Music icon Rod Stewart has captured hearts with a heartwarming photo of a special moment with his newborn granddaughter, which was recently shared on social media.
Stewart’s son, Liam, and his wife, Nicole, who already share their 21-month-old son Louie, recently welcomed a baby girl, Elsie Skylar Stewart. Her name is a beautiful tribute to Stewart’s late mother, Elsie Gilbart, who passed away in 1996 at the age of 91.
To celebrate the arrival of their newest family member, the rock legend’s wife, Penny Lancaster, posted a touching photo on Instagram showing their first meeting with little Elsie. In the photo, Stewart sits beside his wife, who lovingly cradles the newborn.
“So proud to meet little Elsie, what an angel,” Lancaster wrote.
“Nicole, Liam and Louie have their baby girl joining them in their new home and how harmonious their are 🩵🤍💗 @itsnicolestewart @discostew94 @sirrodstewart.”
