And just after daddy’s 66th birthday, speaking of which, Rod said:
“I’m a pretty good 65 and have every intention of being a really strong 85 too. As a parent of a new child, I’ll maybe only be around for 25 years at most. But it will be a happy, loving 25 years.”
Meanwhile, Rod already has six children from other relationships including Kimberly, 30, Sean, 29, Ruby, 23, Renee, 18 and Liam, 5. He also has a daughter called Sarah who was given up for adoption.
