Sir Rod Stewart's son admitted to Malibu rehab facility for drug addiction months after marriage breakdown

Sean Stewart has admitted himself to rehab in another attempt to deal with his reoccurring addiction issues after his famous family staged an intervention. 

The party-loving offspring of Sir Rod Stewart, 44, is currently holed away at the $80,000-a-month Cliffside Malibu rehabilitation facility where his close friend Scott Disick once sought treatment for his own issues.

It comes months after Sean split from his wife Jody Weintraub and started dating Charlie Sheen’s ex, Julia Stambler.

‘Sean is in rehab for pill addiction,’ an insider told DailyMail.com. ‘He’s had a long history of drug addiction, and he decided to get help when he saw that he was falling off the deep end again. 

‘There was a family intervention because they were worried. They are all able to see when Sean is sober and when he is not.’

The insider said Rod Stewart is proud of his son for acknowledging that he needs help and checking himself in without being forced.

‘In the end, Sean voluntarily checked in to save himself,’ they said. ‘Rod is proud of him for getting help. He is expected to do a 90 day stay, which is the norm.’

Yoga, walks, equine therapy, acupuncture and group counselling are also offered.

Sean has spoken openly about his battles with addiction in the past, and once claimed being the eldest son of rock royalty was a ‘curse and a hindrance’.

Sean previously revealed he was ‘around 13’ and a student at Beverly Hills High School when he first started drinking. He later transitioned to harder drugs including ecstasy and heroin.

‘I would go to parties at that age and drink and smoke cannabis and cigarettes,’ he told the Mail back in 2012. ‘It was very easy for me to get drugs. 

‘I would just walk into a party and someone would hand them to me. I hardly ever paid for them.

‘First, I got really badly into Ecstasy. Then I started on the prescription pills like Vicodin, and then cocaine. And finally I got into heroin.’

By the time he was 19 he had a fully developed drug habit and an alcohol addiction, and as a result had his allowance cut off and was sent to Meadows, a famous treatment centre in Arizona.

He later overdosed, and in December 2001 was arrested and jailed for 90 days after he pleaded no contest to ᴀssault with a ᴅᴇᴀᴅly weapon on then 19-year old student, Jason Rogland, in the car park of a restaurant in Malibu.

He his since had multiple stints in rehab.

His latest comes months after the break down of his whirlwind marriage to Jody, the daughter of American film producer Jerry Weintraub.

In February 2023, Sean announced they had married in Sin City.

The couple, who met through a mutual pal, producer Courtenay Semel, wed on Valentine’s Day, with Sean proposing during a romantic meal at Catch, with the couple making things official just hours later.

They reportedly bought a house together in Los Angeles early last year, just months before reports surfaced claiming they had split.

Soon after he started dating Julia who was linked to Sheen of Two And A Half Men fame. She was hired as a nanny for his twin boys Max and Bob by his ex-wife Brooke Mueller who introduced the pair. They later started dating in 2017.

Sean and Julia were recently pictured on board a $150 million super yacht with the Stewart clan in celebration of Rod’s 80th.

The veteran rocker gathered his big, blended family for a 10-day bash in Barbados.

The chart-topper has eight children by five women.

His eldest is daughter Sarah Streeter, 61, who he had with his ex-girlfriend Susannah Boffey in November 1963. He went on to welcome Kimberly, 45, and Sean with his ex-wife Alana Stewart, and daughter Ruby, 37, with his ex-girlfriend Kelly Emberg. He then had Renee, 32, and Liam, 30, with his ex-wife Rachel Hunter. His youngest are sons Alastair, 19, and Aiden, 14, who he has with his current wife, Penny Lancaster. 

He is also a grandfather to Kimberly’s daughter, Delilah, Ruby’s son, Otis, and Liam’s son, Louie.
