Penny Lancaster shuts down rumours of a marriage ‘rift’ by serenading her husband Sir Rod Stewart with a rendition of the Grease hit Hopelessly Devoted To You at charity event

Penny Lancaster shut down rumours of marriage trouble with Sir Rod Stewart as she serenaded her husband singing Greece‘s Hopelessly Devoted To You on Friday.

The Loose Women star, 53 and the veteran rocker, 79 have reportedly been desperately working on their 17-year marriage after Rod reneged on their plans to sell his £55million Beverly Hills mansion and return full-time to the UK.

But a clip of the couple showed there was no love lost as Penny belted out a tune down the microphone while her husband lovingly watched on during the launch of Hopelessly Devoted at The Ned London.

Penny was the epitome of chic, dazzled in a figure-hugging floor-length dress adorned with an autumnal floral print.

For the grand evening, Penny styled her blonde locks into a voluminous bouncey blowout.

The Loose Women star, 53 and the veteran rocker, 79 have reportedly been working on their 17-year marriage after Rod reneged on plans to sell his Beverly Hills mansion and return to the UK 

As she put on a glamourous display singing the beautiful melody, Rod watched on at his wife in adoration.

For the glitzy affair, Rod commanded attention in a black and silver-patterned two-piece, which he layered over a crisp white shirt and black tie.

Rod and Penny were seen looking cosy at the event as they hugged one another and shared a karaoke duet.

The evening was designed to celebrate the incredible bond between humans and their pets. 

Hopelessly Devoted was created by Mark Aldridge to help a small charity called Celia Hammond Animal Trust who are in desperate financial need.

The couple were said to be desperately working on their 17-year marriage after the singer reneged on their plans to sell his $74 million Beverly Hills mansion and return to the UK.

The event came after Rod promised Penny they would pack up their lives in Los Angeles for their sprawling £4million countryside estate in Harlow, Essex, after he revealed it was ‘time to leave’ the US last year.

But DailyMail.com reported the pair are now at a ‘stalemate,’ with Rod refusing to leave LA.

It was reported that Penny refused to stay after he extended his Las Vegas residency and rejected two offers on the sprawling nine-bedroom property just over a month ago.

The news came days after Penny- who has sons Alastair, 18, and Aiden, 13 with the Maggie May singer she married in 2007 – hinted at ‘family issues.’

‘Rod loves his life in LA and he flies back and forth to Vegas for his gigs,’ a well-placed insider said.

‘He gets to spend quality time with his grandchildren and hosts a banquet dinner almost every Sunday night at home for a crowd of his best friends.’

Rod revealed plans to relocate to his native UK in June 2023 when he listed his 33,000-square-foot Beverly Hills abode – which also includes a three-story guesthouse, swimming pool and a sizable soccer pitch for £52million.

He then cranked up the asking price to £60 million in December, before slashing it by £4.5 million in February to leave a £55million price tag.

But Rod has since pulled the property from the market, leaving Lancaster – who is a regular on UK panel show Loose Women, works as a special constable for the City of London Police and considers the British countryside ‘home’ – fuming.

‘Penny has no plans to return to LA, which she’s not a fan of, while Rod has no plans to move back right now,’ the insider continued.

‘They’re at a stalemate and Penny is angry that Rod’s gone back on his word. It’s about saving their marriage right now.’

DailyMail.com contacted representatives for Rod and Penny for comment at the time.
