Penny Lancaster is the “oldest woman” Sir Rod Stewart has ever slept with.
Penny Lancaster: ‘I’m the oldest person Rod’s ever slept with’
The 54-year-old TV presenter has been married to the 80-year-old rocker for 18 years, having met him when she was just 27 and Penny revealed she is now the oldest woman he has ever been with.
She told Woman and Home magazine: “I’m the oldest person Rod’s ever slept with – and that happened a long time ago.
“When I met him, the oldest woman he’d ever slept with would have been 30. Now he’s the oldest man that I’ve slept with too!”
The couple have sons Alastair, 19, and Aiden, 14, and Penny admitted starting a family was the one thing that made her doubt their relationship.
She said: “My biggest burning desire was to have a family. I respected that he had been through that enough times, and that might not be where he would want to go again. [I decided that] we would enjoy one another for as long as possible, but eventually I would have to bail.
“He always says to me, ‘I wish I’d seen it earlier. If we had started earlier, we could have more children,’ – because even after having Alastair and Aiden, we talked about adopting.”
Rod had his first child Sarah, 61, when he was just 17 and she was put up for adoption but they later reconnected.
He has daughter Kimberly, 47, and son Sean, 45, with his ex-wife Alana Stewart and daughter Ruby, 38, with his ex-girlfriend Kelly Emberg.
He also shares Renee, 33, and Liam, 30 with ex-wife Rachel Hunter.
