Rod Stewart's wild love life over the years including three wives and eight kids with five women
Rod Stewart had his fair share of romantic relationships over the years before he met his wife Penny Lancaster. Rod Stewart is known to have had his fair share of fun and relationships over the years with three marriages under his belt and eight-children across five different women. The Maggie May hitmaker, who is set to play the coveted Legends Slot at Glastonbury this weekend, once led a very different life in terms of his romantic relationships. From teenage sweethearts and supermodels to secret affairs and three high-profile marriages, it's safe to say Rod's dating history is far from regular. However, Rod is no longer chasing the ladies and is happily married to his third wife Penny Lancaster, who he shares two sons Alistair and Aiden with. The pair recently celebrated their 18 year wedding anniversary with a romantic trip on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express to revisit their engagement, wedding and honeymoon spots. But before Penny came along in 1999, there were many love affairs, two marriages, three proposals and already six children before her. Despite having eight kids across multiple different women, Sir Rod is a family man and is believed to have strong relationships with all of his children, whose ages range from 61-years-old to 14-years-old. Rod's eldest child, Sarah Streeter, was put up for adoption in 1963 after the singer's then-girlfriend Susannah Boffey had her at 17-years-old and was forced to give up her baby by her father. Sarah reconnected with her famous father in 2013 after decades apart. Here we take a closer look at some of Rod's lovers over the years..

Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster 'held responsible' for spoiling radio host's proposal plans
Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster's wedding anniversary celebrations this weekend brought up an awkward memory for a Heart Radio presenter as he explained the famous pair spoiled his proposal plans. Sir Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster have been accused of spoiling a Heart Radio presenter's proposal plans. To mark their 18th wedding anniversary this week, the pair boarded the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express to revisit their engagement, wedding and honeymoon spots. Six years into dating in 2005, the Maggie May hitmaker got down on one knee at the top of the Eiffel Tower. They tied the knot in a small town just outside of Portofino, Italy two years later. Their 2007 wedding was followed by a honeymoon off the coast, which included celebrations on a yacht. Discussing the couple's anniversary on Heart Radio's Breakfast Show on Friday, Jamie Theakston hilariously accused Rod of ruining his own proposal plan. Around the same time that the singer asked Penny for her hand in marriage, the presenter recalled being on a train to Paris with his then girlfriend Sophie, who he was about to pop the question to. Jamie explained his plan had been to propose to his now wife on the Eiffel Tower, until he discovered her true feelings about that idea, Glasgow Live reports. Speaking to his co-stars Amanda Holden and Ashley Roberts, he said: "I thought the Eiffel Tower might be romantic, at the Eiffel Tower, on one knee, pop the question, job done. "It was a beautiful weekend, the sun was shining, we'd been to Paris a couple of times before, so it was a special place." Jamie recalled how "nervous" he was about getting the ring he had secretly packed through customs without Sophie seeing it, which was thankfully a success. However, his next problem came when he had to rethink his proposal plan. He explained: "Anyway, she's reading a copy of Hello! Magazine, she goes, 'OMG. Do you know Rod Stewart has just got engaged to Penny Lancaster?' I said, 'Oh, really?' "She said, 'How naff is this, they did it in Paris on the Eiffel Tower'." After Amanda and Ashley expressed their shock, he admitted he debated whether to scrap the plan completely. However, he decided to go ahead with the proposal but carried it out in a more private setting - their hotel room. He joked: "It wasn't as special as it might've been. So essentially, I hold Rod and Penny personally responsible for the complete collapse of my wedding proposal." While the engagement he had imagined didn't quite go to plan, the main thing was that Sophie gladly accepted his proposal. The pair went on to wed in Ditchling, Sussex and now have two sons together; Sidney, 17, and Kit, 16. As for Rod and Penny, the Loose Women star is the singer's third wife who he has two sons with; Alastair, 19, and Aiden, 14. Sir Rod has eight kids in total across five different women. His other children are Sarah, 61, Kimberly, 45, Sean, 44, Ruby, 38, Renee, 33, Liam, 30. Before Penny, he was married to Alana Stewart from 1979 to 1984, followed by Rachel Hunter from 1990 to 2006.
