'Extra Pounds Has Helped': Fans Amazed by Rod Stewart's Wife's Graceful Aging at Rare Outing with Their Son

Rod Stewart did not believe he would find love again until he met his wife, Penny Lancaster. The couple share two children and recently made a rare appearance with their 17-year-old son, Alastair.

British rock and pop singer Rod Stewart has had his fair share of failed relationships that almost made him give up on love. The singer dated several actresses and models and had two failed marriages. After the rollercoaster of emotions, he said his next step would be with a woman he did not like.

But his pessimistic outlook on love changed when he met supermodel Penny Lancaster. The two started dating in 1999, and after seven years, Rod Stewart proposed in front of the Eiffel Tower.

The "Baby Jane" singer credited Penny for helping him become a devoted husband and father. Now, he understood what it took to maintain a long and happy marriage. After 20 years together, Rod could not believe how strong his relationship with his wife was.

The couple tied the knot in 2007 and welcomed two children, Alastair and Aiden. But starting a family together was not easy; Penny suffered two miscarriages and had her second son, Aiden, through IVF.

However, before becoming parents, Penny and Rod made a deal to make time for their relationship outside their children consciously. The former model said when the boys were younger, she would try her best to dedicate time to her husband, whether having dinner or breakfast together.

Even when they had their children around, she would check on him. The two were aware of the changes that would come with having kids, so they agreed not to be apart for more than ten days.

Rod also said he was trying to keep his children humble but struggled to balance not spoiling them and "depriving" them. He said his wife was much better at finding common ground in the department.

The two have added value to each other's lives; Penny said she met Rod at the right time because she believed men matured later than women. While the singer did not even have words for her positive impact on his life, "She's everything," he gushed.

Penny also appreciates the small things that her husband does for her, like pulling out the chair for her, opening doors, and, most importantly, how much he respects her.

Rod Stewart Makes a Rare Appearance with His Family

Rod made a rare appearance with his wife and 17-year-old son, Alastair, at the 1901 Ballroom at the Andaz London. The 78-year-old rockstar showed up to the event in style, wearing a pair of white pants, a matching button-up shirt topped with a black blazer, and a statement belt.

His wife also kept the outfit classic with a long, flowy black dress paired with a cream blazer and black heels. Their teenage son copied his dad with his half-buttoned white shirt, checkered pants, and a black blazer.

The family looked good together, but fans were amazed at how good the 52-year-old looked. "Penny is naturally beautiful with great skin and hair. She looks good for 52, and most likely a few extra pounds has helped," remarked a commenter, adding that Rod was still "the best dressed."

Fans were also impressed that Penny had not gotten any work done on her face. "She's just happy with what she's got," added a netizen. People also praised the mother of two for working hard to keep the family together and involving her husband's exes in their lives.

"Penny looks lovely and is kind and loyal and puts his children first," added another commenter. Fans congratulated Rod Stewart for his beautiful wife and family, "How lucky Rod is!!" proclaimed another fan.
