Rock star Rod Stewart and wife Penny Lancaster are celebrating the birth of their son, Aiden, who came into the world on Wednesday weighing in at a very respectable 7lb 12 oz.

The couple has said that they are "proud and thrilled" to announce the "long awaited arrival" of their second child – a brother to their five-year-old son Alastair.

Penny expressed her joy at being pregnant again back in August after undergoing the grueling procedure of IVF three times. “I couldn’t believe it. I burst into tears. I called Rod when I was still sobbing. Rod said, 'I’m in the middle of a restaurant in Russia, crying.' I kept pinching myself."

A spokesperson for the couple has said that both “mother and baby are healthy and blissfully happy.”
