Penny Lancaster Reveals Emotional Insight into Life with Rod Stewart
Penny Lancaster, 54, has opened up about her family life with her husband, Sir Rod Stewart, describing a touching moment from their early years together. She admitted that during their son’s infancy, his cries once made her think “he sounded like he was dying.”
Their Love Story
The couple first met in 1999, and their relationship flourished over the years. Rod proposed in 2005 during a romantic trip to Paris, and they married in 2007 at the medieval monastery La Cervara in Portofino, Italy. Earlier this year, Penny and Rod celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary.
Family Life
Rod Stewart, now 80, and Penny share two sons, Alastair and Aiden. After Alastair’s birth, Rod named one of his tours the Alastair Wallace Stewart Tour, arranging his travel around his son’s sleeping schedule. During that time, Penny would keep Alastair’s Moses basket beside their bed.
Motherhood Challenges
“Every afternoon at exactly 4pm he’d give a shrill scream that sounded as though he was dying,”
wrote Penny in her memoir Someone Like Me. She added that the only thing which soothed the baby was listening to Rod’s Great American Songbook collection. She believed the music comforted him because she had heard the same tunes being recorded while pregnant.
