And finally, to the pages of Hello!, where Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster joyfully present their beautiful baby boy, and, perhaps more importantly, the 66-year-old singing legend offers a shining example to other expectant fathers.
His wife reveals that when she announced she was about to go into labour, Stewart responded by packing a selection of swimming trunks for himself. "I went prepared!" he proudly announces, the father remaining stylish famously being the key factor in any water birth. Furthermore, he seems to have offered the kind of support every new mother craves, having worked out that what she really needs in the difficult first weeks is a husband moaning that she's not giving him enough attention. "In the second week, Rod said, 'I really miss my playmate,' which meant me as we do everything together – working out, shopping, eating out. I burst into tears."
LiS awaits with eagerness the publication of Stewart's own "controversial" guide to parenting: I Don't Want To Talk About It, I Want To Talk About Me.
