In 2010, Stewart spoke about getting to know his eldest child on The Joy Behar Show. “She was put up for adoption when I was 17 or 18, I think,” he said of Sarah. “I was absolutely stone broke … and so she was put up for adoption.”

The rocker continued, “Since her mum and dad have died, we’ve tried to come together and be close together, and it’s working out pretty well. I never felt like I was her dad, because I didn’t take her to school, change her nappies, there was no paternal thing there, but I’m trying.”
Speaking to The Mirror in 2018, Sarah said: “Our relationship has evolved a lot in the last few years. It’s taken its time because he’s not just my dad, is he? He’s a big star. So, of course, that makes it difficult. But over the years it has become much more relaxed and now he’s just Dad to me.”
She added: “You can’t get away from the fact that he’s Rod Stewart, the star, but when we’re together I put that at the back of my mind.”
