Sarah Streeter

Rod welcomed his first child, daughter Sarah Streeter, back in 1963 with then partner Susannah Boffey at the age of 17. However, the pair gave Sarah up for adoption, with the young girl being raised by Gerald and Evelyn Thubron.

Sarah only discovered her famous father's identity when she turned 18, but the pair reconciled in 2013 and have since gone on to form a strong bond. Speaking to MailOnline in 2018, Sarah said their relationship had "evolved" a lot, but the pair do refer to each other as 'dad' and 'daughter'.

The star has appeared in films like Black and White, as well as TV series such as Agatha Christie's Poirot and Going to California. In 2011, Kimberly and actor Benicio del Toro welcomed a daughter, Delilah.
