Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster’s 26 years of marriage recently became a topic of discussion. During an interview with Best Magazine, the mother of two talked about how she and her husband have kept the “spark alive.” As per the Daily Mail, she commented, “Yes, 26 years! I deserve a medal, don’t I? Only joking.”
While she seemingly said it in jest, the remark has reportedly sparked rumors about their marriage. A source told RadarOnline, “People close to them were surprised by the ‘I deserve a medal’ remark, it’s being read as more than just a joke. Combined with Penny’s openness about enjoying time apart, it’s prompted quiet divorce gossip.”
Meanwhile, in Lancaster’s interview, she also spoke about how the couple never took “each other for granted.” They would still “flirt” with each other and “laugh” together. Moreover, she mentioned their romantic getaways and their prioritization of intimacy. Despite the simple, candid conversation, her comments caught everyone’s attention.
Another source told the outlet that her “medal” remark has raised eyebrows. “It inevitably gets people asking questions about what’s really going on behind the scenes,” they said.
Furthermore, one insider highlighted another statement that Lancaster added during the interview. She referred to Stewart’s spiritual beliefs and called him “sensitive,” followed by saying that he could be “quite demanding.”
To this, the source claimed, “There’s no confirmation of any split, but when comments like these come out, especially framed around endurance and distance, it inevitably leads to speculation about whether everything is as solid as it seems.”
