Rod Stewart’s ex-wife has been hospitalized with a “stubborn” lung infection that left her in need of an IV. Alana Stewart, 80, said in a post on Instagram on October 6 that she’s at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center in California after taking antibiotics for an extended period. “I’ve been getting IV antibiotics for this infection I’ve had in my lungs for a really long time,” she said. “I’ve been on every kind of oral antibiotic and it hasn’t gotten rid of it, so now I’m doing two weeks of IV antibiotics.” She added: “I can’t say that it’s fun, but I’m really hoping that this is going to work and I’m going to feel 100 percent great and healthy again.” According to People, she came down with COVID last month. The former actress and model said in the caption of the post that she’d “been off the radar for a bit,” due to a “stubborn lung infection.” She and the “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” singer have two children together, Kimberly, 46, and Sean, 45. They were married from 1979 until 1986.
