Penny Lancaster (born in Chelmsford,
Essex, England, on March 15, 1971) is an English model.
She is 6ft 1 inches tall. She has been married to the
rock singer Rod Stewart since June 16, 2007, Penny gave
birth to her first child, a 7lb, 7oz boy on November 27,
2005. Rod and Penny named the baby Alastair Wallace
Stewart.
The longtime girl of Rod Stewart, Lancaster saw fame and
controversy come her way during her courtship with the
notorious ladies' man. Fitness videos and lingerie
modeling made her a beauty to behold, but Lancaster was
just as well-known for being in the middle of a battle
between Stewart and wife Rachel Hunter, who were not yet
divorced when the raspy singer asked for Lancaster's
hand in marriage.
Heavily involved in dance -- tap, ballet and modern --
from the age of 6 onward, Lancaster had early dreams of
becoming a professional. By the time she was 16 years
old, however, Penny was so lithe and tall that she felt
aerobics, not dance, would be a better route. Six years
later, Lancaster was so dedicated to aerobics and the
lifestyle that came with it that she decided to turn
this love into a career.
Just as she became a certified fitness trainer, an
obviously talented model scout picked Lancaster out from
the crowd and suggested she consider this line of work.
Always game, Penny jumped right into the role of model
and supplemented her income nicely as a statuesque
blonde.
Never one to rest on her laurels though, Penny thought
it best to get to know the other side of modeling --
photography -- and began taking classes to learn the
craft. In 1998, the photography student and gushing fan
had the chance to meet Rod Stewart. The leggy Brit asked
the famous singer if she could take a picture of him
and, as they discussed the shot, they realized they had
a lot in common.
Soon, Stewart and Lancaster were dating. The tabloids
loved the couple, and it was not just because of Penny's
beauty. Stewart was going through a highly public
separation from wife Rachel Hunter and the famous lady's
man's new belle became fodder for the press. Public
words were exchanged between Hunter and Lancaster, and
rumor had it that the two models had a fair amount of
animosity towards each other.
Despite these distractions, Lancaster stayed on her
career path, working both as a photographer for Hello!
magazine and a lingerie spokesmodel for Ultimo. The
obvious publicity stunt created more tension between the
two, but Penny, ever the diplomatic one, ended the
public dispute by calling a truce with Hunter during an
arranged face-to-face encounter.
Hardly perturbed by her lack of modeling
work, Penny went right to work on her other passion,
developing a fitness DVD called Ultimate Body Workout.
The training tape highlighted Lancaster's years of
knowledge as a fitness trainer and, as a result, sold
extremely well. |
