Sir Rod Stewart’s Colorfully Complex Love Life

The Next Model

Rod had been having an affair with Kelly Emberg for several months before the break-up of his marriage. 15 years his junior, the Sports Illustrated model fell hopelessly in love with Rod, just as many women had before her. Sadly, though, she knew it wasn’t good for her.

Rod admitted that he treated Kelly terribly. The couple had one daughter, Ruby, and stayed together for 7 years – the longest of his relationships so far. However, he was not faithful and Kelly’s self-confidence and happiness eroded during their tumultuous relationship.
