Music icon Sir Rod Stewart was spotted at the Scottish League Cup Semi-Final on Saturday.
The rocker, 79, was with his youngest son Aiden, 13, supporting Celtic during their 6-0 win against Aberdeen sending them to the final in December.
On Sunday, Motherwell and Rangers will play each other to determine who Celtic will play in the final.
The pair were seen in the VIP box at Hamden Park in Glasgow.
The father-of-eight appeared to be blissfully happy and was seen fist-bumping fans as they celebrated the Celtic’s success.

Rod had his blond hair spiked up in his iconic style and donned a black and white floral flamboyant blazer over the top of a white shirt, which was open at the collar.
Aiden looked very dapper with a white shirt and a smart black blazer.
Rod shares eight children with five mothers, his youngest being Aiden and Alistair, 18, with his wife Penny Lancaster.
Earlier this year the former Loose Women star, Penny, 53, and Rod published a statement to shut down marriage rift rumours.
In August, Rod took to Instagram and said: ‘There is absolutely no rift between Penny and I and no disagreement over where we should reside, in fact it’s the opposite.
‘We moved permanently back to our beloved Britain a year ago but are fortunate to also have homes in different countries, which we love to visit.
‘Originally we did think it made sense to sell our house in LA, but having spent a wonderful time there this summer with family and friends during my Vegas residency we realised that it makes sense to keep our house there.’
The couple have been together for 25 years and tied the knot in 2007.

Previously Rod – who is notorious for his penny-pinching ways – said that he would only sell his LA home for the ‘right price’, but his reluctance to part with the property seems to go beyond money.
As he approaches his 80th birthday, the singer is truly embracing California lifestyle, where he ‘flies back and forth to Vegas for his gigs, gets to spend quality time with his grandchildren and hosts a banquet dinner almost every Sunday night for a crowd of his best friends’, an insider has told dailymail.com.
Their lavish US property is more of a guilded cage for Penny, who considers the British countryside ‘home’ – not to mention having her own career in the UK. She’s a regular on the panel show Loose Women, works as a special constable for the City of London Police and delights in keeping chickens at the couple’s Essex mansion.
Rod revealed plans to return permanently to the UK in June 2023 when he listed his 33,000-square-foot Beverly Hills abode – which also includes a three-story guesthouse, swimming pool and a sizable soccer pitch for $70 million.
He then cranked up the asking price to $80 million in December, before slashing it by $6 million in February to leave a $74 million price tag.

Sir Rod Stewart, 79, and son Aiden, 13, support Celtic at the Scottish League Cup Semi-Final during their 6-0 victory against Aberdeen
On top of building a successful lifestyle empire over the past few decades, Martha Stewart is a mom! The bestselling author shares her daughter, Alexis Stewart, with her ex-husband, Andrew Stewart.
When Was Alexis Stewart Born?
Martha and Andrew were married from 1961 to 1990. They welcomed their only child together, Alexis, in 1965.

