London
(ANI):
British
singer
Rod
Stewart
is
gearing
up
to
become
a
dad
for
the
eighth
time,
after
he
and
his
wife
Penny
Lancaster
announced
that
she
is
three
months
pregnant.
Stewart,
65,
and
Lancaster,
39,
who
has
a
son
Alastair,
four,
discovered
the
pregnancy
as
they
celebrated
their
third
wedding
anniversary
in
Italy
in
June.
The
baby
will
arrive
just
weeks
after
Stewart"s
66th
birthday
next
January,
and
shortly
before
Lancaster
turns
40
in
March.
“We
were
thrilled
and
delighted
to
be
able
to
tell
Alastair
that
he
was
going
to
be
the
big
brother
to
a
little
baby,
expected
just
before
Mummy"s
40th
birthday," the
Sun
quoted
them
as
saying
on
August
9.
The
singer,
who
battled
thyroid
cancer
in
2000,
revealed
he
and
his
wife
have
been
trying
for
a
baby
since
last
year.
“It
makes
you
want
to
keep
very
fit.
I"m
a
pretty
good
65.
As
a
parent
of
a
new
child,
I"ll
maybe
be
around
for
25
years
at
most.
But
it"ll
be
a
happy,
loving
25
years," he
added.
