Penny Lancaster has captivated fans and followers with a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating 18 years of marriage to her husband, legendary rock star Sir Rod Stewart. The couple, whose romantic journey began with a proposal atop the Eiffel Tower and a lavish wedding in Portofino, Italy, continues to be cherished by fans worldwide for their deep connection and enduring love.
Marking their anniversary, Penny Lancaster, a well-known panellist on "Loose Women", shared a beautiful social media update documenting a truly special celebration. The couple embarked on the iconic Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, reliving the magic of their engagement in Paris and their wedding in Portofino. Penny captioned her Instagram post:
“Entering a bygone era @vsoetrain from Paris where we got engaged to Portofino where we got married 18 years ago, it’s totally magical @sirrodstewart xxxx.”
She also shared an image inside the luxurious train, joyfully holding a sign with their romantic destinations, describing the anniversary adventure as “a dream come true.” The celebrated train journey, famous for its elegance and scenic vistas, winds through the French countryside and along the dazzling coastlines of France and Italy. It’s a lavish experience — a Grand Suite ticket can cost upwards of £27,400 per person, while a Cabin Suite is priced around £18,850, according to the official Venice Simplon-Orient-Express website.
Sir Rod Stewart, who turned 80 earlier this year, and Penny Lancaster have a history punctuated by grand gestures and unwavering affection. The couple exchanged vows at La Cervara, a historic abbey near Portofino, surrounded by family and close friends. Lancaster radiated elegance, initially wearing a classic bridal gown with a strapless neckline, and later changing into a relaxed white chiffon slip dress for an intimate moment on a boat, as revealed recently on her Instagram Stories. Rod matched her style, donning a white jacket and black trousers as they sailed into St. Margarita to register their marriage before their religious ceremony.
Stewart himself has expressed his devotion, sharing in a past social media post:
"18 years of love, affection and undiminished devotion. What a woman she is!"

Rod Stewart recently had to cancel concerts in the United States due to illness after an intensive worldwide tour spanning ten countries and 41 performances. Despite these challenges, Stewart admits to being as busy as ever, juggling multiple projects, including two new albums and two documentaries. He revealed that even a planned book about his model railway had to be postponed due to his packed schedule.

On Instagram, fans and celebrities alike congratulated the couple, sharing well wishes and fond memories of their journey together. Rod Stewart also took to Instagram for Penny’s birthday earlier this year, further showcasing their affection in the public eye.