Who Is Martha Stewart’s Only Daughter, Alexis Stewart?
Much like her mom, Alexis has built quite an impressive resume with her work on TV and on the radio. She cohosted a radio show called Whatever With Alexis and Jennifer from 2005 to 2010. The entrepreneur has also made appearances on the Hallmark Channel as well as in the shows Martha and The Apprentice: Martha Stewart.
In 2011, Alexis released the book Whateverland: Learning to Live Here, featuring an anecdote from her mother.
“She’s her own person,” Martha wrote in the book of her daughter. “She makes up her own mind. I sometimes try to offer advice, but if it’s not taken, so be it. She really did pay attention. She really does know how to do everything. And still, she chooses not to follow in my footsteps.”
Is Alexis Stewart Married?
The New York native was married to lawyer John Cuti from 1997 to 2004. They did not welcome any children together during their marriage.
Does Alexis Stewart Have Children?
Alexis became a mom years after her marriage ended. She has two children, making Martha a doting grandmother. The radio host welcomed her first child, daughter Jude, via gestational surrogate in 2011. One year later, Alexis welcomed her second kiddo, son Truman, via gestational surrogate.
“Now, I am a grandma twice!” Martha gushed on Twitter after Truman’s arrival. “Nothing better.”
Watching her grandkids grow up has been delightful for the Martha Cooks host.
“She is the perfect mother,” Martha told Al Roker of Alexis’ parenting style during an October 2018 Today appearance. “Those kids are so smart, so lovely, so advanced, so healthy, you know. She doesn’t need any advice from me.”
She shared a rare photo of Jude on her Instagram account in March 2023. In the caption of the post, Martha revealed that her granddaughter had a spa-themed 12th birthday party with all of her best friends in attendance.
“They had fun,” the grandmother of two told her followers, also revealing that the girls “didn’t sleep a wink” because they were having a blast trying out new beauty and skincare products.
Alexis’ Relationship With Mom Martha Stewart
Netflix released the documentary titled Martha in 2024. In the film, Martha opened up about emotional details about her past, including her struggle with being a parent.
“Back then everybody was having babies so young. That was sort of like the style and the habit. I thought it was a natural thing and it turns out, it’s not at all natural to be a mother,” Martha said in the documentary.
Alexis, for her part, deemed her household as “very uncomfortable,” which taught her to “suppress most” of her emotions.
As far as Martha Stewart is concerned, the new documentary about her life and career is not a good thing.
The lifestyle guru and self-made former billionaire has slammed the film “Martha,” which started streaming Oct. 30 on Netflix, as “lazy” and “not the story that makes me, me” at the Retail CEO Influencer Forum in September. “It’s more about my stupid trial, which was so unfair.”
And this week, Stewart doubled down in an interview with the Times, insisting that director RJ Cutler focuses too much on her 2004 insider trading trial in the movie’s second half.
“The trial and the actual incarceration was less than two years out of an 83-year life,” she said. “I considered it a vacation, to tell you the truth.”
Indeed, those two years — from her troublesome phone call to her stockbroker as she was en route to Cabo San Lucas all the way to her final day in Alderson prison in West Virginia — take up nearly half of the two-hour doc.

Bitter Stewart is irate when she mentions the courtroom drama in the movie, which she participated in, saying the responsible parties, including eventual FBI director James Comey, deserve to be thrown into a blender.
“It was so horrifying to me that I had to go through that to be a trophy for these idiots in the US Attorney’s office,” she says of the high-profile trial.
“Those prosecutors should have been put in a Cuisinart and turned on high. I was a trophy — a prominent woman, the first billionaire woman in America. ‘We got her.’”
When she begins serving her five-month prison sentence in 2004, actors read aloud her diary entries that criticize the food and staff.
Stewart says the government lawyers who went after her in 2004 ” should have been put in a Cuisinart.” AP
“Physical exam,” she says on an entry from her first day. “Stripped of all clothes. Squat, arms out, cough. Embarrassing.”
Then she rails about the limited cafeteria fare available behind bars.
“What worries me is the very poor quality of the food,” Stewart wrote from the clink. “And the unavailability of fresh anything, as there are many starches and many carbs and many fat foods. No pure anything.”
In her first week in the joint — which forced her to hand over her contact lenses — she claims to have received a one-day stay in solitary confinement for accidentally touching a guard. (The Federal Bureau of Prisons disputes this.)

“Today I saw two very well dressed ladies walking, and I breezed by them, remarking on the beautiful morning and how nice they looked — when I realized from the big silver keychain that they were guards. I lightly brushed the chain,” Stewart wrote.
“Later, I was called in to be told never, ever to touch a guard without expecting severe reprimand. Of course, I apologized but the incident was so minor when it occurred that I did not think about it for the rest of the day.”
The “Martha Stewart Living” founder says she was severely punished for the faux pas.
“I was dragged into solitary for touching an officer,” she recalls. “No food or water for a day. This was Camp Cupcake remember? That was the nickname. It was not a cupcake.”

