Singer Lionel Richie, 64, is "Pop Pop" to his daughter Nicole Richie and her hubby Joel Madden's kids — Harlow, 6, and Sparrow, 4. "They always figure out their own name," Lionel told Access Hollywood of his grandkids. “I thought G-Pa might have been really the right thing but, no, no ‘Pop Pop,' is and, by the way, they melt me when they walk in the door."

Sally Field

Sally Field, 67, has four grandkids — Isabel, 15, Sophie, 12, Noah, 7, and Ogden, 2. Sally loves being a grandma, but admittedly wouldn't make the best "backup parent." "Luckily, my older sons don't have careers where they have to go out of town for three months — whew," she told MSN. "Because I don't know that I could be such a good back-up parent. But still, I'm the babysitter." And, Sally added, when she gets frantic last-minute babysitting requests from one of her sons, she tells them, "'I can do it, I swear I can do it! I've got my inflatable bed in the backseat! I'll be right over!'" Ha!

Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, both 57, are grandparents to their son Colin Hanks' daughter Olivia Jane Hanks, 3. "It’s better than television,” Tom has said of being a grandfather. "There’s nothing I’d rather be doing than having that little kid on my knee or in my arms, and I’m saying things like, ‘Who’s that little girl?’ or ‘Such a big yawn for such a little girl!'"

Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart, 68, has eight children! So it's no surprise he's a grandpa already. The legendary singer has one grandchild from daughter Kimberly Stewart (and Benicio del Toro) — two-year-old Delilah Genoveva Stewart del Toro. "I'm going to be a grandfather," he told People Magazine shortly before the big day arrived. "I've been waiting for that for so long — that and getting my bus pass — the two things I was looking forward to getting. My joy is indescribable." See more celebrities who have lots of kids!

Ron Howard

Director/producer Ron Howard, 59, has two grandchildren from famous daughter Bryce Dallas Howard — Theodore Norman Howard Gabel, 7, and Beatrice Jean Howard Gabel, 21 months. "I didn't remotely understand how profound the experience of being a grandparent is until you become one," he told Parade. "It's interesting, when you become a grandparent you start bumping into other folks who have had that experience. And there's this sort of wink and a nod like it's sort of a club or something." Hmm, love that. Of course, Ron is also a former child star. See more former child stars who are now parents!
