During the holidays, Stewart shared a rare family photo that included six of his eight children. Stewart, 77, captioned the photo shared on his Instagram story: "family time."
In 2021, Stewart told People Magazine that he has to be "several different fathers" to children because they vary in age so widely.

"You really have to treat all of them as individuals with individual problems," he said.

He added that as he’s grown as a father he’s learned to "listen and not blow my top" when his kids went through rough patches.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"All the [older] kids went through their little bad period of drinking too much and dabbling in drugs — except for Liam; I don't think he ever did — but they all came out on the other side. As a dad, I've learned to listen and not blow my top," he said.