And her relationships suffered. While locked up, boyfriend Charles Simonyi, the wealthy creator of Microsoft Office, only visited her one time, the film reveals.
“I don’t think he liked hanging out with somebody in jail,” she said. “He was out on his boat, floating around the world.”
And soon after Stewart became a free woman, he unceremoniously dumped her — under the covers.
“We were in bed and he said, ‘You know, Martha, I’m going to get married.’ He said, ‘I’m going to get married to Lisa.’ And I said, ‘Lisa who?!’” Stewart remembers.
“I mean he hasn’t told me a word. ‘And, by the way her parents don’t want me to ever speak to you again.’”
“I thought that was the most horrible thing a person could do. How could a man who’s spent 15 years with me just do that? What a stupid thing to do to someone you actually cared about.”
Stewart also goes into messy detail about her and her ex-husband Andrew Stewart’s extramarital affairs, and the resulting implosion of their marriage years before.
When Martha was 19, she kissed a stranger on her honeymoon to Italy. Courtesy of Netflix
She first stepped out on Andrew — innocently, she says — when they were on their honeymoon in Italy and she was just 19 years old.
One day, Martha visited the Duomo in Milan alone while Andrew stayed back at the hotel, and there in the church she communed with a random gent.
“It was very romantic place, crowded with tourists, and [I] met this very handsome guy,” she said.
“He didn’t know I was married. I was this waif of a girl hanging out in the cathedral on Easter eve. He was emotional, I was emotional. It’s just because it was an emotional place. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced.”
She added: “It was like nothing I’d ever done before, so why not kiss a stranger?”
Martha maintains the secret smooch “was neither naughty nor unfaithful, it was just emotional. Of the moment. That’s how I looked at it.”
Martha Stewart and her ex-husband Andrew Stewart both engaged in extramarital affairs. Netflix
That wasn’t the only indiscretion, though. She also owns up to cheating again later on in the marriage.
“I had a very brief affair with a very attractive Irishman, and it was just nothing,” she says. “It was nothing. In terms of … I would have never broken up a marriage for it. It was nothing.”
Andrew, meanwhile, allegedly messed around on Martha constantly.
“He was not satisfied at home,” she said. “I don’t know how many different girlfriends he had during this time, but I think there were quite a few. Young women, listen to my advice: If you’re married and you think you’re happily married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he’s a piece of s – – t. And look at him as a piece of s – – t and get out of that marriage. But I couldn’t do that. I couldn’t walk away.”
Eventually, Martha says, her hubby began sleeping with a female employee, assistant Robyn Fairclough, who lived on their Connecticut property.
“Robyn worked for me, and she had lost her apartment or something. And I said, ‘You could move into the barn on the lower two acres.’ We had a little apartment down there. And when I was traveling Andy started up with her,” she said.
“It was like I put out a snack for Andy.”
Martha says Andrew slept with one of her employees. Netflix
“I kicked her out immediately. ‘What the hell are you doing?!’ Andy betrayed me right on our property. Not nice.”
A friend admitted that Stewart was so distraught during this turbulent period that “at one point she showed me where she tore the hair out of her own head.”
Even as she achieved fame and boffo professional success, Martha wrote increasingly intense letters to her estranged husband who asked for a divorce.
The notes are rawly emotional, with messages such as:
“I cannot sleep. I cannot eat. My skin is worried and many lines that were not there are now there. I am agonizingly jealous of your other women.”
“Maybe you are planning to marry her and keep her with my money so that she can paint herself in portraits in the nude. It is very titillating isn’t it? Maybe she will paint you in the nude also. I’d love to see that painting.”
Even as she was becoming famous and her career was skyrocketing, she was tortured by the crumbling of her marriage. Courtesy of Netflix
“I have to go to San Francisco and talk about weddings and my wonderful life. I hope you’re enjoying your freedom. And I hope my plane crashes.”
She hasn’t spoken to Andrew, with whom she shares 59-year-old daughter Alexis, in 20 years.
Clearly, “Martha” is a revealing portrait — sometimes painfully revealing — of an American icon that features a trove of eye-popping information.
But its subject doesn’t see it that way.
“RJ had total access, and he really used very little,” Stewart told the Times. “It was just shocking.”
“I am really proud of this film, and I admire Martha’s courage in entrusting me to make it,” Cutler said in a statement. “I’m not surprised that it’s hard for her to see aspects of it.”

