So keeps the marriage with Rod Stewart fresh - Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster reveal secrets to lasting love after 25 years

Penny Lancaster and Rod Stewart have shared how they keep their relationship strong after more than two decades together. The couple, who married in 2007, still prioritise romance and intimacy in their daily lives. Lancaster recently revealed their secrets to maintaining a fresh and passionate connection.

The pair first met in 1999 when Lancaster, then 27, attended one of Stewart's performances at her college. Their bond deepened over the years, leading to the birth of their first son, Alastair, in 2005. Two years after their wedding, they welcomed their second son, Aiden, in 2011.

Lancaster described Stewart's ongoing pride in his appearance as 'truly sexy' and admitted they still flirt like newlyweds. She also highlighted that their intimate life remains full of 'real passion', proving that time hasn't dulled their connection. Romance plays a key role in their relationship, with Lancaster insisting, 'the more romantic, the better.' The couple makes a point of spending time alone, away from family, friends, and work commitments. This focus on one another helps them stay connected despite their busy lives. Stewart, now 79, has seven children from previous relationships. His eldest, Sarah Streeter, was adopted as a baby in 1963 and later reunited with her father. With his first wife, Alana Stewart, he had Kimberly and Sean. His partner Kelly Emberg gave birth to daughter Ruby, while his second wife, Rachel Hunter, had Renée and Liam with him.

Lancaster and Stewart's relationship thrives on shared affection and deliberate efforts to nurture their bond. Their approach to romance and intimacy offers a glimpse into how long-term couples can sustain passion. Together, they continue to balance family life with moments just for the two of them.
