Rod Stewart’s secret ceremony
Sir Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster have shared in a secret ceremony down under.
As busy as he was entertaining the masses, the British rocker, 78, found the time to renew his vows with his model wife, 52, for a second time.
According to Women’s Day, the vow renewal took place during their time in Sydney.
The lovebirds arrived in Australia in early March 2023 to kick off Stewart’s tour where he wowed the nation with a string of performances.
Stewart and Lancaster managed to sneak off to a special ceremony accompanied by their sons Alistair, 17, Aiden, 12 and their 18-year-old niece Raphaella.
Rod “spaced out his tour” so that their sons could attend the vow renewal, Woman’s Day claimed.
According to an insider the pair had plans to renew their vows for a while but held off until this year.
They celebrated the special day afterwards at dinner with Aussie TV presenter Richard Wilkins.
The insider, a friend close to the family, said, “There’s a very good reason why Rod’s insisted he space out his tour dates – it’s the perfect place and the perfect time to renew their wedding vows.
“Now they can’t wait and are using this chance to do something special while here.
“Penny and Rod love being in love.
“They think there’s something fun about celebrating their vows in different locations around the world, so why not do it all again in Sydney!”
Stewart and Lancaster first met after she offered to take photos of him during one of his tours in 1999.
The 52-year-old had recently made the switch from modelling to photography just a few years before meeting him.
The couple tied the knot eight years later at a beautiful ceremony in Portofino, Italy.
They continued the love-fest during their lavish honeymoon in a yacht at the same location.
The pair first renewed their vows on their 10th wedding anniversary in 2017.
They share two kids together, while Stewart shares his eldest child Sarah with his ex Susannah Boffey.
The singer also has a daughter Ruby with his ex-girlfriend Kelly Emberg and Renee and Liam were born while he was married to his ex-wife Rachel Hunter.
His daughter Kimberely and his son Sean were born during his marriage to ex-wife Alana Stewart.
