Billy Idol’s granddaughter shares his big personality.
The British rocker, 66, appeared on Audacy Check In where he talked about his life as a grandfather to daughter Bonnie Blue’s two daughters, Poppy Rebel, 2, and MaryJane Rebel, 7 months.
When talking about his older granddaughter, the “White Wedding” singer said she’s “very much a character in her own right.”
“It’s fantastic watching her character develop. She now has a sister as well, MaryJane, she’s 7 months. Now watching her personality kick in and everything, Poppy, she’s definitely got a bit of a chip off the old granddad block,” he joked, adding how great it’s been to learn about MaryJane in these recent months.
“It’s been a lot of fun, especially during this pandemic [and] watching them grow.”

Speaking with PEOPLE last August, Idol said that becoming a grandfather has changed him in ways he never expected.
“It opens you up emotionally,” he said. “Everything is a new experience for her. In a way, I’m reliving those experiences myself.”
Idol is a father of two. He shares Bonnie with ex Linda Mathis and shares son Willem Wolf, 34, with ex Perri Lister.
In 2021, Idol returned to the stage after a year off and the extra time in L.A. with Poppy, where he got the chance to teach his first grandchild to walk and talk.
