In a romantic getaway that will leave you swooning, rock legend Rod Stewart and his stunning wife Penny Lancaster celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary in style. The power couple revisited the magical locations where they sealed their love with a luxurious journey on the iconic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.

A Love Story for the Ages

The legendary singer, 80, and the model, 54, began dating in 1999 before becoming engaged in Paris in 2005 and marrying in the medieval monastery La Cervara in Portofino in 2007

Rod, 80, and Penny, 54, met in 1999 and began dating before becoming engaged in Paris in 2005. They tied the knot at La Cervara medieval monastery in Portofino in 2007. After their fairytale wedding, they spent their honeymoon on the luxurious Lady Ann Magee yacht moored in Portofino.

A Journey Through Time

To mark their anniversary, Rod and Penny embarked on a nostalgic adventure, retracing their steps from Paris to Portofino. Their Instagram-worthy escapade was documented by Penny, who shared a photo of herself and Rod standing proudly in front of the train. She looked absolutely breathtaking in a pink floral shirt and matching skirt, paired with stiletto heels.

Penny's Post

In her caption, Penny gushed: "Entering a bygone era @vsoetrain from Paris where we got engaged to Portofino where we got married 18 years ago, it's totally magical Sir Rod Stewart xxxx" Her post has left fans swooning over the couple's enduring love.

Rod's Family Affair

Ringing in their anniversary, the couple revisited the memorable locations with a journey on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express (pictured last month)

But that's not all, folks! Rod's family life is just as dramatic. The singer has eight children with five different women, including two sons, Alastair and Aidan, whom he shares with Penny. Rod also has Liam and Renee with his second wife, model Rachel Hunter, while Kimberly and Sean are from his first marriage to actress Alana Stewart.

Kimberly's Surprise Appearance

In a shocking turn of events, Rod's daughter Kimberly made a surprise appearance at the American Music Awards, where her famous father was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Kimberly announced in March that she's pregnant with her second child, which will be her famous father's fifth grandchild.

A Baby Boom

Kimberly already has a 13-year-old daughter, Delilah Genoveva Stewart, whom she shares with ex-flame Benicio del Toro. The model revealed she's expecting a baby boy, but kept the identity of the father under wraps.

Rod's Reaction

When Rod saw his family on stage at the ceremony, he was left "absolutely flabbergasted" and dropped an F-bomb that was edited out of the broadcast by CBS. According to The Scholarly Note.com's reporter at the ceremony, Rod said: "I'm so f*ing overwhelmed that you're here." However, the version that aired on CBS featured a clumsy cutaway to a bizarre shot of audience members holding up their phones.

The Gossipy Bit

We can't help but wonder who the father of Kimberly's baby is. Could it be her ex-flame Benicio del Toro or someone new? The world may never know, but one thing's for sure – Rod Stewart's family life is full of drama and excitement!

In conclusion, Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster's 18-year marriage celebration was a fairytale come true. Their love story is a testament to the power of true devotion and the magic of revisiting memories with the one you love.
