Rod Stewart Poses with Sons Aiden, 14, and Alastair, 19 – And They Look All Grown Up

Rod Stewart's recent performance drew two familiar supporters backstage, offering a new look at the singer's evolving family life.

A legendary rockstar, a glowing stage, and two striking young men by his side. This was the unforgettable scene as Rod Stewart, 80, made a rare backstage appearance with his youngest sons.

The heartwarming moment unfolded over the weekend, when Alastair Stewart, 19, posted a candid photo to Instagram showing himself and his 14-year-old brother Aiden flanking their famous father.

The trio posed shoulder-to-shoulder, all smiles, with Rod's arm lovingly wrapped around Alastair and his hand resting gently on Aiden's leg. The image depicted a proud father soaking in a family moment that few fans ever get to witness.

"My Boys xx," wrote proud mom Penny Lancaster, 54, in the comments beneath the photo, which also featured clips of Rod's electric performance filmed from the crowd.

A Stylish Red Carpet Reunion Before the Curtain Call

This rare backstage glimpse comes on the heels of several high-profile public appearances from the Stewart clan. Back in May, the whole family turned heads at the global premiere of "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning" in London's iconic Leicester Square.

Rod, never one to blend into the background, arrived in a typically flamboyant ensemble, while Penny stunned in a butter-yellow dress paired with a crisp white blazer. Alastair and Aiden stood tall beside them, both noticeably more grown-up — a new generation of Stewarts stepping into the limelight.

The family paused for photos ahead of the film's debut, giving fans another rare look at Rod with his youngest sons — a visual reminder that while his music legacy is cemented, his role as a father continues to evolve.

A Rock Legend with Eight Children — And a Lifetime of Love Stories

Rod's tender backstage moment also casts light on his ever-expanding family tree. Beyond Alastair and Aiden, the singer is the father of six other children, spanning more than six decades of his life. He is dad to daughters Sarah, 61, Kimberly, 46, Ruby, 38, and Renee, 33, and sons Sean, 45, and Liam, 31.

His eldest daughter, Sarah, was born to Susannah Boffey. He shares Kimberly and Sean with his former wife, Alana Stewart, while Ruby is from his relationship with model Kelly Emberg. Rod welcomed Renee and Liam during his marriage to Rachel Hunter.

It's a lineage born from a lifetime of high-profile romances, and Penny herself has reflected on what it meant to step into Rod's world when they met.

In a revealing interview with Saga magazine, she recalled that Rod didn't want any more kids when they met— a stance she understood, as he was already a father of six. But Penny had her own dreams of motherhood, and she admitted she was prepared to walk away if they couldn't find common ground.

Eventually, they agreed to go with "the flow," and Rod had a change of heart. In fact, Penny revealed they even considered adopting a child five years ago, but decided the age gap would be too wide.

Alastair's Creative Pivot Signals a New Chapter Ahead

As Rod Stewart continues to revel in the joys of fatherhood, his eldest son with Penny is already making bold choices of his own. At the premiere of Sir David Attenborough's "Ocean" documentary, Alastair revealed he had dropped out of the fashion design program he began last year at JCA London Fashion Academy. Instead, he's diving headfirst into film.

He revealed that he had been writing scripts and short pieces and explained how he hopes to build a career in the industry and explore his creative passions further. It's a move that suggests the spotlight — long dominated by his rock legend father — may soon be shared by the next generation.
