Sometimes a musician can’t be successful without a little emotional strife. That seems to be the case for Rod Stewart, 68, who revealed that he and his wife Penny Lancaster, 42, broke up while explaining the inspiration behind a song on his new album, Time.

Rod Stewart: ‘Penny Lancaster & I Broke Up For Two Weeks’

“I cover Tom Waits’ ‘Picture In a Frame’ on my new album,” the “Hot Legs” singer told the Australian magazine, Life. “Penny and I broke up for two weeks and the song is about that time,” Rod admits (though we’re not sure if he’s aware that the cover song probably isn’t actually about him). Rod and Penny have been married for about six years, but Rod did not specify when he and Penny separated.

We’ve always known the 68-year-old singer is a romantic at heart and even while he was separated from Penny he held onto the hope that they’d get back together. “I asked her for a photo of herself in a frame so that I could see her when I went to bed and when I woke up.”

Rod Stewart’s Thoughts On Love

Fortunately for Rod, he didn’t have to look at the framed picture for long — he and Penny reunited after two weeks of separation. But, he insists, the experience made him reflect and gave him new perspective on love.

“I have always loved women, won some, lost some, but it’s not about the magic touch, it’s about being a better person and a good listener,” Rod says, even though everybody knows the 80s heartthrob has “the magic touch.”

Rod Stewart’s Romantic Advice To His Children

Rod is obviously no stranger to love — or breakups. His marriage with Penny is his third, and that’s not counting his seven-year relationship with model Kelly Emberg. Besides Alistair, 7, and Aiden, 2, the two children he has with Penny, Rod has five other children – Kimberly, 33, Sean, 32, Ruby, 24, Renee, 20, and Liam, 19. Based on his long history with love, Rod also had some romantic advice for the kids.

Rod concludes by saying that wisdom and experience are essential to having a lasting relationship: “Marriage is supposed to be a unison by two people,” he says. “I thought I was ready but I wasn’t. I’m against any of my kids marrying before 30.”

Good thing, Kimberly Stewart’s 33, right Harry Styles?

Word has it that Taylor Armstrong is getting the ax from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, along with an another unidentified housewife. RHOBH plans to bring two new faces on board, TV host Dayna Devon and Rod Stewart‘s wife Penny Lancaster.

Dayna Devon Replacing Taylor Armstrong On ‘RHOBH’?

TMZ is reporting that former Extra host Dayna, 42, is the top contender to replace Taylor. Dayna also stars in the new TLC show Plastic Wives with her famous plastic surgeon husband Brent Moelleken.

Dayna has had “multiple contacts” with the casting directors of RHOBH, who are interested in hiring the mother of two for the next season.

Rod Stewart’s Wife, Penny Lancaster

Rod’s wife Penny, 41, is also in the running to step in the shoes of a housewife that is said to be leaving. No word yet on who that could be. But it definitely won’t be Adrienne Maloof, 51, who is currently hot and heavy with Rod Stewart’s son Sean Stewart, 32. Talk about a family affair. Oh, the drama!

Penny, who has two children with Rod, is also a model and a photographer.

In addition to Taylor, which other housewife do you think is leaving the show? Maybe Lisa Vanderpump has had enough? Or Brandi Glanville, who can’t seem to stop fighting with Adrienne?

Who Should Replace Taylor Armstrong?

Do you think Dayna would make an appropriate replacement for Taylor? Do you even think Taylor should go? What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers?

The five-year-old will get daily lessons in the family’s Las Vegas home, via videolink to a school in the UK!

Rod Stewart is determined to make sure Alistair won’t miss out on an education while he’s performing his Las Vegas show at Caesar’s Palace for the next two years. The online school is so sophisticated, Alistair will be able to attend lessons, download classwork and chat with his teacher 5,000 miles away from the classroom!

Alistair, 5, will be one of the first students to try out the internet-based distance learning system, developed by the Coopersdale Hall School in Rod’s native Essex, England.

It all sounds very hi-tech — but how will Alistair make friends through a video screen?

Rod insists it’s only a temporary measure, and Alistair will return home in the New Year, with his mom Penny Lancaster and baby brother Aiden, six months, to attend the school full-time.

What do you thin, HollyMoms? Are internet schools the future? Or do they take all the fun out of school?

Weigh in!

Rocker Rod Stewart is suffering sleepless nights with newborn son Aiden — forcing him to seek shelter in the spare room!

I love that 66-year-old new dad Rod Stewart is experiencing REAL parenthood unlike many other pampered celebrities…. But perhaps he should help his wife Penny Lancaster feed, change and comfort 10-week-old Aiden rather than run away to another room!

“If the baby wakes up then you have to go sleep in the other room,” Rod reveals. “He’s up every two hours now so a few nights a week I go and sleep in another room.”

Aiden’s Rod’s EIGHTH kid, so I’m impressed he’s so hands on with his latest bundle of joy.

The singer describes it as a “good arrangement, but it seems a bit one-sided to me. I’d never get away with escaping and leaving my partner Jill to look after our baby son Callum in the middle of the night! So I’m urging Rod to man up and get his hands dirty and help out!

The star also revealed little Aiden is suffering reflux, a condition that affects around 50 percentage of newborns, whose digestive systems are not yet developed enough to handle an onslaught of milk.

He tells People.com, “He’s having a little bit of trouble with the reflux. He drinks and brings it all up again, but he’s great.”

But it seems like Rod’s embracing having another baby around, which is just as well — because he’s about to be a grandad!

His daughter Kimberly is pregnant following a fling with actor Benicio Del Toro. Rod was thought to be rumoured to be angry about the unexpected announcement — but he tells People he’s thrilled: “It’s going to be good.”

What do you think about Rod’s parenting arrangement HollyMoms? Am I being too tough on Rod. After all, he is 66!

After a two year struggle to conceive, Rod says he and wife Penny Lancaster’s new “miracle” baby Aiden is their last child…maybe.

After 47 years filled with new babies, Rod Stewart admits that he’s done. At the age of 66, Rod has eight children with five different women, two with his current wife Penny Lancaster, 40, who just gave birth to son Aiden last month. “I can’t have any more kids,” he says, “otherwise I’ll be touring until I’m 90.” Good news?

Penny underwent three rounds of IVF over a course of two years before conceiving Aiden, who Rod calls their “miracle.” “Aiden truly is a miracle,” Rod tells Hello! Magazine. “In the beginning we took it for granted that our second child would be as easy to conceive as Alastair [his 5-year-old son with Penny] was, but the long journey was more than worth it.”

Rod even sings to Aiden when he’s crying — you must admit, you’re a bit jealous.

And although Rod says he is done having kids, if Penny wants another, he might just cave in. He explains he would do “pretty much anything,” to make Miss Lancaster happy. For Rod’s sake, let’s hope it’s not baby number nine.

This 5’11″ beauty might be a former model, but Penny Lancaster is best known for being the current wife of musician, Rod Stewart, 66. The couple just welcomed their second child together, a baby boy named Aiden, who joins big brother Alastair, 5. But, Aiden has six half-siblings as well!

“I’ll never quite understand how mothers manage to do it,” Rod says of his wife. “She hasn’t had much sleep since little Aiden was born. She had two half-hour naps in the middle of the night last night. They just wake up and want feeding and comforting. But it is so amazing, because I hold him and he shouts.”

“So I said to Penny, ‘Why is he peaceful when you hold him?’ She said, ‘Well, he can smell the food and he knows my voice and the touch of my skin.’ So I take my hat off to mothers and especially my Penny.” Aww!

Well, we hope Penny and the whole family have a wonderful day of 40th birthday celebrations.
