Rod Stewart Shows Love to Only Grandchild in Rare Pic - News about Future Grandkids Made Him Emotional

• Rod Stewart became incredibly emotional and happy when he became a grandfather for the first time more than a decade ago.

• He shared a rare photo with his only grandchild, whose father is a famous Puerto Rican actor.

• Rod got emotional again when he learned his family's baby news which would change his life completely.

Rod Stewart might be one of the biggest musical names in the world, but to his family, he is simply a beloved father and grandfather. He has had extensive success in his career, but those he is most proud of came from his home.

The musician has welcomed eight children into the world, and more than ten years ago, one of those children gave him his first grandchild. He was ecstatically happy to get the news that his family would expand.

Stewart was so excited about his first grandchild that he accidentally revealed the child's name before her parents could do so. In an interview where he was gushing about the new addition to his family, he shared that his granddaughter's name was Delilah.

The rockstar said that ever since she was born to her mother, Kimberley, and father, Benicio Del Toro, he had been walking around singing songs about Delilah. He also said he had been going around telling people he was a grandfather for hours when she was born.

Stewart revealed that everyone had rallied around his daughter at the hospital when she was giving birth to her daughter. He then shared:

"My joy is indescribable."

He then confessed that his granddaughter being born had caused him to begin writing music again, which he didn't think he would. He wrote about his divorces, his childhood, and other things which he thought were dormant inside of him.

How Does Stewart's Granddaughter Look Now in New Photo?

Like many celebs, Stewart prefers to err on the side of privacy where his family is concerned. Because of this, he doesn't often share pictures of his children or grandchildren on his widely followed social media pages.

However, this week he took to Instagram to share a photo of himself, his daughter, his granddaughter, and Del Toro. They all stood in a line, with Kimberley and Stewart looking at the camera and Del Toro and Delilah looking at something outside the frame.

Stewart did not add any caption aside from three heart emojis. However, fans were most taken with the fact that Delilah looked so much like her father. The young girl shares her father's dark features, unlike her mother and grandfather.

While some fans commented on the fact that she looked so much like her paternal side of the family, others simply admired the family. One fan talked about how close Stewart kept his family, despite divorces and blended family dynamics.

The fan said that even though Del Toro is only his granddaughter's father and not a blood relation, he treats him like family nonetheless. She said:

"What I love about him is the family. It's so extended, and the ex-wives get along, even this shows. It's his granddaughter's Dad, and he treats him like family. It's really awesome!"

Another fan took to the comments section to simply post "family forever" punctuated by a heart emoji. Other fans left loving comments for the family, too, in what was a rare occurrence of Stewart showing his granddaughter off on social media.

Like Stewart, Kimberley shared the same photo on her social media and revealed that the family had taken a trip to Puerto Rico. The picture was snapped outside Casa Galguera in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Kimberley's fans were also charmed to see that she and her daughter's father were spending quality time together. Some also mentioned how much her daughter had grown and how fast time had gone.

What? More Grandkids?

While Stewart felt immensely happy at welcoming Delilah into the family and has loved her very much since she was born, the family is now expanding once again with the addition of some new grandchildren.

On January 8, Stewart took to Instagram to announce that his daughter, Ruby, was expecting a baby boy. Their gender reveal was simply Stewart taking a piece of paper from an envelope and mentioning that the couple was expecting a boy.

There were cheers, and happy tears from all those in attendance at the gender reveal. The camera then pans back onto Stewart, who is holding his fist in the air with excitement at the prospect of a grandson. He then sang:

"Another wrinkle in the Stewart family."

Ruby joked that her father wrote a jingle for her unborn child. She also shared the news of her son's pending birth on Instagram by sharing a sonar video. The baby can be seen moving around on the scan, and his mother captioned the video saying he was the best thing to come out of 2022.

She then revealed that he would be born in April, and Ruby's family quickly added their excitement to the comments section. However, this is not the only grandchild that Stewart will be welcoming this year.

Stewart's son, Liam, is also expecting a bundle of joy later this year. Liam's partner took to Instagram on January 14 to reveal they were expecting a baby. She shared an adorable video of her pregnancy thus far and said their son would be born a month after his cousin in May.

While he is welcoming more grandchildren into the family, Stewart has said that this year will be his last tour. He confirmed he was not retiring from music, but instead, he was giving himself a rest from touring due to his age.

He said while he would no longer be on the road, he would be exploring music in a different way from what he did before. He mentioned he might try performing in some clubs and stay closer to home.
