Born on March 15, 1971, in Chelmsford, Essex, England, we
need not look far to discover where Penny Lancaster got her
athletic ability and love for fitness. Both her parents were
avid gym-goers throughout her childhood, and her brother
Oliver achieved his longtime goal of becoming a fitness
instructor.
Heavily involved in dance -- tap, ballet and modern -- from
the age of 6 onward, Lancaster had early dreams of becoming
a professional. By the time she was 16 years old, however,
Penny was so lithe and tall that she felt aerobics, not
dance, would be a better route. Six years later, Lancaster
was so dedicated to aerobics and the lifestyle that came
with it that she decided to turn this love into a career.
Just as she became a certified fitness trainer, an obviously
talented model scout picked Lancaster out from the crowd and
suggested she consider this line of work. Always game, Penny
jumped right into the role of model and supplemented her
income nicely as a statuesque blonde.
Never one to rest on her laurels though, Penny thought it
best to get to know the other side of modeling --
photography -- and began taking classes to learn the craft.
In 1998, the photography student and gushing fan had the
chance to meet Rod Stewart. The leggy Brit asked the famous
singer if she could take a picture of him and, as they
discussed the shot, they realized they had a lot in common.
Soon, Stewart and Lancaster were dating. The tabloids loved
the couple, and it was not just because of Penny's beauty.
Stewart was going through a highly public separation from
wife Rachel Hunter and the famous lady's man's new belle
became fodder for the press. Public words were exchanged
between Hunter and Lancaster, and rumor had it that the two
models had a fair amount of animosity towards each other.
Despite these distractions, Lancaster stayed on her career
path, working both as a photographer for Hello! magazine and
a lingerie spokesmodel for Ultimo. Her work for well-known
bra company Ultimo became her claim to fame -- aside from
boyfriend Stewart, of course -- so the public was quite
surprised when the company canned Lancaster in favor of --
who else? -- Rachel Hunter.
The obvious publicity stunt created more tension between the
two, but Penny, ever the diplomatic one, ended the public
dispute by calling a truce with Hunter during an arranged
face-to-face encounter. Hardly perturbed by her lack of
modeling work, Penny went right to work on her other
passion, developing a fitness DVD called Ultimate Body
Workout. The training tape highlighted Lancaster's years of
knowledge as a fitness trainer and, as a result, sold
extremely well.
Her career plans went to the back of her mind on March 9,
2005, however, when longtime boyfriend Rod Stewart asked for
her hand in marriage atop the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The
couple announced plans to marry as soon as Stewart's divorce
with Hunter was finalized. Adding fuel to the media frenzy
that began surrounding the couple was Stewart's statement
that Lancaster was pregnant, set to deliver sometime in
December 2005.
In between getting set for married life and parenthood,
Lancaster is heading a line of hair removal products called
"Hot Legs," fianc Stewart's nickname for her and the title
of one of his many hit songs. She also showed off her
performing skills for a charity event, as she sang and
danced in Tonight's The Night, a musical based on Rod
Stewart's hits.
