Rod Stewart Says Split from Ex Rachel Hunter ‘Tore Me to Shreds' While Reflecting on His Marriages
Rod Stewart was previously with Rachel Hunter from 1990 to 1999 He met his current wife, Penny Lancaster, shortly after his split from Hunter Stewart officially divorced Hunter in 2006 and married Lancaster in 2007Rod Stewart is reflecting on his past marriages, despite being happily married to his current wife, Penny Lancaster. In an interview with The Times, published on Friday, June 27, the music icon, 80, spoke about how he met Lancaster at a bar shortly after his 1999 split from his second wife, Rachel Hunter, whom he had wed in 1990. The musician was married to his first wife, Alana Stewart, from 1979 to 1984. "She came up and asked for my autograph, so I said, 'Do you like dancing?' She was an incredible dancer, gorgeous, 6ft 4in heels, ai-yi-yi," recalled Stewart of Lancaster. Although he admitted he was "very lucky" going "out of one marriage and into the next," Stewart said that his breakup from Hunter wasn't easy. "There were six months between Rachel and Penny because my bass player, who had Penny's number, wouldn't give it to me. He said, 'All you're going to do now is shag around.' And he was right: I had a splendid time in those six months," said Stewart. "Rachel left me because she was too young — my sister said I should never have married her in the first place — but it tore me to shreds," he continued. According to The Mirror, Rachel was just 21 and Rod was 45 when they exchanged their vows, a fact that ultimately played a significant role in their relationship. After Stewart and Hunter officially divorced in 2006, according to The Mirror, Stewart and Lancaster tied the knot in 2007. "Now I'm with Penny and she's got everything I could possibly want," Stewart told The Times. In fact, in a 2021 interview with PEOPLE, the musician said that Lancaster has ultimately "mended my heart in more ways than one." "It's a perfect relationship. I always tell the girls in my band and my daughters, 'A woman has so much living to do.' It's your life! Forget men," he said. Stewart added that intimacy has been crucial in their romance. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "I'm not talking about sex, but a kiss and a cuddle and a hold," he said. "Penny and I do that every morning. We hug each other — sometimes in bed, sometimes out of bed, all throughout the day. It's a wonderful relationship. Lucky geezer, aren't I?" Read the original article on People

Girl dads have a special kind of bond with their daughters, and Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian is the perfect example. He showers their girls Olympia, 7, and Adira, 22 months, with love. A heart-melting new photo prove they are Daddy's girls through and through, and we've never seen anything sweeter! 'London morning with my girls,' the Reddit co-founder shared on Instagram today. He added, 'Also stopped by the women's sports store pop-up—Up The Chels!' More from SheKnows Chrissy Teigen's Daughter Esti Had the Cutest Reaction to Lunchtime in a New Video & It's Such a Vibe In the first photo, Ohanian walks toward the London Eye, holding his daughters in his arms. Adira's hair is up in two space buns on top of her head, as she turns her head and rests on her dad's shoulder. Olympia hangs out on her dad's other shoulder, with one arm around his back and the other arm around her sister. She leans forward to rest on his shoulder in the cutest snap. He also shared photos from the pop-up shop, featuring a jersey by Lucy Bronze of the Chelsea Women Football Club, of which Ohanian is a minor investor. In the comments, people praised this outing, focused on father-daughter bonding time and supporting women's sports. 'You are the epitome of a well-rounded man. A devoted husband, an incredible father, and a driven, accomplished businessman. Your heart is as big as your ambition. We can see it!! Well Done!' one person commented. 'This is what a real man looks like – devoted father, not afraid of his wife's success, and pursuing causes and investments to make the world a better place,' someone else wrote. In May, Ohanian and Williams brought Olympia to a Chelsea game at Wembley, where they won the Treble. The tech founder told BBC, 'That is what we're trying to build here with Chelsea Women — not just to be the best team, but truly the best team in all of women's sports. This will be a billion dollar franchise one day and beyond, and I hope my dollars — or should I say my pounds! — can go towards that in a big way. This is going to be America's team.' He also shared that while his girls are active like their mom, they will be encouraged to do whatever they want when they grow up. 'Both those girls are active. Olympia's definitely been playing a lot of tennis and she plays golf too,' Ohanian gushed. 'I've definitely been trying to get her into soccer, but whatever she wants she'll be great. She's very excited to be a Blues fan.' A loving dad and a supportive man?

‘Israel is committing genocide' beamed on screen at Fontaines DC gig
'Free Palestine' and 'Israel is committing genocide' were beamed on the screen at Fontaines DC's sold-out London show. Grian Chatten, lead singer of the Irish post-punk band, struck a commanding presence on Saturday night as he walked along the gangway above the 45,000-person crowd. Wearing a kilt and a Sinead O'Connor t-shirt, he energised the audience, at times carrying the microphone by the pole or performing empty-handed. He rarely broke the music to speak, but dedicated one song to his 'little girl' and briefly echoed a chant of 'free Palestine' that was started by the audience. Grainy live recordings of the Finsbury Park performance and crowd played on large screens on either side of the stage. Both screens cut from the vintage-style footage to 'Free Palestine' written in the gothic font of the band's logo, as Chatten sang the I Love You lyrics: 'Selling genocide and half-cut pride, I understand. I had to be there from the start, I had to be the f****** man'. A piece of music equipment on the north London stage was wrapped in a Palestinian flag and onlookers also waved them in the crowd. Ecstatic fans of the five-person Brit award-winning band descended into mosh pits for several songs, including upbeat Here's the Thing. Their slower track Romance was preceded by a minutes-long montage of surreal clips, including a pig and a crying heart-shaped head in different snow globes. The last song finished and 'Israel is committing genocide. Use your voice' came up on the screens. Chatten closed the set with simply 'cheers London, thank you very much' and a wave. Prior to the performance, Chatten joined Kneecap, who were supporting, to perform their collaboration Better Way To Live. Wearing a silver jacket and glasses, he embraced and sang with the trio and shouted 'free Palestine'. Australian rock band Amyl and the Sniffers also warmed up for the band.