Martha Stewart claimed that former pal Ina Garten stopped speaking with her after she went to prison, in a new interview.
The homemaking expert, 83, appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Sunday, where she discussed rumors surrounding her friendship with the renowned American celebrity chef, 76.
While both culinary legends agree that their friendship soured in the early 2000s, they differ on the reasons for their falling out.
Garten previously claimed that they simply lost touch when Stewart — who attended the premiere of her Netflix documentary Martha on Monday — moved away.
However, Stewart told Cohen her friend stopped speaking with her after she was sentenced to prison in 2004.

Cohen asked Stewart — who was joined by Snoop Dogg during the show — if she read Garten’s new memoir, Be Ready When the Luck Happens.
‘I’ve read parts of it,’ she replied.
After he inquired if she had ‘read the parts about yourself’ she said ‘Oh yes.’
‘What was your take?’ Andy asked.
‘She can write whatever she wants,’ Martha replied.
After a confused Snoop asked about what Ina had written, Andy explained: ‘Ina said that they fell out because she moved to Connecticut.’
‘That’s not true,’ Stewart countered.
Meanwhile Snoop added, ‘Martha don’t fall out with people.’
Stewart then claimed that two stopped speaking ‘after I went to jail.’
‘Yeah, because see that’s when I stepped in,’ Snoop humorously added.

Stewart previously addressed their falling out in a New Yorker profile of Garten, saying, ‘When I was sent off to Alderson Prison, she stopped talking to me. I found that extremely distressing and extremely unfriendly.’
Later, her publicist told the magazine that she was ‘not bitter at all and there’s no feud.’
Meanwhile Garten ‘firmly’ denied that Martha’s prison sentence had anything to do with their rift.
Stewart and Garten met in the 1990s while living in the Hamptons.
Garten contributed a column to Martha Stewart Living, while Stewart played a key role in securing Garten’s first book deal by taking a publisher to Garten’s specialty food store, The Barefoot Contessa.

The upcoming documentary follows the lifestyle icon all the way from her teens, when she worked as a model, to her becoming the first self-made, female billionaire in the United States, as per the Netflix press release.
The film also ‘illuminates Stewart’s upbringing in a working-class family, compels us to reconsider the scandal that sent her to prison.’
‘I was a trophy for these idiots. I was dragged into solitary, no food or water. Those prosecutors should have been put in a Cuisinart and turned on high,’ Martha says in the trailer.

The upcoming documentary follows the lifestyle icon all the way from her teens, when she worked as a model, to her becoming the first self-made, female billionaire in the United States, as per the Netflix press release.
The film also ‘illuminates Stewart’s upbringing in a working-class family, compels us to reconsider the scandal that sent her to prison.’
‘I was a trophy for these idiots. I was dragged into solitary, no food or water. Those prosecutors should have been put in a Cuisinart and turned on high,’ Martha says in the trailer.
The documentary is set to drop on Netflix on October 30.
Lifestyle guru Martha Stewart has claimed former friend and cookbook author Ina Garten stopped talking to her after she was jailed in 2004 for insider trading.
Stewart, whose Martha Stewart Living conglomerate was once valued at $US1 billlion (approx $1.5 billion), made the claim during an appearance this week on Watch What Happens Live (WWHL) with Andy Cohen.

Garten, 76, found fame relatively later in life on the release of The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook.
Stewart has been widely credited with helping her then-friend get a publishing deal for the book, which shared the name of a specialty food store in The Hamptons.
Stewart lived in the upmarket area and would often visit the store.
Later, she reportedly offered Garten a job writing a column for Martha Stewart Living and even took a book publisher to visit Garten’s store prior to the book’s release in 1999.

After appearing on the Martha Stewart Living TV show, she went on to have her own show, Barefoot Contessa, which led to more books and businesses.
Meanwhile, Stewart, whose TV show Martha Stewart Living first aired in 1993, was jailed in 2004 for insider trading.
She has since alleged her five-month stint in federal prison marked the end of her friendship with Garten, something she reiterated this week.

