Rod Stewart’s Wife Reveals Surprising Reasons Behind Her Decision to Stay: A Divorce That Almost Happened

Penny Lancaster, Rod Stewart's wife, recently disclosed a surprising truth: their marriage almost ended after nearly 20 years. The 54-year-old former model expressed the emotional turmoil that led her to contemplate divorce. "Yes [I would have left him]. And that would have been very hard,” Lancaster revealed in an interview with the UK publication Saga. The couple faced challenges primarily due to Stewart’s hesitation to expand their family. Four years post-marriage, they welcomed their first child via IVF after difficulties conceiving naturally. Lancaster indicated that Stewart later regretted his earlier reluctance, wishing they could have had more children. While they even considered adoption, it ultimately did not materialize due to concerns over an age gap. Although Stewart has eight children from previous relationships, this journey with Lancaster has been marked by complexities. Their shared love has prevailed, and they renewed their vows in 2017, solidifying their bond amid trials.
