Sir Rod Stewart’s Colorfully Complex Love Life

Despite his whirlwind romances, Rod opened up in a 2021 interview to say he never felt a true connection with most of his partners. He noted that he had “nothing to say” to the women he was involved with, and he found himself constantly longing for romance.

He said it was only when he met Penny that he truly found love. Amazingly, he met Penny just 5 days after Rachel filed for divorce, but he didn’t ask her out until 6 months later because he knew it would be too soon to start a new relationship.
