Penny Lancaster, 51, and Rod Stewart, 77, who they first met at a party in 1999, fell in love after she began taking pictures of him while he was on tour. When Rod asked Penny to marry him in 2005, she was already expecting their first child.
Alastair, who is now 17 years old, was born that November. Rod and Penny started to long for a sibling soon.
But after two years of unsuccessfully trying to conceive naturally, the couple decided to seek medical assistance.
After three “grueling” rounds of IVF therapy, Penny finally fell pregnant with her second child in 2010.
Nevertheless, despite her best efforts, she eventually heard the gloomy news that had the power to completely upend her life.
Louise, Penny’s sister-in-law, was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer at the young age of 36.
Doctors discovered two cancers and impacted lymph nodes in Louise, who is married to Penny’s brother Oliver, and promptly advocated a mastectomy.

Penny was shocked by the news, especially given that she had lost her friend Maria Falco to the illness in 2005.
Penny discussed the impact Louise’s illness had on her in a 2010 interview.

Alastair, who was four years old at the time, had been begging for a younger sibling or brother, so their happiness over the baby was much greater.
The model claimed that Alastair’s pleas of “Mummy, I really, really, really want a baby!” helped to keep her moving.

“I did say that I would put an end to the hunt at 40, that I would understand how fortunate I am that we have Alastair.
Thankfully, our desire was granted, and everything is now OK.
Additionally, Rod has six kids from prior partnerships.
Sarah Streeter, his first child, was born in 1963; she is currently 59 years old. He married Alana Stewart in 1979, and the two of them had two children: Sean, 42, and Kimberly, 43.

In 1987, the rock singer and the model became pregnant, giving birth to Ruby, who is now 35 years old.
Rod got engaged a second time three years later. This time, the model Rachel Hunter, who is from New Zealand, was picked.
Renée, 30 years old, and Liam, 28, were their two children.
