ROD STEWART has been on vacation in Croatia for a little over a week, and photographers caught him touring the beautiful towns of our country. He was first photographed in Dubrovnik, then on Hvar, and later on the Krka waterfalls. Yesterday, his yacht sailed into the port of Split, and Croat Nicole Artukovich was on board the yacht with Stewart's family.

She is a long-term girlfriend of his son, hockey player Liam Stewart, and although she lives in America, she is a proud Croat.

"God and Croats," reads the description on her Instagram page.

Nicole has many photos of Croatia on Instagram, and she once revealed that she used to spend her summers with her grandparents in Molunat in the south of Croatia.

Nicole's mother Tina, whose maiden name is Cvjetkovic, was also seen on board the yacht with the Stewart family. Nicole has five siblings, Lucy, Christina, Anthony, Andrea, and Amanda.

She is happy that her boyfriend also likes Croatia.

"Thank God he loves Croatia," she wrote in the description of a joint photo from Vis.
