Rod Stewart and wife Penny Lancaster have become parents to a new baby boy.

Aiden Stewart was born last night (February 17) and weighed 7lb 12oz.

A spokesman for the couple said: "Rod and Penny are proud and thrilled to welcome Alastair's baby brother Aiden into the world."

The arrival of their new son is Rod Stewart's eighth child - at the age of 66.

Last year Penny suffered a miscarriage before Alastair was born and the couple had IVF for a second child.

Meanwhile, Robbie Williams has taken a keen interest in art and has created a portrait of Rod Stewart, according to reports.
