Sir Rod Stewart has bedded more than 1,000 women but once admitted to getting bored of sex.
The rock singer, who turns 79 today (January 10), has been happily married to model Penny Lancaster since 2007 but enjoyed a number of high-profile flings and romances during his early career. The veteran musician had a penchant for blondes and slept with so many women that he has lost count.
But at the height of his fame, the musician said his active sex life left him feeling “lonely”. Speaking to The Sun in 2019, Rod said: “Sex at one point was beginning to be boring, late Eighties, early Nineties, always flying in models left, right and centre. One would arrive, the other would leave.

“It just became I was getting lonely. I thought, ‘You’ve got everything — women, great success, kids’, but there wasn’t a devotion, someone I could be devoted to, so I got bored of it.”
He famously dated Swedish bombshell Britt Ekland, former Sports Illustrated model Kelly Emberg, model Alana Stewart and former New Zealand-born model Rachel Hunter. Rod began dating Penny, 52, in 1999, after he separated from second wife Rachel Hunter.
The couple share two children, Alastair, 18, and Aiden, 12. The rock star has six other children with four different women. The Maggie May hitmaker confirmed more children were off the agenda.
“The banana is back in the fruit bowl!” he joked, in an interview with The Sun back in 2019. He added: “My cue is back in the rack.” Heartthrob Rod never struggled for female attention, but since tying the knot with Penny, the former Faces lead singer has led a settled life and his wandering eye quickly stopped.
The Loose Women star has been open about their intimate life and once shocked her co-stars with a confession. She confessed that Rod used to lick her toes when they first began dating.
“There is that connection between the toes and other areas of your body, like the neck and your ears, so it can be quite sensual,” she explained. “In the beginning of the relationship when you’re having a go at all sorts of things … [Rod did] that sort of in between the toes. It feels nice!”
When asked what Rod used to go “between the toes”, Penny offered: “His fingers or his tongue.” She added: “If we’re driving into London and we’ve got that hour-and-a-half journey, we always have a kiss on the back seat and he just likes to see as much of me as he can.”
