Throughout the years, he has had eight children from five different relationships. The oldest is the daughter he fathered at 17 and put up for adoption. However, they later reunited unexpectedly.
Let’s take a closer look at Rod’s children.

In 2021, Kimberly unexpectedly ventured into entrepreneurship by launching her luxury organization company, The Realm by Kimberly Stewart. She explained that the idea came to her during quarantine. “I couldn’t stand looking at the chaos going on in my dad’s pantry and kitchen, so I got to work,” she revealed.
When she posted the results on the internet, she was flooded with requests for her services. “At that point, the idea came to life, and I realized that I needed to reorganize closets professionally,” she explained.

Before launching the unisex line, Sean turned to his longtime friend and Talentless designer, Scott Disick, for guidance. “I always call him and ask him for advice, and he always gives it to me. He’s very good at that kind of stuff,” Sean shared.
