Penny Lancaster has made an interesting comment about her long-running romance with Rod Stewart.
The model seemingly knows how to keep the spark alive with her partner, as in her latest conversation with Dear magazine, she playfully joked about the endurance it takes to keep up with the “Maggie May“singer.
She claimed she “deserves a medal” for keeping up with Rod Stewart for 26 years.
Revealing the secret to their long-lasting romance, she told the magazine: “Yes, 26 years! I deserve a medal, don’t I? It’s just a joke.”
She continued: “We don’t take each other for granted and make sure we have date nights together, go out for dinner, go to the theater or whatever, do the school run together and have an ‘a deux’ coffee on the way home, long romantic walks together…”
“We love reminiscing about our lives together and also making plans for future, more romantic trips.”
Penny has also attributed their long-term love to having “time apart” to “keep the spark alive”, and they are currently both excited to be reunited after three weeks apart.
She said: “We miss each other desperately and have been counting down the days.”
“Normally Rod has a driver to pick him up from the airport, but I’m meeting him because we can’t wait to see each other.”
“From the beginning of our 26 years together, we spent some time apart. For example, the first year I was in Britain studying photography while he lived in the US.”
“We spent hours on the phone talking about everything, including photography and paintings.”
In addition to the public persona of a legendary rock icon, Lancaster offered a rare glimpse into the man behind the music. She described her husband as having a “deeply spiritual, sensitive and artistic side.”
Penny said: “Rod has a deeply spiritual, sensitive and artistic side. That’s how he is underneath. That’s the real man.”
“He can be quite demanding and needs a lot of attention, but that’s fine because I’m good at giving it,” she concluded.
