Penny Lancaster Says Children Were a Deal-Breaker in Marriage to Rod Stewart as Memoir Launches

Her memoir Someone Like Me, out Sept. 25, surfaces fertility struggles alongside past assaults, with Stewart publicly praising the account.

Overview

  • She recounts a miscarriage followed by IVF, describing self-administered injections while touring and crediting Stewart for steady support.
  • The couple considered adoption about five years ago but did not proceed due to concerns over a significant age gap within the family.
