In a twist that no one saw coming, Sean Stewart, the son of rock legend Rod Stewart, is parting ways with his wife of just one year, TV producer Jody Weintraub. The news, first reported by the Daily Mail, has left fans and family members in disbelief as the couple has been quietly separated for several months and are now navigating the complexities of finalizing their divorce.
A Love Story Rekindled… and Quickly Doused
Sean Stewart and Jody Weintraub’s relationship was the stuff of fairy tales—or so it seemed. The duo, who reconnected after knowing each other since high school, decided to elope in a spontaneous and romantic Las Vegas ceremony in February 2023.
The whirlwind decision to marry came after Sean proposed to Jody during a cozy dinner at Catch Restaurant in Sin City. In a move fitting their spontaneous nature, they dashed to the Little Church of the West and exchanged vows in their regular attire. This spontaneous celebration of love was a second chance for both, reviving a connection that began in their youth.
However, the reality of blending their lives proved more challenging than anticipated. Jody, the daughter of the late Jerry Weintraub, known for producing hits like “Ocean’s Eleven,” brought a son from her previous marriage into the union. Their attempt to build a family together included buying a home in Los Angeles earlier this year—a hopeful step towards their future.
But the pressures of marriage soon took their toll. Despite their efforts, the couple decided to go their separate ways, and the Los Angeles house they purchased together will likely be put on the market as they finalize their split.
Sean’s Storied Past and Family Ties
Sean Stewart’s life has always been under the spotlight, thanks to his famous lineage. He is the son of Rod Stewart and Alana Collins, whom Rod married in 1979. Their five-year marriage also brought forth a daughter, Kimberly Stewart, now 43. Alana, a notable figure herself, was previously married to actor George Hamilton, adding more layers to the Stewart family’s intricate dynamics.
From Reality TV to Real-Life Transformation
In addition to his familial ties, Sean has had his own brushes with fame. He starred in the reality TV show “Sons of Hollywood,” which chronicled his life alongside his famous friends. This past year has been transformative for him in more ways than one. Over the last six months, Sean has embarked on a significant personal transformation, shedding an impressive 40 pounds.
In an exclusive with DailyMail.com, Sean revealed that his commitment to daily workouts is the secret behind his new look. He wakes up as early as 4 am to lift weights and goes for long walks, a regimen that has helped him feel better and get ready for the summer. “It’s not comfortable having weight on you, it feels awful, and slows you down. So I decided to finally do something about it,” he shared.
Sean’s fitness journey is also tied to his latest professional venture. He’s currently filming a pilot for a new TV show that will highlight his career as a designer for his fashion brand, Dirty Weekend.
Sean’s Famous Friends and Future Aspirations
Sean’s life continues to intertwine with other celebrity names. He is best friends with Scott Disick, known for his ties to the Kardashian clan. This connection only adds to the web of celebrity intrigue that surrounds him.
As Sean moves forward from his brief marriage with Jody, his focus remains on personal growth and his burgeoning career in fashion. The end of their marriage marks the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another for the man who has always lived under the shadow of fame but is carving out his own path.
The Next Steps for Sean and Jody
As Sean and Jody finalize their divorce, both seem poised to continue their individual journeys. Sean’s dedication to fitness and his new TV project signal a fresh start, while Jody will likely continue her successful career in television production.
For fans and followers of the Stewart family and Hollywood’s inner circles, this split is a reminder of the complexities behind the glamorous lives they see on screen.
