Sir Rod Stewart's family is mourning the heartbreaking loss of a beloved relative. Rod's daughter in law, Nicole Stewart, who is married to Rod's son Liam, revealed the tragic news that her older sister Christina has passed away at the age of 38.

Sharing her grief on social media, Nicole wrote: "My big sister gained her angel wings and I'm not sure how I'm meant to do life without her. She's been my absolute best friend my whole life. My protective big sis that always had my back. She made everyone feel seen, loved, safe. She was the glue that held us and so many together. Christina, I love you so much. You loved big. You nurtured. You protected. And family was absolutely everything to you."

In the emotional tribute, Nicole recalled Christina's presence in their lives, stating: "There wasn't a day she didn't check in with each and every one of us. Her daily FaceTime calls, 30 texts at once... I now can't imagine life without them.

"I love you Christina. Our Beans. I'm so thankful for you. I'm so proud of the mother you were and the boy you raised. We have Roko [Christina's son] now, thank you for giving us him. He shines your love", reports the Mirror.
