Sir Rod Stewart’s Colorfully Complex Love Life

Thoughts of Breaking Up

Kelly often considered breaking up with this man who she could not trust and who was constantly on the road, living the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle. “It is very hard being in love with someone and knowing they are wrong for you,” she said.

“I thought about breaking up with Rod for a year before I finally made the decision to do it. But once I turned 30 and had a good look at my life and situation, I realized Rod didn’t want to marry me.” Since then, the pair have made amends and are great friends.
