Sir Rod Stewart’s Colorfully Complex Love Life

That Brings the Total To 8

After what appears to be a steady and drama-free courtship, the pair married in June 2007 in Italy. 2 years before, Penny gave birth to her and Rod’s first child Alistair, and in 2011 she gave birth to child number 8, Aiden.

So, what’s the secret to Rod and Penny’s successful marriage? Well, in an interview with People Magazine in 2021 Rod said that intimacy has been the key to his successful partnership with Penny. “I’m not talking about sex, but a kiss and a cuddle and a hold. Penny and I do that every morning,” he said. Rod Stewart had to hit his 70s to finally commit to a woman.
