Rod & Penny: Love, Wine, and 'Sorry' Lessons
15 Feb
Summary
- Rod and Penny follow a strict no-argument rule before bed.
- They also avoid arguments after having wine.
- Stewart teaches sons that 'real men can say sorry'.
Sir Rod Stewart, 81, and his wife Penny Lancaster, 54, have maintained a strong relationship for nearly three decades. The couple, who share a 26-year age gap, married in 2007 and have two sons, Alastair and Aiden. They will celebrate their 19th wedding anniversary in June 2026.
Their relationship success is attributed to a strict rule: no arguments before bedtime or after consuming wine. Rod Stewart has also focused on teaching their sons the importance of apologizing, stating that "real men can say sorry." This approach has fostered greater openness within the family, with Penny noting their sons find Rod easier to talk to now.
Penny Lancaster highlighted the value of honesty and continuous effort in their relationship. The couple, who began dating in 1999, emphasizes making time for each other through 'date nights,' 'date coffees,' and 'date dog walks,' intentionally leaving phones behind to connect. They believe in resolving disagreements promptly and always striving to be their best selves for one another.
