Sir Rod Stewart's grandchild to be named after him in sweet tribute

Sir Rod Stewart will shortly become a grandad once again, as his son Liam Stewart and partner Nicole Artukovich prepare to welcome a baby boy this month.

The proud parents-to-be have already decided on a very special name for their first child, which is a nod to the Maggie May singer.

Liam, 28, is the son of rocker Rod and model Rachel Hunter. Rachel was Rod's second wife and they also share daughter Renee together.

Last weekend, the couple held a baby shower with friends and family in Los Angeles, with the father-to-be enjoying the festivities barefoot.

Their son will be named Louie Mark Roderick Stewart, with one of his middle names of course a tribute to his grandfather.

Liam's mum Rachel confirmed her grandsons name during an interview in New Zealand.

Mum-to-be Nicole shared a series of sweet snaps of the gathering taken on a Polaroid camera. She wrote: "Our little guy is so blessed. We have the most beautiful and loving family and friends…Thank you to my best friend Chanelle and my sisters for giving us a day to remember and my mom for hosting. We love all of you and all those who couldn’t make it but were there in spirit."

And many family and friends commented on the post.

Liam's step-mum Penny Lancaster wrote: "Happiness."

And Liam's mum Rachel simply posted a blue heart emoji.

One friend wrote: "Truly such a perfect day! Can’t wait for Louie to join the crew."

Another added: "Can’t wait to meet baby Louie."

At the start of the year, the couple already began collating a Celtic-themed wardrobe for the tot, after picking up some baby clothes in the Celtic Superstore during a visit to Celtic Park.

Nicole posted a picture on her social media with Liam holding up a Celtic baby grow confirming that their unborn child will be a fan.

And Rod's family is only set to get bigger as his daughter Ruby, is also expecting a baby boy with her fiancé Jack Kalic.

Ruby is the daughter of former model Kelly Emberg, who was married to the musician between 1983 and 1990.

Rod, 77, became a grandfather for the first time in 2011, aged 66, when Kimberley, now 43, had a daughter with actor Benicio Del Toro.
