Rocker Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster looked madly in love as they cosied up during a stroll in New York City.

The couple – who have been married for 18 years – were walking through busy Fifth Avenue after having a spot of lunch in the city.

They both appeared in high spirits as Penny, 54, put her arm around her partner, with each of them holding a coffee in their hand.

Penny looked effortlessly glam in a vest and denim shorts, which she paired with a blazer.

She added a pair of sunglasses to complete her outfit, as she walked beside her husband.

Meanwhile, Rod, 80, wore a vibrant printed shirt, pairing it with some cream jeans and a Dolce & Gabbana belt.

Rocker Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster looked madly in love as they cosied up during a stroll in New York City

The couple – who have been married for 18 years – were walking through busy Fifth Avenue after having a spot of lunch in the city earlier this week

Rod looked animated as they chatted during their stroll in Manhattan.

They have been living it up in the city this week, with the couple seen all dolled up during a night out. 

Rod’s appearance comes after he candidly opened up about how his split from his ex-wife Rachel Hunter ‘tore him to shreds’.

He was in a relationship with the New Zealand model, 55, for nine years and they welcomed two children together – daughter Renee, 33, and son Liam, 30.

The pair, who have a 24-year age gap, met at an LA nightclub when Rachel was just 21 years old, with Rod admitting his sister Mary thought his wife was ‘too young’.

Reflecting on the breakdown of their marriage, Rod admitted their age gap did end up being the reason for their eventual split, which he said ‘tore him to shreds’ at the time.

Making rare comments about his ex-wife, he told The Times: ‘Rachel left me because she was too young – my sister said I should never have married her in the first place -but it tore me to shreds.’

Rod met his now-wife Penny Lancaster just six months after his split from Rachel, and said the gap was purely because his friend wouldn’t hand over her number.

When asked if he wanted to be single first, he quipped: ‘F***ing right, there were six months between Rachel and Penny because my bass player, who had Penny’s number, wouldn’t give it to me.

‘He said, ”All you’re going to do now is s**g around”, and he was right: I had a splendid time in those six months.’

Rod gushed over his wife Penny, and told how she has ‘everything’ he wants as he revealed he is now happier than ever.

The Maggie May hitmaker first met his ex-wife Rachel at Roxbury Club in Los Angeles and told how he thought she was a ‘goddess’ in his 2012 autobiography.

‘There was a connection straight away. She was extremely beautiful, but there was something no-nonsense about her as well,’ he shared in the book.

‘It was there in her New Zealand accent, but also in her face, which was open and smart.

‘Not only was she as far removed as could be from the stereotype of the flaky model, but she already had money and fame.

‘That was a relief. In my position, that suspicion was always there: does this woman really like me, or just the stuff that surrounds me?’
