Who is Rod Stewart’s wife Rachel Hunter?

Rachel Hunter is the ex-wife of Rod Stewart. She is a New Zealand model, actress, and the host of Imagination Television’s Rachel Hunter’s Tour of Beauty.

Hunter was born in Glenfield, a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, and educated at Glenfield College. Her parents divorced when she was still a child. As a child, she wanted to be a ballet dancer but was diagnosed with a rare blood disease which curtailed her dancing ambitions.

Hunter began her career at age 16, modeling in France, Australia, and New Zealand, appearing in Australian Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Australian Cosmopolitan, and for various campaigns throughout New Zealand and Australia. She became the face of Tip Top Ice-Cream in New Zealand and was the “Trumpet Girl”.

She was quickly signed up to Ford Models and immediately embarked on a successful career, landing a Cover Girl cosmetics contract and becoming the spokesperson for the company for quite a few years.

Hunter rose to global prominence after posing as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model in 1989.

She subsequently appeared on magazine covers, including Cosmopolitan, and on the 1994 “Dream Team” cover of Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit issue with other Supermodels Elle MacPherson and Kathy Ireland, and again graced its cover, this time solo, 12 years later in 2006.

At the age of 21, Hunter met rock star Rod Stewart, 24 years her senior, in a Los Angeles nightclub. They married three months later at the Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church in Beverly Hills, California, on December 15, 1990.

Together they have two children: Renée who was born in 1992 and Liam born in 1994. They separated in January 1999 after eight years of marriage, and their divorce was finalized on November 2, 2006.
