Sir Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster embarked on a nostalgic journey this week, retracing the steps of their romance. To fans' delight, they visited the spot where they tied the knot in 2007.
The legendary musician, 80, and his model wife, 54, set off aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express – a lavish private train service.
Their destination was La Cervara in Portofino, the idyllic setting where they wed almost 20 years ago, yearning to relive those treasured moments.
Penny couldn't contain her excitement about the trip, referring to it as her "dream come true" in an endearing Instagram update.
Enamoured by the opulent voyage, she penned: "Entering a bygone era @vsoetrain from Paris where we got engaged to Portofino where we got married 18 years ago, it's totally magical Sir Rod Stewart."
Additionally, the loved-up pair shared adorable an snapshot of themselves at the train station, dressed in matching pink ensembles.
While Penny donned a dusky rose dress with a fruity pattern, Sir Rod pulled out all the stops with a bold fuchsia blazer.
The charming photo has been liked more than 30,000 times, attracting comments filled with warmth and good wishes.
One follower remarked: "Sounds fantastic retracing your first journey. Wishing you both the best time. You look beautiful in the outfit you have chosen and there is only one Sir Rod Stewart – always looking dynamic."
A second admirer commented: "Glad to see you're doing well. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary."
And a third fan cheered: "Have a wonderful time! Couple goals right there."
Inside Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster's enduring love story
Veteran rockstar Rod Stewart and his partner Penny Lancaster, a model, photographer, and TV personality, have been an item since 1999, first locking eyes at a swanky bash held in the Dorchester.
However, it was when Penny was commissioned to photograph him on tour that the couple's romance began to blossom.
They got engaged in 2005 and tied the knot two years later on June 16, 2007, amidst the picturesque backdrop of Portofino, Italy.
The duo has expanded their family with two children: Alastair Wallace Stewart (born in 2005) and Aiden Patrick Stewart (born in 2011).
As well as this, Rod is a father to six other children from past relationships, including those with his exes Alana and Rachel Hunter.

Rod Stewart says Britain should ‘give Farage a chance'
Sir Rod Stewart has called on Britain to 'give Nigel Farage a chance' as he revealed how close he came to pulling out of his Glastonbury appearance. The 80-year-old singer backed the Reform UK leader ahead of appearing in the festival's afternoon legends slot on Sunday, 23 years after he headlined the Pyramid Stage. Advertisement 'I've read about (Sir Keir) Starmer cutting off the fishing in Scotland and giving it back to the EU. That hasn't made him popular,' he told The Times. 'We're fed up with the Tories. We've got to give Farage a chance. He's coming across well. Nigel? What options have we got? Rod Stewart has called on Britain to give Reform UK leader Nigel Farage a chance (PA) 'Starmer's all about getting us out of Brexit and I don't know how he's going to do that. Still, the country will survive. It could be worse. We could be in the Gaza Strip.' Admitting his wealth ensures 'a lot of it doesn't really touch me', he insisted he is not out of touch and expressed his support for Ukraine – criticising US president Donald Trump and vice president JD Vance for their treatment of Ukrainian president Volodomyr Zelenskiy on his visit to the White House – and Gaza. Advertisement 'It's depressing, what's going on in the Gaza Strip,' he said. 'Netanyahu doesn't realise that this is what happened to his people under the Nazis: total annihilation. And Trump is going to turn the Gaza Strip into Miami?' Stewart said a prolonged bout of flu, which forced him to cancel five shows in the US, nearly forced him to withdraw from a Glastonbury appearance he described to ITV as his 'World Cup final'. 'This time last week I was thinking of cancelling,' he told The Sun, crediting his wife Penny Lancaster with nursing him back to health. 'I have had Influenza A. It's been so terrible. It's the worst thing anyone could possibly have, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Advertisement 'Apart from (Vladimir) Putin. I'd wish it on him.' Stewart told The Sun he had negotiated an extra quarter of an hour on top of the allotted 75 minutes for his set. He confirmed he will be joined at Glastonbury by former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood, Simply Red's Mick Hucknall and Lulu, as well as performing the song Powderfinger by Saturday headliner Neil Young.
