Rachel Leaves Rod
For the first time in his relationship history, Rod was the one who was walked out on. Rachel left the rockstar in 1999, leaving him heartbroken. He couldn’t believe it. “I was a rock star. You don’t dump a rock star! It knocked me for six. It was a huge shock.”

In hindsight, the rockstar reflects that the age gap probably had something to do with it. She was 21 when they walked down the aisle and had her first child a year later. Rod’s sister, Mary, warned him she was too young, and in retrospect she was correct.
