Rod Stewart's Family Life with Penny Lancaster
Rod Stewart shares two children with Penny Lancaster, though initially he was hesitant to become a father again when they met in the 1990s. Penny, 54, recently reflected on their life together, describing moments from their family experience.
Marriage and Family
Penny Lancaster and Rod Stewart, now 80, celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary earlier this year. The couple met in 1999, with their relationship developing over time. Rod proposed in 2005 during a romantic trip to Paris, and they married in 2007 in a lavish ceremony at La Cervara monastery in Portofino, Italy. Together, they have two sons: Alastair and Aiden.
Parenting Challenges
After Alastair was born, Rod named his tour the Alastair Wallace Stewart Tour, scheduling flights around the baby’s naps. Penny recalled the difficulty of managing Alastair’s colic during the tour, keeping his Moses basket next to their bed.
“Every afternoon at exactly 4pm he’d give a shrill scream that sounded as though he was dying. In the end the only thing that would calm him was the sound of Rod’s Great American Songbook collection gently playing. I can only think that hearing it took Alastair back to the security of the womb, as I’d been in the studio to listen to Rod recording when I’d been pregnant.”
Insight from Penny's Book
Penny shared this memory in her book Someone Like Me, offering a glimpse into the emotional and personal moments experienced during their early years as parents.
