Sir Rod Stewart, a legendary singer and performer, has recently come to the defense of his wife, Penny Lancaster, in light of her time on the popular cooking competition show, MasterChef. It's been quite a whirlwind for Sir Rod, as the BBC announced that host Gregg Wallace would be stepping down from his role due to historic allegations of misconduct. Sir Rod, who is known for his outspoken nature, took to social media to express his thoughts on the situation.
The 79-year-old singer immediately branded Gregg as a "tubby, bald-headed, ill-mannered bully" and dedicated his post to his wife Penny, who reportedly clashed with the host on the set of MasterChef. Penny, who is 53 years old, had participated in the competition in 2021 and made it to the latter stages before being eliminated in the semi-final. It seems that tensions were high between her and Gregg during filming, with Sir Rod accusing the host of humiliating her and having footage of the incident cut from the show.
But when did Sir Rod and Penny first meet? It was back in 1999, around the time of Sir Rod's 18th studio album, "When We Were the New Boys." At the age of 54, Sir Rod embarked on a tour to support the album, playing over 100 shows. It was during this time that Penny, who was 28 at the time, asked to photograph Sir Rod on tour. This sparked a romance between the two, and they dated for seven years amidst Sir Rod's separation and divorce from his second wife.
In November 2005, Sir Rod and Penny welcomed their first child, Alistair Wallace, shortly after getting engaged. They tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony on the Italian Riviera in June 2007, taking over a medieval monastery for the day. The couple renewed their vows ten years later, this time opting for a more intimate ceremony at home in Essex.
Sir Rod and Penny have two sons together. Alistair was born in 2005, and Aiden Patrick was born in 2011. The couple struggled with fertility issues and underwent IVF treatment to conceive Aiden. Sir Rod shared in his memoir that he was on tour when Penny called to say she was finally pregnant, and they both wept for joy.
Despite their ups and downs, Sir Rod and Penny have a strong and loving relationship. And while Sir Rod may have some strong opinions about MasterChef and its former host, it's clear that he and Penny have each other's backs.
