Sir Rod Stewart may have been endowed with a successful career, but he sure couldn’t be more blessed for having a happy family.

Sir Rod has left an indelible mark in the hearts and minds of millions of people worldwide, continuing to make an impact in the lives of many up until today through his music. But outside his career as an artist, Sir Rod is known for being a great family man.

Rod Stewart is among the best-selling music artists of all time. Having started his career in 1962, Stewart joined Jimmy Powell and The Five Dimensions as the band’s harmonica player and vocalist. Later on, he jumped on a few different bands before landing on his current one, Faces.

Apart from joining different groups throughout his musical career, Stewart also established himself as a soloist. To date, he has released a total of 32 studio albums, and seven of those reached No. 1 on the UK Albums Charts.

He is most known for his hits like “Sailing,” “Tonight’s the Night (Gonna Be Alright),” and “You’re in My Heart (The Final Acclaim),” among many other chart-toppers that eventually became classic hits.

Stewart is a recipient of the Grammy Award, a BRIT Award, and an Ivor Novello Award. In 1994, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2005, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and a CBE in the 2007 New Year Honours. Eventually, he was appointed Knight Bachelor in 2016 Birthday Honours.

Releasing countless hits and gaining international success, the rocker was also knighted by Prince William in 2016, making him ‘Sir Roderick David Stewart.’

Stewart opened up to The Daily Mail about his hairy past with women. “There was a period in my life — and it wasn’t a prolonged one, maybe just a few years — where it was a bit “one in, one out,’” Rod admitted.

“The girls involved would never have known that, obviously,” he told the tabloid. The rockstar has eight children from five different women and has tied the knot three times. Most people believed that he would never actually settle down with one woman for the rest of his life.

Luckily, he found his wife Penny, whom he has been married to for more than two decades now.

He first met Penny at the Dorchester Hotel in London days after he and his ex-wife Rachel Hunter divorced.

“The bass player in my band, Carmine, said, ‘Listen, you’ve just come out of a long nine-year marriage. You’re not ready yet,’” he shared.

“I nearly strangled him! Six months later, he gave me her phone number and she came over. She has mended my heart in more ways than one,” he remarked.

With a loving and supportive wife like Penny, Sir Rod said there are simply no words to describe her.

“I am lost for words. They have not invented the words for how I feel about her. She is everything,” he told Express back in 2020.

Penny isn’t only there for Sir Rod as a wife – she is also there for him as a father not just for their two kids, Aiden and Alistair, but also for the latter’s six other children.

Sir Rod has a daughter Sarah from a teenage relationship; Kimberly and Sean from his first wife Alana Hamilton and Ruby from his relationship with Kelly Emberg. He also has a daughter Renee and a son Liam, with his second wife Rachel Hunter.

Sir Rod is also there for Penny whenever she needs him. When Penny underwent menopause, he also made sure to be there for her every step of the way.

“I Googled and Googled and Googled. I Googled menopause so much when she was going through it,” he told the Independent back in 2021. “She was in a fragile situation. I just had to listen and learn and get ready for saucepans being thrown through the kitchen,” he added.

One interesting fact about Sir Rod is that he keeps his family life mostly private. But during a family vacation back in 2022, his wife Penny shared a snap from their rare get-together.

While some might argue that parents should treat all their children equally, Sir Rod has a different approach to parenting. He believes each of his children should be treated depending on their needs.  

“I have to be several different fathers because of the different age groups of my kids. You really have to treat all of them as individuals with individual problems,” he told PEOPLE in an interview back in 2021.

Undeniably fulfilled to have been gifted with a great wife and kids, Sir Rod couldn’t be any happier to see his children.

“I couldn’t ask for anything better. What makes me happiest now is seeing all my kids and my wife with big smiles on their faces,” he remarked.
