Rod Stewart shares new family photo celebrating New Year’s 2024
Rod Stewart rang in the new year paying tribute to his family.
The British rocker posed with wife Penny Lancaster, 52, and their sons Alastair, 18, and Aiden, 12, to celebrate 2024. In the photo, Stewart and his sons are seen wearing traditional kilts, while Lancaster color coordinates by wearing red and black.
“A dedication to my wonderful Scottish father,” Stewart captioned the Instagram photo.
Lancaster also shared the same photo on her profile, captioning it, “First ever #hogmanay boys are proud of their Scottish heritage.
The latest family photo comes after Lancaster shared a rare photo of Stewart with his sister Mary on her 95th birthday.
Stewart and Mary, who are two of five children, are the last surviving siblings. In 2022, Stewart’s brothers, Bob and Don, died two months apart. Stewart wrote an Instagram tribute, in which he described the two men as his “best mates” and “irreplaceable buddies.” Stewart also had a sister Peggy who died in 1975.
Not only does Stewart come from a large family, he has eight kids and a growing brood of grandchildren.
In a new interview with Haute Living, Rod Stewart spoke about his experience parenting and said he doesn’t think he’s “as strict with my kids” as his own mom and dad were.
“I’m very lenient with them. None have gotten into any serious trouble. A couple dabbled with drugs, but that’s all done now. I’m very proud of them all,” he said.
The 78-year-old’s children range in age from 12 to 60 and he said it’s always a thrill to see them when he returns from traveling for work.
“When I’m on the road, I miss my family so much. I miss my wife. I always find them a wonderful luxury when I come home,” he said.

Rod Stewart became a father for the first time in 1963 when he and his former girlfriend Susannah Boffey welcomed a baby girl, Sarah Streeter. The future singing legend was just a teenager at the time and put his daughter up for adoption.
“She was put up for adoption when I was 17 or 18,” he told Joy Behar in 2010. “I was absolutely stone broke and didn’t have a pot to p— in… and so she was put up for adoption.”
In adulthood, Streeter, who is now 60, learned who her biological father was.
“(She) found out who her father was about 15 years ago, but she still had her mother and father who looked after her so I didn’t want to get involved and upset the apple cart,” Rod Stewart continued.
During the interview, Rod Stewart said he and his daughter grew closer after her adoptive parents died.
“Since her mum and dad have died, obviously I’m the biological father, we’ve tried to come together and be close together,” he said. “It’s working out pretty well.”
In 2018, Streeter spoke to The Daily Mail about her relationship with her father.
“There’s no anger there. I never was angry about what happened really, just sad,” she said. “But now I’m older, I see things differently and realize that it has been as difficult for him over the years as it has been for me. Now we’re at the start of a new chapter, and that’s wonderful.”
Rod Stewart and ex-wife Alana Stewart were married between 1979–1984. They welcomed their first child, a daughter named Kimberly Stewart, in 1979.
Now 44, Kimberly Stewart has a daughter of her own, 12-year-old Delilah, with her ex, actor Benicio Del Toro.
In her professional life, Kimberly Stewart has dabbled in multiple careers. Like her mother, she has several acting and modeling credits to her name. She also appeared in 10 episodes of her own reality show, “Living with Kimberly Stewart,” in 2007.
Rod Stewart’s second oldest daughter also has her own luxury lifestyle organizing and curating company called The Realm. In 2021, she told People her famous father inadvertently gave her the idea to start her company when the pandemic hit.
“During the quarantine, I couldn’t stand looking at the chaos going on in my dad’s pantry and kitchen so I got to work,” she said. “I posted it on my Instagram for fun, and the response and feedback were phenomenal. I got direct messages from people asking me to come do their houses. At that point, the idea came to life, and I realized that I needed to reorganize closets professionally.”
Shortly after becoming parents to Kimberly Stewart, Rod and Alana Stewart introduced a new child to the family in 1980: a son named Sean Stewart.
Now 43, Sean Stewart is close in age to Kimberly Stewart and often posts throwback photos of himself and his older sister.
Professionally speaking, Sean Stewart has tried his hand at multiple gigs. Alongside his mother and several of his siblings, he appeared in an eight-episode reality series called “Stewarts & Hamiltons” in 2015. Before that, he starred in “Sons of Hollywood,” a reality series with two other sons of well-known celebrities, in 2007.
Over the years, Sean Stewart has spoken about his drug abuse and has run into legal trouble on several occasions. In 2007, he pleaded not guilty to felony charges that resulted from an alleged attack on a couple outside of a party. The following year, Rod Stewart’s eldest son appeared on VH1’s reality series, “Celebrity Rehab.”
In 2014, Sean Stewart appeared on Brandi Glanville’s podcast and said he had “done enough drugs to kill Hollywood” in the past, adding that he’ll “never go back to that.”
In February 2023, Sean Stewart married Jody Weintraub, the daughter of late producer Jerry Weintraub. As reported by People, the couple tied the knot in Las Vegas shortly after the groom proposed.
These days, Sean Stewart has been busy working on his clothing company, Dirty Weekend, which he enlisted his famous father to promote on social media earlier this year.
