This is the child of the singer's 30-year-old son Liam, and his wife Nicole. Lancaster also added a photo with just her and Elsie, the baby grandaughter fast asleep in her arms. "So proud to meet little Elsie, what an angel," she wrote in the caption.
"Nicole, Liam and Louie have their baby girl joining them in their new home and how harmonious their are." Louie is Elsie's older brother at just 21 months old, pictured alongside Elsie and his parents in a photo Nicole shared.
"Elsie Skylar Stewart," the mother said in the Instagram caption. She then revealed that their "sweet little pea" was born on March 2. The singer's daughter-in-law included additional photos and videos, mainly those of Louie holding the newborn.
Liam is Stewart's second-oldest child, and in total he shares eight children with five mothers, according to People. He has four daughters and four sons, and on top of Elsie and Louie he has two other grandchildren.
His daughter Kimberly, 45, has Delilah, and 37-year-old Ruby has Otis. There are more grandchildren to come, as Kimberly announced on March 16 that she has a baby boy on the way.
Despite having so many children, People also reported how he handled it all. Stewart revealed that he had to "treat all of them as individuals with individual problems." He also said he's had to become "several different fathers" because of how different his kids' age groups are.
This hasn't been the only update on the rockstar's newest grandchild. One week ago, Nicole updated her followers on her first week postpartum. She shared how grateful she was to her mother and sisters "for all the meals prepped and brought over this past week."
Nicole also got candid about how difficult it can be after giving birth. "Postpartum can be soo hard," she wrote. "From the hormone plunges, the unimaginable breastfeeding pain, the pure exhaustion..so many highs and lows." She shared this message alongside more photos and videos of her, Elsie, and Louie
