On this day: April 6, 1979

Rod Stewart surprised the world on April 6, 1979 when he married Alana Hamilton, not his longtime girlfriend Britt Ekland.Ekland tried to sue Stewart, much to his displeasure, claiming he would never have reached the level of success he had, without her help and input.

The marriage didn't last very long, with Stewart constantly on the move. The pair divorced in 1984, and Hamilton sues her ex husband for increased alimony. Soon after, Stewart fathered a child with girlfriend Kelly Emberg, but the pair separated in 1990, and Emberg filed a $25 million 'palimony' lawsuit. The following year Stewart married Rachel Hunter.
