Rod Stewart became a grandfather to a baby girl for the first time, nearly 70 years ago. His two ex-wives and the current one made sure they were present for the birth of the rock star’s granddaughter, and he has since spoken extensively about the endearing role. .

In August 2011, Rod Stewart was just 66 when he first became a grandfather to a granddaughter. According to Daily Mail, the star was delighted with her new role and said the arrival of her granddaughter was one of the happiest days of her life.

Rod’s daughter, Kimberly Stewart, was the child who made him a grandfather to a granddaughter. His current wife, Penny Lancaster, was by his and her daughter’s side when Kimberly gave birth to her first child.

The legendary singer’s granddaughter, Delilah, was welcomed by Kimberly and her former boyfriend, Benicio del Toro. The baby girl was born at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

Early visitors who helped welcome Delilah included Kimberly’s mother, Alana Collins, Rod’s first wife. The musician’s second wife, Rachel Hunter, also visited Kimberly and the newcomer in the hospital.

The iconic singer’s other children, Renee and Sean, also came to see the newborn. Speaking of the birth of his first grandchild, Rod said, “My joy is indescribable.”

People magazine revealed that they celebrated Delilah’s arrival by throwing a party at Dan Tana’s house in Hollywood. The event was to celebrate Kimberly’s 32nd birthday and the fortuitous birth of her child.

Kimberly’s child has joined Rod’s blended family, including his daughter’s biological brother, Sean, and their seven half-siblings. In August 2015, Kimberly told Hello! that her father was “very involved” in raising his daughter and served as a “peacemaker”.

The singer’s then 35-year-old daughter shared with the publication that she was “going out here and there but no one I would like to introduce Delilah to.” After the birth of his granddaughter, Rod admitted to USA Today that he couldn’t stop talking about Delilah, saying:

“I’ve been talking about this for hours now.”

Kimberly revealed how filming ‘Hamiltons & Stewarts’ with her blended family forced them to deal with their issues. Rod’s daughter confessed that her family was not perfect and that she and her mother argued frequently, but always reconciled.

She explained how being on the reality show forced them to talk and walk away from the issues. In May 2020, Rod spoke candidly about his family and admitted it was “difficult” to reunite all of his children.

From a teenage relationship, the “Reasons to Believe” singer welcomed a daughter, Sarah, and Kimberly and Sean were from his marriage to Alana. With Kelly Emberg he welcomed Ruby, and with Rachel he had Renee and Liam.

The rock legend and his current wife also share two sons, Alastair and Aiden. Speaking to the Daily Mirror, the entertainer revealed he has a clever way of bringing his children together.

The star explained how his brood always said they had plans whenever he wanted to see them. So Rob found a way to force them together by making a threat, where he jokingly told them:

“‘If you don’t come, it comes from your heritage.’ So they show up.”

WHEN DELILAH WAS BORN, HER PARENTS WERE NOT TOGETHER

In April 2011, sources claimed that Kimberly had hoped to live “happily ever after” with Del Toro. The model and actor hadn’t dated while Rob’s daughter was pregnant, and until then, her relationship with Del Toro hadn’t made public news.

However, the former couple agreed to stay on good terms for Delilah’s sake. Insiders close to the famous singer’s daughter claimed that Kimberly had hoped for “something more” with her ex and was “secretly upset” that Del Toro was not looking to start a family.

According to a source from People magazine, the former couple had been together for years before their split. The insider claimed that the couple’s relationship was not solid as they broke up and reconciled for a while.

The Oscar winner’s rep revealed that Del Toro was “very supportive” of her ex during her pregnancy. However, fans needn’t have expected to see the duo shopping for baby clothes as Kimberly preferred to keep her privacy to herself.

The birth of Delilah brought joy to her mother but also reignited Rod’s writing abilities. The singer-songwriter confessed that the birth of the child inspired him to write songs again, which he “never would have thought [he’d] do.”

The girl, [Delilah Stewart] whose mother [Kimberly Stewart] described her as “the greatest thing of my life”, would be eleven years old.

The “I Don’t Want To Talk About It” musician said he writes about his childhood, his divorce and more. Rod noted that his gift had been dormant for 17 years and he had no idea why it had suddenly returned.

In June 2012, when Delilah was ten months old, the media obtained a good quality photo of her on a date with her mother. She was pictured hugging Kimberly as the model dated actor Scott Caan.

The ‘Living with Kimberly Stewart’ star once said his daughter “definitely” looks like her dad. However, the ‘You’re in My Heart: Rod Stewart with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’ star’s child also noted that the little girl had the color of her eyes and her legs.

DELILAH’S NEXT BIRTHDAY AND BEING RAISED WITH LOVE

In August 2022, Delilah was now ten years old and happy in her blended family despite her parents no longer being together. When this article was published, Rod’s only granddaughter was due to have her birthday in three weeks.

The little girl, whose mother described her as “the greatest thing in my life”, would be eleven years old. By 2015, Kimberly had toned down her party days and enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom.

She and her baby girl lived with Kimberly’s half-sister, Ruby. The trio stayed together in a Beverly Hills home built on the grounds of the rock ‘n roll singer’s estate, and according to some reports, Rod had more than enough grandsons under his belt.
