Rod Stewart’s Jude war

Rod Stewart is furious with Jude Law for breaking up with his daughter Kimberley

The actor and Kimberley enjoyed a short romance recently, but Rod is now said to be livid after pictures of the ‘Alfie’ star on a date with model Lily Cole emerged this week.

A source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “He loves Kimberley to bits and is very much the protective father.

“Obviously he wasn’t thrilled by the photos of Kim and Jude all over one another but he got over it pretty quickly. He likes Jude a lot and approved of him as a potential suitor for his little girl.

“Problem is, so did Kimberley. She thought something might develop between them.

“Now that Jude has been linked to Lily, Rod is upset on his daughter’s behalf. He’s spoken to Kimberley on the phone and told her what he thinks of Jude’s behaviour. The next time he sees Jude he’s likely to give him a piece of his mind.”

This is not the first time the ‘Maggie May’ singer has jumped to his daughter’s defence.

Two years ago, he took to the stage at the GQ awards to call Russell Brand a liar after he claimed to have slept with Kimberley.

Russell later sought out the rocker to apologise.
