Family Joy

The health scare follows happy family news, as Stewart recently welcomed his sixth grandchild. His daughter Ruby gave birth to a second son, Levi Rhodes Kalick, with her fiancé Jake Kalick. Ruby, 39, and Jake already share a three-year-old son named Otis.

Ruby announced the birth on Instagram, writing: "We welcomed our little (big) Levi Rhodes Kalick at 6:58pm on 8/4/26 at 9lbs 20inches.... His name Levi means My Heart and his arrival has grown our hearts to 10 times the size... Seeing Otis and Levi meet for the first time might have been the greatest experience of my life so far.. Otis is already the best big brother and we are already so in love with this sweet boy... Welcome sweet Levi!"
