My bad.

Rod Stewart clearly subscribes to the belief of being “Forever Young,” because — age be damned — the 65-year-old is expecting a second child with his 39-year-old wife, Penny Lancaster, next year.
This will be Rod’s eighth child, with four different baby mamas. Spread that seed, Rod! (What a fitting name for him, eh?)
“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 couple said in a statement.
“Not to mention daddy and baby can share diapers and pureed food, while Mom pushes them around in a double-stroller. Just think of all the cost-saving benefits!” they enthused.
