Stewart, 77, captioned the photo he shared to his Instagram story: “Family time.”
Stewart’s children in the photo included Kimberly, 43, and her daughter with Benicio Del Toro, Delilah, 11; Sean, 42; Ruby, 35, and her boyfriend Jake; Renee, 30; Stewart’s wife, Penny Lancaster, 51, and their two children, Alastair, 17, and Aiden, 11, according to People Magazine.

Missing from the photo are his eldest children, Sarah Streeter, 58, whom he and Boffey put up for adoption when they were teenagers, and Liam, 28, his son with Hunter.
Last year, Stewart told the magazine that he had to be “several different dads” to kids because they’re so different in age.
“You really have to treat them all as individuals with individual problems,” he said.

He added that as a father, he learned to “listen and not bust my top” when his kids were going through “a little bad period where they were drinking too much and getting into drugs.”
“All the [older] Kids were going through their little bad times drinking too much and dabbling in drugs – except for Liam; I don’t think he ever did – but they all came out the other side. As a father, I’ve learned to listen and not rack my brains,” he said.
