Rod Stewart Announces Retirement and Reflects on Personal Life

Rock legend Rod Stewart has announced his sudden retirement after a music career spanning over 60 years. The 81-year-old singer plans to finish his career with one final tour beginning at Dublin's 3Arena in 2027, prompting fans to revisit his journey and personal controversies.

Marriages and Infidelity

Rod Stewart's personal life has generated significant buzz alongside his music. He was previously married three times. His first marriage to actress Alana Stewart ended after five years when he began an affair with model Kelly Emberg, who was 15 years younger than him. Rod left Alana for Kelly, though that relationship also did not last. He later met his second wife, New Zealand supermodel Rachel Hunter, a relationship that ultimately ended in a split that left both with lifelong scars and gave different accounts of their divorce.
