Alongside her was the 80-year-old rocker grinning from ear to ear.
“So proud to meet little Elsie, what an angel. Nicole, Liam and Louie have their baby girl joining them in their new home and how harmonious they are,” Lancaster wrote.
Stewart took to his own social media, sharing Lancaster’s photos with the caption: “Another Stewart joins the clan.”
In response to the posts, Nicole wrote: “Thank you for the visit and for spoiling our little ones with so much love today!”
Father again Liam is the daughter of New Zealander model Rachel Hunter, who was married to Maggie May hit-maker Stewart from 1990 to 2006.
Newborn Elsie’s name is a nod to rocker Stewart’s mother, who died in 1996 at 91 years of age.
The proud parents announced the birth their “sweet pea” baby earlier this month.
At the time, excited grandmother Hunter responded: “I can’t wait to meet you. Bursting with love.”
Lancaster also wrote: “So adorable, can’t wait to meet Louie’s little sister Elsie.”
The news comes as Stewart’s eldest daughter, Kimberley, announced she was pregnant.
The 45-year-old, daughter of the rock icon’s previous wife Alana Stewart, took to Instagram to share the news that she was expecting.
“Baby boy coming soon,” she captioned pics of her cradling her bump.
Stewart, 80, has three other grandchildren, including Kimberly’s 13-year-old Delilah; 21-month-old Otis, who was born to his daughter Ruby and her partner Jack Kalick and newborn Elsie’s older brother, Louie.
The heartwarming news of the new family arrivals comes at a time when Lancaster and Stewart are also dealing with a rather sad loss.
Earlier this month, Lancaster confirmed her pet dog Bubbles had died after being diagnosed with cancer weeks before.
Lancaster announced Bubbles’ death on Instagram, writing: “Our fur baby Bubbles. I still think you left too soon but I’m thankful for your time. Heaven’s lucky to have you and so was I.”
