Rod Stewart's youngest sons, Alastair and Aiden, looked so grown up in a sweet snap shared to social media, which showcased the boys' close bond with their rocker father. Alastair, 19, donned a pair of gingham pants and a partially-unbuttoned black shirt in the photo, with gold chains underneath and his brunette locks slicked back into a bun.
Rod looked content backstage sitting between his sons on the lounge, as he laid a hand on Alastair's shoulder and another on Aiden's knee. The 14-year-old wore blue jeans, a white tee and a black jacket as he hugged his dad, who sported a loose blue shirt and his signature stack of necklaces.

The budding model simply captioned the snap with a heart emoji, as his mother, Penny Lancaster, took to the comment section to sweetly write: "My boys xx". Penny has been married to Rod since 2007, following an eight-year romance.

Fans of the "Maggie May" singer chimed in on the family photo, with one writing: "Great pic of your three handsome boys," while another added: "The Stewart men are all so gorgeous." A third declared that the boys received "good genes from Mom," while another said: "Your boys are adorable!!"
Rod is also a proud father to six other children: Sarah, 61, Kimberly, 46, Sean, 45, Ruby, 38, Renee, 33, and Liam, 31. He welcomed Sarah with his ex-girlfriend, Susannah Boffey, and shares Kimberly and Sean with his ex-wife, Alana Stewart. Ruby was born from his romance with Kelly Emberg, and Renee and Liam arrived during his marriage to Rachel Hunter.
The 80-year-old revealed in 2011 that while it was a challenge to bring all of his kids together for a family event, it was more important than ever as he entered his twilight years.
"I'm trying to make more time now that I've carved out my career. I want to enjoy my kids. We're all planning a massive vacation somewhere. It's hard to get them all together because they are all off in different directions. But I am so proud of them," he told People.

"You set out thinking, 'Okay, I'm going to meet a man, get married, have children', and that's going to be your little cocoon. You don't believe that by adding other pods, other families can join together," she explained.
