NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: Rod Stewart's daughter Ruby Stewart waited until Mother's Day to reveal to the world that she's now a mother. The singer and model, who is the rock legend's fourth child and third daughter, took to Instagram to announce that she and her fiancé Jake Kalic welcomed a baby boy named Otis Stewart Kalick on May 9.
The heartwarming news comes months after Rod, 78, said his last goodbye to his brother, Bob Stewart, at his funeral. In November 2022, the singer-songwriter shared a statement revealing that Bob died at age 88, just weeks after his oldest brother, Don Stewart, had passed. The decorated musician uploaded a picture of the funeral service held at Islington Burial Chapel in London to social media, which featured his beloved sibling smiling. Sir Rod had bemoaned, at the time, how he had lost "two of his best mates" in just a matter of months. But it seems happier times are finally here for the music icon.

"This love… unlike any other love I've ever known," Ruby, 35, wrote alongside photos of Otis. "I am only a mirror of what I feel from you… I can't remember what life was like before you…. But nothing else matters now that you're here… Your arrival into the world marks the beginning of our family… it all started with you Otis," she added.
Ruby's sister Renee commented on the sweet photos. "Love you so much… can't wait to meet you Otis! ❤️ Aunty Nay Nay x," she gushed. Meanwhile, Jake also shared a photo of his newborn son on Instagram. "Otis Stewart Kalick showed up, 12 days late for his reservation, happy and healthy. Otis' Mom is incredible. Happy first Mother's Day @rubystewart," he wrote.
According to the Daily Mail, Rod first became a grandfather in 2011 when his daughter Kimberly Stewart and actor Benicio Del Toro welcomed a daughter, Delilah, who's now 11. The birth of Otis has made the rocker a grandad for the second time. Then, just days later on May 12, his son Liam Stewart and his partner Nicole Ann announced the arrival of their son Louie, potentially making the 'Maggie May' hitmaker a grandfather of three.
In February, the crooner was all smiles at a baby shower celebrating Ruby's pregnancy. The soiree included family members of both the expecting parents. Rod was seen posing with Jake, Ruby, and her mother Kelly Emberg. Kalic's parents were also present in the photo. The fashion model captioned the photo with several hashtags, including "it's a family affair," "we are having a baby" and "boy."
Rod Stewart has eight children with five different women, including daughters Sarah Streeter, 59, Kimberly, 43, Ruby, 35, and Renee, 30, and sons Sean, 42, Liam, 28, Alastair, 17, and Alden, 12. The mothers of his children include his teen love Susannah Boffey and models Alana Stewart, Kelly Emberg, Rachel Hunter and Penny Lancaster. With his signature raspy singing style, the 'Forever Young' hitmaker is regarded as one of the greatest selling musical artists of all time, having sold over a whopping 250 million records worldwide.
