Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster: A Love Story on Fifth Avenue
ROD STEWART SPILLS THE TEA ON HIS EX-WIFE RACHEL HUNTER: "SHE LEFT ME BECAUSE SHE WAS TOO YOUNG!"
The 80-year-old rock legend Rod Stewart has been making headlines with his candid comments about his high-profile relationships. In a jaw-dropping revelation, he confessed that his split from ex-wife Rachel Hunter was due to her youthfulness. Yes, you read that right! The age gap between the pair, who have two children together, proved to be the deal-breaker in their nine-year marriage.
ROD'S AGE-OLD PROBLEM
The news comes as a shock to fans of the rockstar couple, who had always been known for their passionate and devoted relationship. Rod, 80, and Rachel, 55, were married from 1990 to 2006 and have two beautiful children together - daughter Renee, 33, and son Liam, 30. The age gap between them was a whopping 25 years, with Rachel being the younger partner.
In an interview with The Times, Rod opened up about the breakdown of their marriage, saying that Rachel's youthfulness was the main reason for their split. "Rachel left me because she was too young," he candidly revealed. His sister Mary had also raised concerns about the age gap, warning him that it might be a problem in the long run.
ROD'S SIX-MONTH WAIT FOR PENNY
But what's interesting is that Rod didn't waste any time after his split from Rachel. Just six months later, he met his current wife Penny Lancaster, 54, and it seems like she was the perfect antidote to his previous relationship woes. According to Rod, his friend, who had Penny's number, refused to give it to him until he had "s**gged around" for a bit.
When asked if he wanted to be single first before meeting Penny, Rod quipped, "F*ing right! There were six months between Rachel and Penny because my bass player wouldn't give me her number. He said, 'All you're going to do now is sg around', and he was right: I had a splendid time in those six months."
It seems like Rod's friend was spot on, as the rockstar admits that he had a "splendid time" during his single months before meeting Penny. And it looks like it paid off, because Rod has found happiness with Penny, describing her as having "everything" he wants.
A PERFECT MATCH?
Penny Lancaster is an English model and TV presenter who has been married to Rod Stewart for 18 years. The couple was spotted enjoying a stroll in New York City, hand-in-hand, looking every bit the happy couple. Penny looked effortlessly glamorous in a vest and denim shorts, pairing it with a blazer and sunglasses.
Rod, on the other hand, was rocking a vibrant printed shirt, cream jeans, and a Dolce & Gabbana belt. The two were spotted holding hands and laughing together as they strolled through Manhattan's busy Fifth Avenue.
