Sir Rod Stewart’s Colorfully Complex Love Life

The Rockstar Life Was Calling

Blissfully unaware and detached from the anguish of his ex, Rod started to make his dreams a reality, playing shows all around London. That’s when he met model Jennie Rylance, and they started a relationship for two years, from 1965 to 1967.

It was during these years that Rod’s career truly began to take off. In 1964, he joined Long John Baldry and the All Stars before joining the Jeff Beck Group in 1967. There’s no doubt he was beginning to embark on one hell-of-a rock ’n’ roll journey.
