Rod Stewart says split from ex-wife Rachel Hunter ‘tore me to shreds’

Rod Stewart has reflected on his marriage to ex-wife Rachel Hunter, admitting that the couple’s relationship was torn apart by their 24-year age gap in the end.

The thrice-married rock star, now 80, met Hunter at Roxbury Club in Los Angeles in 1990, when the model was 21-years-old and he was 45. They married three months later and had two children, before separating in 1999 and officially divorcing in 2006.
