In a recent Instagram post, Rod Stewart reacted to gossip about his 27-year marriage.
“Despite erroneous articles in the Daily Mail and other tabloids that followed suit. We wanted to put the record straight. There is absolutely no rift between Penny and I and no disagreement over where we should reside, in fact, it’s the opposite,” the singer wrote in his post.
Stewart continued, “We moved permanently back to our beloved Britain a year ago but are fortunate to also have homes in different countries, which we love to visit. Originally, we did think it made sense to sell our house in L.A., but having spent a wonderful time there this summer with family and friends during my Vegas residency, we realized that it makes sense to keep our house there.”
“Two of my eldest children still live in Celtic House (The LA residence). Penny and I couldn’t be more in love with each other after 27 glorious years,” the rocker added. “Please trust me on this… There’s no disharmony in our marriage. Rod ‘a very lucky man’ Stewart.”
Earlier this week, the Daily Mail said the couple is arguing about selling their big Beverly Hills mansion. The singer bought it in 1991 for $12 million. It now might be worth $70 million. The mansion has nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and a football pitch.
The couple met in 1999 and got married in 2007. They have two sons: Alastair, 18, and Aiden, 13. Stewart was touring and doing his Las Vegas show but had to cancel two North American dates earlier this month because of summer COVID-19.
On August 7, he also had to cancel his 200th Las Vegas show because of strep throat. His Las Vegas residency, called The Hits, is at Caesars Palace and will now run through March, May, and June next year.
