Rod's long-time partner Penny Lancaster revels in their age gap, joking, "I'm the oldest person he's ever slept with... Now I'm the oldest woman he's ever slept with too!"
Rod Stewart, the iconic British singer, has opened up about his personal life in a recent interview with The Times. The 77-year-old music legend discussed his relationships, regrets, and current happiness with his wife Penny Lancaster.
Stewart has a rich family history, with four children from his ex-wife Alana Stewart: Kimberly, 47, and Sean, 45. From his second marriage to Rachel Hunter, he has two more children, Renee, 33, and Liam, 30. With his current wife Penny Lancaster, he is the proud father of sons Alastair, 19, and Aiden, 14.
Stewart's relationship with Penny Lancaster began six months after his split from Rachel Hunter. The meeting was somewhat delayed due to Stewart's bass player withholding Lancaster's number. However, when they finally met, Stewart was immediately impressed by Lancaster's no-nonsense attitude, intelligence, and wealth.
Lancaster, who is 51 years his junior, revealed her desire to have a family with Stewart. The couple welcomed two sons, Alastair and Aiden, and Stewart has expressed regret about not starting a family with Lancaster earlier in their relationship.
Stewart's relationship with Rachel Hunter was also marked by its share of ups and downs. He recently shared that their split "tore him to shreds." In the same interview, he expressed admiration for Hunter, calling her a "goddess."
The singer's family life has not always been smooth sailing. Stewart has a daughter, Ruby, 38, with his ex-girlfriend Kelly Emberg, and a daughter, Sarah, 61, whom he put up for adoption when he was 17.
In a rare comment about his ex-wife Rachel Hunter, Stewart gushed over his current wife Penny Lancaster, stating that she has everything he wants. Lancaster recently posed for the cover of Woman and Home magazine's October issue, wearing a denim jumpsuit from the Los Angeles based brand, Current/Elliot.
Despite his past relationships and regrets, Stewart is happier than ever with Penny Lancaster. He expressed relief that Rachel Hunter already had money and fame, alleviating his suspicions about her intentions. Today, Stewart and Lancaster are a picture of contentment, enjoying their life together.
