The girls are Wood’s fifth and sixth children, but his first with Humphreys Wood, whom he wed in 2012 with rocker Rod Stewart as his best man.
Before the birth of his twins, Wood told Hello! magazine in April, “I’m unbelievably lucky and unbelievably blessed. I love all my kids. I love being a dad and to have this happening is just wonderful. I’m a lucky guy … I’m going to be changing the nappies and all that goes with it. I’m looking forward to all that.”
Wood is also the proud grandpa to ten grandchildren!
Stewart, who himself is an older dad, tweeted congratulations to the happy couple and their latest additions!
Congrats @ronniewood and @SallyWood. Your life starts all over again now, trust me, I speak from experience! x Rod
