Wishing her step daughter all the best, Penny wrote: ‘Happy birthday beautiful @renee_stewart’. 

Rachel also shared a similar snap of the three of them laughing as she wrote: ‘The three of us pre wedding’. 

The family gathered  for Liam’s wedding over the weekend after the ice hockey star, 29, announced his engagement to project manager Nicole Artukovich last July, two months before they welcomed their first child together, a son called Louie

Penny has previously spoken about the friendship between her and Liam’s mother as she confessed any heartache between the threesome is now all water under the bridge.

Rod previously admitted that Rachel left him heartbroken when she called time on their nine-year marriage in 1999, some seven years before they divorced in 2006. 

However while there was some initial tension between the two women as the rocker eventually moved on, Penny told the Loose Women back in 2017 that her and Rachel are now very friendly. 

She explained: ‘Rachel and I, over the years, we’ve grown up and both have a lot more in common now. We sit and chat and we’ve got over that silly period 10, 15 years ago.

‘It’s about being adults… We’ve moved on, grown up, and from the beginning I knew I wasn’t dating just Rod; I was in a relationship with his family. I saw how all his children were getting on and I wanted my future children to do that as well.’   

Rod and Penny have been married since 2007 and share two children, Alastair, 18, and his younger brother Aiden, 13.

Speaking of Rachel and Penny’s relationship himself, Rod also told the Daily Express: ‘We get on great now and Penny gets on great with Rachel. In fact all the exes get on so I think I must have done something right.’

The rocker has eight children from five different mothers and has been married three times, including his marriages to Penny and Rachel. 

Spanning over almost 50 years, Rod’s oldest child, daughter Sarah is 59-years-old and his youngest Aiden is just 13. 

The star welcomed his eldest with his ex-girlfriend Susannah Boffey but the couple gave her up for adoption after he fathered her at age 18.

He then went on to have two children, daughter Kimberly, 44, and his son Sean, 43, with his ex-wife Alana Stewart.

The star fathered another daughter, Ruby, 36, with his former partner Kelly Emberg before marrying his second wife Rachel who gave birth to two more children, Renee, 31, and Liam, 29.

Rachel and Rod were married from 1990 until 2006. The couple met at a Los Angeles night-club the night before Sir Rod, then 45, was planning to propose to model Kelly, with whom he shares daughter Ruby. 

But Sir Rod was enamoured by Rachel, then 21, who had recently appeared in a high-profile Sports Illustrated fitness video. 

The couple had Renee and son Liam before going their separate ways.

Speaking to The Times, Renee, who recently qualified as a yoga teacher, revealed how her father’s brood of children – would get together for ‘amazing’ ‘tribe gatherings’ when she was younger.

But she said she would hide her famous father’s identity in school because she was determined to be her own person.

‘It’s just not cool to talk about your parents,’ she said. ‘When I was at school in LA, if people asked me what my dad did I’d say, “Oh he’s in entertainment”.
