Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster have reportedly renewed their vows for the second time as the singer tours Australia.
The Maggie May singer, 78, has been married to model Penny, 52, since 2007. The pair, who started dating in 1999, renewed their vows for the first time in 2017 to mark their ten year anniversary.
Sir Rod has been touring Australia for the last month and is joined Down Under by Penny and their two sons Alastair, 17, and Aiden, 12. The Hoops daft singer reportedly "spaced out his tour" so his children could attend the ceremony, according to Woman's Day magazine.
"There's a very good reason why Rod's insisted he space out his tour dates – it's the perfect place and the perfect time to renew their wedding vows," a close pal told the publication.
"They wanted to do this years ago but, just like his Aussie tour, that's been another thing on hold. Now they can't wait and are using this chance to do something special while here."
They added: "They love Australia and have incredibly happy family memories of their time there when the boys were little. They think there's something magical about Australia and want to exchange new marriage vows there. Penny's made Rod a very happy man and he can't wait to celebrate their against-all-odds union."
"Penny is the first woman Rod's been faithful to, after an early hiccup that saw her walk out on him," the source continued.
"Penny and Rod love being in love, they think there's something fun about celebrating their vows in different locations around the world, so why not do it all again in Sydney!"
Rod told Hello! Magazine in 2017 that he loves his wife 'more than ever' following their vow renewal six years ago.
He gushed: "Penny is my whole world. Love means many things to many people but to me it's wanting to share everything with the one you love and I love Penny now more than ever, if that is at all possible."
At the time, Penny added: "Being able to reflect on those ten years, and say those words to one another and still know we mean them is important. This felt more special.
"You get married with the hope that you'll be together; when we renewed our vows, we said them not with just hope, but with a reassurance. Along with hope, there is also faith, love and bringing all the family together."
