Congratulations are in order for Sir Rod Stewart, who has become a grandfather for the sixth time following the arrival of his daughter Ruby Stewart's second child.
Ruby, 39, announced the happy news on Instagram, revealing that she and her fiancé, Jake Kalick, had welcomed a baby boy named Levi Rhodes Kalick on August 4.
Sharing a series of intimate photographs of the newborn, the musician revealed that Levi arrived at 6.58pm, weighing 9lbs and measuring 20 inches.

"His name Levi means My Heart and his arrival has grown our hearts to 10 times the size."
A little brother Rod Stewart's grandchild
Ruby, who is already mom to three-year-old son Otis with Jake, described the emotional moment her two children met for the first time.
"Seeing Otis and Levi meet for the first time might have been the greatest experience of my life so far," she shared.
"Otis is already the best big brother and we are already so in love with this sweet boy… Welcome sweet Levi!"
Ruby's mother, former model Kelly Emberg, was also featured in the photographs, beaming as she cradled her newest grandson alongside Levi's paternal grandmother.
Family members were quick to celebrate the new arrival, with Ruby's half-sister Renee Stewart commenting: "Levi. Love you guys."
Proud dad Jake, whom Ruby became engaged to in January 2023, simply wrote: "Boy mom."
Ruby Stewart's pregnancy reveal

The singer looked radiant as she cradled her growing bump in photographs from the event, which she attended alongside Jake and several members of the Stewart family, including her half-siblings Kimberly and Liam.
Ruby, whose mother Kelly dated Rod for several years in the 1980s, has inherited her father's musical talents. She previously performed as one half of country duo The Sisterhood and has also joined her rock legend father on stage.
She and Jake welcomed their first child, Otis, in 2023, shortly after announcing their engagement.
"This love [is] unlike any other love I've ever known," Ruby said following his arrival.

Ruby's happy announcement follows another addition to the family after her half-sister Kimberly Stewart quietly welcomed her second child last year.
Kimberly, 46, is also mom to daughter Delilah and has previously spoken about how dramatically motherhood changed her life.
"I honestly never, ever thought that I could love anything as much as I love her," she said of becoming a mother.
