Penny Lancaster<\/a> has taught him to be more honest.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Sir Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster’s ‘honest’ marriage<\/p>\n
The 80-year-old rocker has been married to Penny, 54, for over 25 years and while there are downsides to their age-gap romance, Rod believes it has been beneficial to both of them.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the BBC\u2019s My Life At Christmas with Anita Rani, he said: \u201cI think, to be honest with you, I think the age difference, there are downsides to the age difference, but not many. I think there’s a maturity, I may have taught Pen, and there’s a certain honesty that she’s taught me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’ve always said we don’t argue before we go to bed, and we do not argue when we’ve had a glass of wine, and we wait till the morning. And if we do have arguments, it’s over real quick. And I try to teach my boys, all of them, ‘real men can say sorry\u2019, and that’s what we do. There\u2019s a wonderful honesty between us and long may it last.\u201d<\/p>\n
Penny also praised Rod for becoming more \u201copen and honest\u201d over the years.<\/p>\n
\nShe told him: \u201cI think that over the years, you’ve become a lot more understanding and compassionate to others around you, because obviously, you are the super legendary star that Rod Stewart is on a pedestal all the time but I’m quite diplomatic and carry a lot of empathy, and I think maybe some of that has rubbed off, because the kids will say that dad’s much easier to talk to now. Because I am open and honest it has encouraged Rod to do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nRod also spoke about his friendship with Sir Elton John and the lavish Christmas gifts they used to buy for each other.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: “We used to live just around the corner from each other. So we saw a lot of each other. You know, a lot of history there. So I went out down to Selfridges, Harrods, and I bought him this fridge. It don’t look like a fridge, it looks like a piece of furniture. So you press a button and the lid opens, all steam comes out, and up it comes two bottles of champagne, glasses, all chilled and everything. Pour yourself a drink, and it goes back down. So I was all pleased with myself. And I took it over to Elton’s. I said, ‘Here you are, dear’. And he said, ‘Thank you it’s so lovely. Here’s your present’.<\/p>\n
\n“It was a Rembrandt. A Rembrandt etching in those days was worth about 12 grand. It’s up near the cinema room in Beverly Hills. Oh yeah, it’s very special.”<\/p>\n
