Highgate-born singer and songwriter Rod Stewart – who has had three wives – wrote at length about his penchant for adultery in his 2012 autobiography.
Looking back, he wrote that he seemed “hell-bent on becoming the Last of the Great Philanderers”. Yet his actions still “haunt” him.
Some rich folks go into philanthropy. Others go into philandering…
He met his third wife Penny Lancaster in 1999, when she was 27. He was 53, and wooed her with the “most romantic and seductive meeting of lips” she’d ever known.

Rod Stewart admits to numerous ‘horrible’ affairs and ‘really unpleasant’ behaviour
In 2012, Rod Stewart’s autobiography (titled simply Rod: The Autobiography) came out.
In it, he writes about the various peaks and troughs of his romantic life.
He has been married three times, first to actress and former model Alana Stewart, née Collins. The collapse of his marriage to Alana had “nothing to do with any other woman,” he claims.
Yet, a few years into their marriage, he met Kelly Emberg. She “took [his] breath away,” and consequently he lied as a way to convince her to go on a date with him.
“The idea that I was always cheating on my wife while we were together is rubbish,” Rod insists. But that doesn’t rule out cheating at all.