During WWHL, Cohen asked Stewart if she had read Garten’s memoir, Be Ready When the Luck Happens.
“I’ve read parts of it,” she said, adding “Oh yes,” when asked by Cohen if she had read the parts about her.
When fellow guest Snoop Dog asked what Garten had written about her, Cohen replied, “Ina said that they fell out because she moved to Connecticut,” causing Stewart to chime in, “That’s not true.”

Snoop then agreed, saying “Martha don’t fall out with people.”
Stewart then said they stopped talking “after I went to jail.”
Garten previously said the two struck up a friendship “in front of the cheese case” at her store before she began catering events at Stewart’s home.
“We became friends after that,” Garten said.

Garten told The New Yorker in September that the two lost touch when Stewart moved from The Hamptons to Connecticut.
However, Stewart refuted this, telling the publication, “When I was sent off to Alderson Prison, she stopped talking to me. I found that extremely distressing and extremely unfriendly.”

What Happened Between Martha And Netflix?
Reportedly, Martha Stewart is not happy with the documentary and made the decision to make her opinion on it known. Even though Netflix flew Stewart out on a private jet to the 2024 Telluride Film Festival, Stewart still has her complaints.
In addition to a source revealing how angry Netflix is, they toldPage Six, “Martha was seen arriving to – and departing – the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado via private jet courtesy of Netflix.”
It seemed that the showing of the documentary was what set Stewart off. She called it “lazy” and that it wasn’t “the story that makes me, me.” She shared this at the 2024 Retain Influencer CEO Forum.

Were Martha’s Requests Denied?
On September 10th, Stewart allegedly told Daily Beast‘s Joanna Coles that when asking the director of her documentary to make the changes to reflect what she wanted, he “refused.”
Additionally, she reportedly revealed to Coles, “I try not to talk publicly about the things I don’t like, [as] its not good business.” Despite her saying this, she added, “I can talk a little bit badly about that.”
Also, she shared with Coles that the documentary seems to be “more about my stupid trial, which was so unfair.” Furthermore she “had a collaboration contract.”
Despite this, in regards to the trial and sentencing, the creator “wouldn’t change anything.” This also included the approach of the former Manhattan U.S. Attorney and FBI Director, James Comey.

In 2004 West Virginia, the TV personality was required to go to a minimum-security federal prison. Her lock-up was due to the lies she told detectives when they were investigating stock sales for the ImClone company.
Stewart may get to do another documentary as she reportedly told Coles that “Netflix has already asked me if I’d do another one.”
Martha Stewart’s Netflix documentary, Martha, will be released on October 30th. Then, fans will be able to see everything she did not like and wanted to be removed.
What do you think about the Martha Stewart and Netflix disagreement? Let us know in the comments below.
Martha Stewart and Ina Garten have a difference of opinion when it comes to why their friendship fizzled out.
In a recent profile for The New Yorker, Garten explained how she and Stewart fell out of touch when the lifestyle guru started spending more time at her Bedford, New York, estate.
But home and garden maven Stewart remembers things a bit differently.
“When I was sent off to Alderson Prison, she stopped talking to me,” the “Entertaining” author told the publication. “I found that extremely distressing and extremely unfriendly.”
While Stewart has maintained her innocence over the years, the media mogul was found guilty for her part in an insider trading scheme in 2004 and ended up serving five months in a minimum security facility.

In the New Yorker piece, Garten “firmly” denied her fellow cookbook queen’s memory of how their friendship faded, however.
In any case, Stewart’s longtime publicist, Susan Magrino, said that her client was “not bitter at all” about the relationship.
“There’s no feud,” Magrino told The New Yorker.
Though the pair are no longer close, Garten and Stewart do go way back.
It was the host of “Martha Stewart Living” who first connected Food Network favorite Garten with the editor who would help her publish her first cookbook, “The Barefoot Contessa.”
Stewart even contributed the forward to Garten’s debut, though the intro comes off as a bit underhanded in hindsight.
