Rod Stewart celebrates the wedding of one of his eight children: ‘Extremely proud’

Rod Stewart, 79, has a very large family and he managed to get them all together for the wedding ceremony of one of his eight children. That’s right. The British singer is the father of eight and one of the oldest heirs got married a few days ago in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

The result of Rod’s union with former model Rachel Hunter, with whom he was married from 1990 to 2006, Liam is a hockey player and made his three-year relationship with American Nicole Artukovich, of Croatian roots, official. The singer, who released a new album earlier this year, was beaming as he posed with his extended family outside a church. In addition to his children, grandchildren and ex-wives were in the photo.

“I am extremely proud to have witnessed my son Liam’s beautiful wedding ceremony to his fiancée Nicole,” the patriarch posted. “What a wonderful union between the Stewarts and the Artukovichs. May they continue to find joy, love and laughter as they live and produce many more babies to join their 1-year-old son, Louie.”

Rod Stewart had eight children with four women. His firstborn, the result of his relationship with his then-girlfriend Susannah Boffey, was born in 1963, when Rod was just 18 years old, and was raised by adoptive parents. She only found out about her biological father as an adult, when they reconnected.

The singer’s first marriage was to Alana Hamilton, which lasted between 1979 and 1984, Kimberly and Sean were born. His next relationship, with model Kelly Emberg, lasted seven years, until 1991, and the couple had a daughter, Ruby. With his second wife, Rachel Hunter, he had Renee and Liam. From the current union with Penny Lancaster came Alastair and Ainden.
