Aiden was every inch his famous father's carbon copy thanks to his mop of sprawling honey blonde hair. The caption simply read: "Merry Christmas" in cursive red text.

The pair have previously spoken about the secret to their loving marriage, revealing to HELLO! that they still make date nights for one another. "We love life and make date nights for one another, among touring and family time," Rod said.
"We listen to each other and try to resolve all our disagreements, the dirty laundry as Penny says, right away, and before we go to bed."

The pair live in a sprawling mansion in Essex which they purchased back in 2013 but didn't move into until 2016 after years of renovation. The Grade II-listed mansion features ten bedrooms and an impressive model train set.
This summer, there were rumours that Rod and Penny were planning to leave their LA home. Rod was nonetheless quick to clarify the situation, issuing a statement in which he addressed their living situation and squashed talk of an alleged "rift" in their marriage.

He explained: "We moved permanently back to our beloved Britain a year ago but are fortunate to also have homes in different countries, which we love to visit.

Reflecting on his marriage, he explained that he and Penny remain deeply in love after "27 glorious years."
