Musician Rod Stewart and his spouse Penny Lancaster - Your union is facing significant challenges.
Rod Stewart, aged 79, might be the reason behind his split from Penny Lancaster, 53, his wife since 2007. They share two sons, Alastair, 18, and Aiden, 13, who reside with their mom in a luxurious estate in Essex, England, while Rod often hangs out in his $70 million villa in Beverly Hills, California.
Last year, Rod expressed his desire to make his British residence his primary dwelling and sell his American abode. However, it appears that his thoughts have shifted, causing dismay to Penny.
Standstill in their 17-year union
A British "Daily Mail" source revealed that Rod had promised Penny, who is comfortable in England and established professionally there, to reside there permanently. However, he now refuses to give up his LA home permanently. Rod cherishes his life in LA and does not wish to depart - his villa is no longer listed for sale.
Due to their differing opinions on their living situation, Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster have maneuvered their marriage into a predicament. "They are at an impasse, and Penny is furious that Rod has broken his promise. At present, it's about salvaging their marriage," the insider added.
Time for Rod Stewart to depart
In June 2023, Rod Stewart, one of Britain's most successful musicians with 250 million records sold, announced his plans to return to Great Britain after nearly 50 years in the USA. "I adore LA and the Americans have treated me well, but it's time to go. My two sons are attending school in Britain," he shared with "Virgin Radio" at the time.
However, he also emphasized that leaving his 1975-built yellow mansion would be painful: "The likelihood of me selling it is extremely low, as I adore it. If I don't get the right price, I won't sell it." Originally, Stewart priced his house at $70 million in December, later increasing it to $80 million, before reducing it again in February by $6 million to $74 million (approximately €67 million).
Despite Rod Stewart's declaration to return to Great Britain and be with his sons, the luxurious estate in Essex, where his sons reside with Penny Lancaster, seems to be a point of contention. Rod's reluctance to leave his $74 million villa in Beverly Hills has led to a standstill in their 17-year union, causing frustration for Penny Lancaster.
Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster, despite facing challenges due to their differing preferences for residing in different countries, continue to be married, hoping to find a resolution to their current predicament.
