The family gathering comes after Stewart spoke about ahealth scare with his son Aiden, who was rushed to the hospital after “going blue and unconscious” while playing for his Young Hoops Under-12s team, the father of eight told soccer website FourFourTwo.
“We thought my boy had a heart attack,” Stewart said. “He was going blue and was unconscious until he calmed down. It was scary, but it turned out to be a panic attack.”
Stewart did not share when the incident occurred.
In 2021, the “One More Time” artist chatted with PEOPLE about how he’s learned to adapt his method of parenting to fit each child.
“I have to be several different fathers because of the different age groups of my kids,” explained Stewart. “You really have to treat all of them as individuals with individual problems.”
The singer shared, “For instance, my 15-year-old is dating girls, so I had to give him a sex lesson. I just told him what he should and shouldn’t do, but he’s on top of it. He was like, ‘Dad, I’ve got the Internet. I know everything.'”
Stewart added, “All the [older] kids went through their little bad period of drinking too much and dabbling in drugs — except for Liam; I don’t think he ever did — but they all came out on the other side. As a dad, I’ve learned to listen and not blow my top.”
