Speaking to HELLO!Rod explained: “We listen to each other and try to resolve all our disagreements (dirty laundry, as Penny says) right away, before we go to sleep.”
When Penny met Rod in 1999, she was performing as part of his band and he was still married to his second wife, Rachel.
Rachel and Rod separated that year and divorced in 2006, and the singer married Penny in 2007.
By this time, Rod already had six children, and Penny admitted: “I knew I had to be honest with them too for them to accept me. I couldn’t pretend to please each and every one of them, so I just was myself. It took a while, but they came to trust me.”
Despite his vast fortune, Rod is determined to ensure his children remain humble, and his eldest son Alastair, who is with Penny, drives a used Ford Fiesta.
He said: “As the saying goes, they know the value of a dollar. On his last birthday, we wanted to give him a new car, but he didn’t want it. I think the kids are really grateful for the life they have.”
Rod was just 17 when his girlfriend Susannah Boffey, an art student, became pregnant and the bankrupt couple put baby Sarah up for adoption, with her not finding out her father was a star until she was 18.
His second daughter, Kimberly, was born in 1979 during his marriage to Alana Hamilton, followed by son Sean.
The trip comes after Rod and Penny recently discussed the secrets of their loving and successful marriage and how they navigated the unique problems of living in a “blended family” (pictured together in February).
Reflecting on their family life in a candid interview last week, the duo detailed how they ensure their relationship remains “special” and raise their brood to remain humble (Penny pictured with Alastair and Aiden).
They were five and four years old when their parents separated in 1984 and Rod was also rarely around when they were growing up. busy traveling the world during his formative years.
The singer also initially had a strained relationship with his daughter Ruby Stewart, whose mother is Texan model Kelly, whom he began dating in 1983.
Fiercely loyal to her mother, Ruby remained outside the Stewart family circle until her teens, telling an interviewer in 2008 that there was a time when she and her half-sister Kimberly weren’t even speaking to each other.
Luckily, Rod put aside his wild ways when he married Rachel in 1990 – in fact, she is credited with being the only woman to ever break his heart.
He remained a close father to his children, Renee and Liam Stewart, after the couple’s divorce in 2006.
The Maggie May singer married Penny the following year, and many credit her with keeping the plates of their complicated family happily running.
As she once said in an interview: “Two children is the perfect number for me, although I always think we will have eight children because all of Rod’s children are part of our lives, like one big extended family.”
