Rod Stewart told fans “trust me” as he spoke out on claims of a “rift” with his wife.
The rocker, 79, and his Loose Women panelist wife Penny Lancaster, 53, were reported to be butting heads over their living situation. Rod has been working in the US on his Las Vegas residency, while Penny’s multiple jobs are based in the UK.
But now dad-of-eight Rod has cleared things up, saying the couple “wanted to put the record straight”. He released a statement to his 1.4million followers.

It read: “There is absolutely no rift between Penny and I and no disagreement over where we should reside, in fact it’s the opposite.

“We moved permanently back to our beloved Britain a year ago but are fortunate to also have homes in different countries, which we love to visit. Originally, we did think it made sense to sell our house in LA, but having spent a wonderful time there this summer with family and friends during my Vegas residency we realised that it makes sense to keep our house there.

He went on: “Penny and I could not be more in love with each other after 27 glorious years. Please trust me on this… there’s no disharmony in our marriage.”
The Do Ya Think I’m Sexy? hitmaker signed off as “Rod ‘a very lucky man’ Stewart”.
It was previously reported that the couple had reached a “stalemate” about where they should reside. But they have now taken their £53million Beverly Hills mansion off the market.

A source told the Daily Mail: “There is nothing sinister or suspicious about this whatsoever. People decide to take their houses on and off the market for all kinds of reasons.”
Rod shares two sons with Penny – Alastair, 18, and Aiden, 13. He also has six other children from four other mothers – Sarah Streeter, 60; Kimberly Alana Stewart, 45; Sean Stewart, 43; Ruby Stewart, 37; Renee Stewart, 32; and Liam Stewart, 29.
