Rod Stewart is a grandfather for the second time as his son Liam has welcomed his first child.

The singer has eight children – including new dad Liam, 28, – and one other grandchild named Delilah.

He has now become a grandad for the second time as the newborn arrived.

The new parents took to social media to share the new baby's new name.

Sharing a photo of the newborn on his Instagram, wearing a Celtic shirt and hat, Liam penned: "Welcome lad love you. American, British, Croatian, Kiwi. Louie Mark Roderick Stewart 5.12.23."

Many friends and family took to the comments section to congratulate the family on their new arrival.
