Sir Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster share a sweet glimpse into their ‘wonderful and romantic’ weekend away in Lake Como

Sir Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster have shared a sweet glimpse into their romantic weekend away in Lake Como. 

The singer-songwriter, 80, and the model, 54, have have been married since 2007 and have two children together, Alastair, 19, and Aiden, 14. 

And amid their busy lives, Penny took to Instagram on Tuesday to share that they ahd managed to steal away to Italy for the weekend. 

Taking a trip to the H๏τel Villa d’Este in the stunning Lake Como, Penny and Sir Road enjoyed sunny boat rides and Al Fresco dinners. 

Penny looked effortlessly chic in a sweet boat snap as she sported a pair of black tailored trousers and a tiger print blouse with her blonde locks in natural waves, with her legs draped over her dapper husband’s knee. 

And in another snap, the pair embraced outside with Rod’s flashy white embellished blazer on display.

Penny captioned the snap: ‘One of the most wonderful, romantic, long weekend get aways. 

‘So appreciative the opportunities we get to spend quality time together in our busy lives. @sirrodstewart #tour.’

Their sweet display comes days after it was revealed their son Alistair had dropped out of fashion school to pursue a career in film.

Sir Rod always tipped his teenage son Alastair to play a younger version of himself if a Hollywood film were ever made about his very colourful life.

‘There’s a remarkable similarity,’ the singer remarked.

And maybe Alastair could be up for the challenge amid his career change. 

Last autumn, he embarked on a three-year degree course in fashion design, entrepreneurship and branding at the JCA London Fashion Academy.

‘I was attending that fashion college, but I’ve left now,’ he tells me at the world premiere of Ocean with Sir David Attenborough.

‘I’m in a bit of a transitional period at the moment. 

‘I’m trying to get into the film industry, and I want to follow my pᴀssion.’

Alastair, who attended the screening at Royal Festival Hall in London with his mother Penny Lancaster, 54, added: ‘I want to be behind the camera, that’s my real pᴀssion. 

‘I’ve made a few short plays, I write a lot of scripts, and I write a lot of screenplays.’

Rod’s, 80, wife Penny recently opened up on the trials and tribulations of navigating a blended family with her husband’s other children.

The Maggie May hitmaker has eight children with five different women, two of whom are sons Alastair and Aidan, 14, who he welcomed with his third wife Penny.

Rod also has Liam, 30, and Renee, 32, with his second wife, model Rachel Hunter, 55, while Kimberly, 45, and Sean, 44, are from his first marriage to actress Alana Stewart, 79.

He has another daughter Ruby, 37, from a former relationship with model Kelly Emberg, 65 and Rod’s firstborn child is Sarah Streeter, 61, who was raised by her adoptive parents Gerald and Evelyn Thubron.

Discussing the subject of blended families on the Loose Women podcast with Coleen Nolan, 60, Penny reflected on entering Rod’s life when his children Liam and Renee were young, revealing how ‘difficult’ it must’ve been for them having another woman in their lives following their parents’ divorce.

They were speaking in response to a caller who admitted that she didn’t want her ex-husband to take their children on holiday with his partner and their children.

Sharing her own experiences of becoming a stepmother, Penny explained: ‘There’s five mothers, so it’s a bit blended’, later adding: ‘I really did take into account what it must be like for the mother when I was around Rod [Stewart’s] children.

‘Liam and Renee, Liam was just five and Renee was seven. So, still quite young and impressionable and I could only imagine how difficult it was for those children to have their parents divorced, let alone to have another woman around.’

She added: ‘I guess I just wanted them to see that dad was happy, and if I was the person that was making dad happy and dad still communicated with mum and they still made the big decisions about things, it was a case of just tiptoeing.’

Penny has a great relationship with all of Rod’s children, with the whole clan often holidaying together.
