• Father of eight, Rod Stewart, and his wife of 15 years are expecting two grandsons at the same time. They'll be grandparents of a baby boy for the first time!

• After such happy news, the singer got very emotional - he made jokes, sang, and danced in a video.

• The star's grandsons' fathers and dates of birth are revealed.

On January 14, 2023, Liam Stewart, Rod Stewart's son, and his girlfriend, Nicole Ann Artukovich, took to Instagram to share some exciting news. The couple included a black-and-white video reel to make their announcement.

Alongside Father John Misty's song, "Real Love Baby," Liam was seen holding up ultrasounds of their upcoming baby! His girlfriend also showed off her growing baby bump as she lay on a bed.

The rest of the couple's clip showed the pair celebrating the holidays with a Christmas tree and Liam lying on Artukovich's belly as she brushed his hair. The couple captioned the post noting how a "mom + dad" equaled a baby boy that would be joining them in May 2023.

Liam's family rushed to the comment section to congratulate the happy couple. Rod's other child and Liam's sister, Ruby Stewart, who was also expecting a child in 2023, said she was ugly crying, declared her love for the pair, and said she was happy for the duo!

Liam's other two sisters, Renee and Kimberly Stewart, also shared their excitement, with the former writing how she loved the couple, while the latter said the news was "the best." Penny Lancaster, Rod's current wife and Liam's stepmother, shared the couple's joy.

She said the news was "beautiful" and admitted to being unable to stop watching the clip. Liam's brother, Alastair Stewart, wrote, "congratulations!!," with two red heart emoticons added.

Rachel Hunter, Rod's ex-wife and Liam's mother, revealed that she loved the couple and was excited to see them become the best mother and father. Hunter said she couldn't wait for the arrival and was happy to be able to tell everyone finally.

Rod's first ex-wife, Alana Collins Stewart, also congratulated the couple. Liam and his partner's news was extra exciting because Ruby announced her pregnancy two weeks before, which meant the Rock 'n Roll icon would receive two grandsons in 2023!

On January 2, 2023, Ruby also took to her Instagram page, announcing that she was pregnant! The star's daughter revealed she was expecting by sharing a video of the ultrasound of her baby moving in her belly.

In the caption, she noted how the most beautiful thing to happen to her in 2022 was finding out she was pregnant. Ruby said she couldn't wait to meet the child and revealed she was expecting a baby boy with her partner, Jake Kalick.

Rod's daughter shared that her son was anticipated to arrive in April 2023. Rudy's family jumped into the comment section to share her happiness and congratulate her.

The famous singer noted how "happy" he was for the couple. Kimberly joked about the child having a "Stewart nose" even though the image wasn't that clear to show such details.

Renee shared how much she loved the couple. Rod's current wife of 15 years, in early 2023, and Ruby's stepmother, Lancaster, confessed that she couldn't wait to meet the little boy.

The iconic musician's first wife described the pregnancy news as "wonderful" and said she was happy for the couple. Kelly Emberg, Ruby's mother and Rod's former partner, shared how she couldn't wait to meet her grandson and described him as a "miracle."

Besides his simple comment on Ruby's social media post, Rod had more to say about welcoming another grandchild. There was shouting, screaming with glee, and singing from the Stewarts.

Rod's Reaction to News about His First Grandson

Besides Ruby's post announcing her pregnancy, she also shared two Instagram Story videos. In the clips, she and her boyfriend were surrounded by Rod and the rest of the family as they revealed they were expecting a baby boy.

In a short Instagram clip Rod shared on January 8, 2021, he shouted, "Born a Celtic!" as he listened to the gender reveal. Ruby joked that it was wise to hire her father for their gender reveals because of his enthusiasm, with a fan noting:

"I love how Rod is such a caring and loving family man."

Jake received a hug from his girlfriend while the rest of the family screamed with joy. Rod was so thrilled with the exciting news that he began singing, "Another winkle in the Stewart family," leading his daughter to write:

"He will even write a custom jingle for your unborn child."

The little boy was going to be the second grandchild of the legendary singer. It's been years since the rock star became a first-time grandfather after one of his other children welcomed a child.

Rod Is a Doting Grandfather to His Only Granddaughter

In August 2011, Rod became a first-time grandparent at age 66 when Kimberly welcomed her first child, a baby girl. He and Lancaster were by Kimberly's side when she gave birth at Los Angeles' Cedar Sinai Hospital.

Kimberly's mother was one of the first family members to meet the child her daughter shared with Benicio del Toro as she was there for the birth. Three of Rod's wives were present for the meeting, including his second one, Hunter, with the singer stating:

"My joy is indescribable."

The baby's arrival happened on a particular day for Kimberly - her 32nd birthday. The following day after his daughter gave birth, the musician was by her side again to see her and his first grandchild.

The star [Rod Stewart] hilariously explained that Delilah [Genoveva Stewart del Toro] thought he was a lion with all his hair!

However, he didn't arrive alone as his current wife, Alana, Sean, Kimberly's brother, and their six half-siblings were in attendance to help the new mother. Rod noted how they didn't always agree but got along.

Rod sang the name of his first grandchild, "Delilah," after her birth and noted how he was now a grandfather. He couldn't hold his excitement and revealed he'd been "going around blabbing that" for hours!

In January 2013, Rod took his daughter and granddaughter out for breakfast in Beverly Hills. The star gladly pushed Delilah's pram while Kimberly walked next to them with the little girl wearing black tights, a polka dot dress, booties, and a headband.

In November 2015, Kimberly uploaded an Instagram photo of her father sitting with a plate on his head while Delilah looked on unimpressed with her arms folded across her chest. Rod's daughter teased that the growing Delilah was thinking, "So mature, Grandad!"

In May 2020, Rod's granddaughter was eight and doted on by her grandfather. During an interview, Rod confessed that having a grandchild was "wonderful;" however, he admitted that he didn't get to see her as much as he would've liked and also because she was shy around him.

The star hilariously explained that Delilah thought he was a lion with all his hair! However, that didn't stop him from loving her and thinking she was absolutely "gorgeous," and in early 2023, Rod was a father of eight, with his youngest child being Aiden, whom he had with Lancaster.
