Sir Rod Stewart and wife Penny Lancaster ‘renew their vows’ in Australia

Sir Rod Stewart has secretly renewed his wedding vows with wife Penny Lancaster for a second time while touring in Australia, reports claim. 

The legendary singer, 79,  arrived Down Under with his wife, 52, last month to play a string of shows, and according to Woman’s Day magazine the couple found some time away from the spotlight to reaffirm their marriage.

The couple, who recently visited Sydney as part of his tour, are said to have reaffirmed their marriage in recent weeks surrounded by their sons Alastair, 17, and Aiden, 12, and niece Raphaella, 18.

The couple tied the knot in 2007, and are approaching their 16th wedding anniversary. They previously renewed their vows for the first time to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary in 2017.

The Maggie May hitmaker even ‘spaced out his tour’ so his kids could attend the ceremony, the publication claims.

‘Now they can’t wait and are using this chance to do something special while here,’ they added.
