Sir Rod Stewart has once again shown the softer side behind his rock ’n’ roll legend status, sharing a heartfelt tribute to his wife Penny Lancaster as the couple celebrated 19 years of marriage.
The 81-year-old music icon took to social media with a nostalgic throwback from their wedding day in 2007, writing warmly about his “stunning lady” and reflecting on what he described as nearly three decades of life shared together. His message, filled with affection and gratitude, quickly caught the attention of fans who have long admired their enduring relationship.
The anniversary post comes shortly after Penny herself joked that she “deserves a medal” for her long marriage to the Maggie May singer, before going on to reveal that the secret to their bond is surprisingly simple: effort, laughter, and never taking each other for granted.
She has previously spoken about their routine of date nights, shared school runs, and small romantic moments that keep their connection alive, from quiet coffees together to theatre trips and long walks. For Penny, keeping intimacy strong also means embracing time apart—something she believes has helped their relationship survive the pressures of fame and touring.

Rod and Penny’s love story stretches back to 1999, when they first met while Penny was a student and Rod was performing. After years of on-and-off contact, the pair eventually built a life together, welcoming two sons before marrying in 2007.
Their family now includes sons Alistair, 20, and Aiden, 14, while Rod is also a father to six children from previous relationships, forming one of the music world’s most well-known blended families.

Despite decades in the spotlight, Penny has often described Rod as more “sensitive and spiritual” than his public persona suggests, saying he is affectionate, demanding, and deeply emotional behind closed doors.
As they mark 19 years of marriage, their anniversary message reflects a relationship that has weathered fame, distance, and time—yet still appears grounded in humour, affection, and mutual admiration.
