with "simple battery" and will appear at the Palm Beach County criminal justice building in February.
