BREAKING: Penny Lancaster, star of Loose Women, was moved to tears during a heartfelt revelation from her husband, legendary rocker Rod Stewart. In a touching segment of Anita Rani’s My Life At Christmas on the BBC, Rod disclosed that a close friend had intentionally withheld Penny’s contact information from him during a difficult period of emotional recovery following his painful separation from model Rachel Hunter.
This emotional moment unfolded as the couple reflected on their relationship, which has blossomed over the past 20 years and produced two sons. Rod, aged 80, shared that his friend Carmine Appice believed he was not ready for a new romance after his divorce. “He kept her telephone away from me,” Rod explained, adding humorously, “I should have fired him but I couldn’t!”
Penny, aged 54, became visibly emotional as she learned how Rod’s friend felt it was too soon for him to embark on a new relationship. “Carmine had kept that telephone number away from him,” she remarked, recalling how she thought her brief encounter with Rod at his concert would be their last. “I really thought that was the last I would see of Rod,” she said, reminiscing about processing photographs she took of him and thinking, “What a lovely memory.”
Their journey together took a significant turn when Rod eventually reached out to Penny, leading to a flourishing relationship. The couple welcomed their first son in 2005 and married in a lavish ceremony in 2011 before welcoming their second son.
Navigating a blended family has been a delicate process for Penny, who described her approach as “tiptoeing very lightly” around Rod’s other children from previous relationships. With kids ranging from 5 to 21 years old, she emphasized the importance of patience in building relationships. “I just wanted to take my time and it took a long time,” she admitted, fighting back tears as she expressed her joy in finally reaching a harmonious place with Rod’s children.
In closing, Rod proudly stated, “I must admit the kids adore her now; they look for her for advice.” This heartfelt exchange has resonated with viewers, showcasing the deep emotional connections within their family.
