Penny Lancaster, a presenter and author, recently shared insights about her relationship with music icon Rod Stewart. She recounted how Rod describes her style using three simple words: “sexy hot legs.” This phrase playfully references Rod’s hit song “Hot Legs,” which was released in 1978 and reached number five on the music charts.
Confidence Boost from Rod Stewart
During her appearance on Amanda Wakely’s Style DNA podcast, Lancaster discussed the impact Rod has had on her confidence. She reminisced about a memorable trip to the Bahamas early in their relationship. Having just ended a previous romance, she did not have funds for new clothing.
Upon arrival, Rod surprised her by providing a wardrobe filled with stylish clothes and shoes. “He knew the struggles I’d gone through,” she reflected. This gesture was not controlling; rather, it was intended to help her feel more confident in her appearance.
Penny’s Journey with Body Image
Although Rod has supported her in embracing her physical attributes, Lancaster has faced challenges with body image. She opened up about her experiences of being “too skinny” as a child, then feeling “not skinny enough” when she began modeling. She also discussed the toll that multiple IVF cycles, two pregnancies, and menopause have taken on her body.
Despite these struggles, she continues to work towards feeling comfortable in her own skin.
Marriage and Love Story
Penny and Rod tied the knot on June 16, 2007, in a romantic ceremony aboard a yacht in Portofino. They have been together since 1999, building a strong partnership over the years.
