It was a wedding worthy of the spotlight when Liam Stewart, the sixth child of rock legend Sir Rod Stewart, wed his longtime girlfriend, Nicole Artukovich, earlier this summer. After 13 years together, the couple chose the breathtaking city of Dubrovnik, Croatia, as the backdrop for their big day — a celebration that blended old-world charm, star power, and family love.
On May 31, Liam and Nicole exchanged vows at the historic St. Ignatius Church, known for its baroque beauty and memorable appearance in Game of Thrones as the Red Keep. The venue, steeped in tradition and grandeur, set the tone for a ceremony that will be remembered as both intimate and unforgettable.
A Family Affair
The event was truly a family celebration. Rod Stewart, glowing with pride, attended alongside his wife Penny Lancaster, while Liam’s six siblings and his mother, Rachel Hunter, looked on with joy. In one of the day’s most moving moments, Liam’s sister Ruby Stewart serenaded the newlyweds during their first dance, performing a heartfelt rendition of “Sweet Symphony” by Jay Oildakun. Her song added a deeply personal touch to an already emotional day.
But the festivities didn’t end there. As midnight struck and June 1 began, the family had another reason to celebrate — Liam’s sister Renée Stewart turned 32. The joyful overlap of occasions meant that one magical evening became two, blending a wedding and a birthday into one unforgettable family memory.
Rod Stewart himself later reflected on the day with heartfelt words shared online:
“I’m immensely proud to have witnessed the beautiful wedding ceremony of my son Liam to his bride Nicole. What a wonderful union of The Stewarts and The Artukovichs. May they continue to find joy, love, and laughter for as long as they may live, and may they produce many more babies to join their little one-year-old boy, Louie.”
The Celebrations Begin Early
Before their wedding, Liam and Nicole hosted a pre-wedding party at the seaside Hotel Excelsior in Dubrovnik. Family and close friends gathered by the Adriatic coast to enjoy music, laughter, and sunshine — the perfect way to set the stage for the magical day to come.
A New Chapter for Liam and Nicole
With their one-year-old son Louie already part of their love story, the newlyweds’ celebration wasn’t just about vows, but about family, legacy, and the next chapter of their lives together.
From the majestic streets of Dubrovnik to the heartfelt songs and family tributes, Liam Stewart and Nicole Artukovich’s wedding was more than a glamorous occasion — it was a love story sealed with history, music, and joy.
