Penny Lancaster Says She Nearly Left Rod Stewart Over Having Children

She recalls recent adoption talks that were abandoned over an age-gap concern.

Overview

  • Lancaster said in a new Saga interview that she would have ended the relationship if Stewart had refused to have children with her.
  • She described Stewart's early reluctance when he was already a father of six, adding that he now wishes he had agreed to babies sooner.
  • The couple considered adopting as recently as five years ago but decided against it due to worries about the age difference.
  • Stewart and Lancaster married in 2007 and share two sons, Alastair, 19, and Aiden, 14, alongside his six older children from previous relationships.
  • Lancaster lightened the recollection by joking that she is effectively a mother of three because Stewart is "a big baby" who needs attention in a different way.
