Rachel Hunter: Divorced

30-03-2006 14:20

Rachel Hunter's divorce from Rod Stewart is set to be finalised this week - after a seven year legal battle.

The supermodel and aging rocker split in 1999, but had never legally ended their marriage.

Now Rachel has revealed the pair have finally agreed a settlement.

She is quoted in Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "I should be a free woman by the end of the week. I can finally move on. It feels great."

The stunning blonde wed Rod in 1990 after a whirlwind three-month romance.

She signed a prenuptial agreement to ensure the 'Maggie May' singer - who is reputedly worth

£100 million - held onto his fortune.

Lawyers have agreed a deal whereby Rod provides maintenance for the pair's two children, Renee, 13, and Liam, 11.

And Rachel is determined to continue working to pay her own way.

She said: "I have to work like everyone else. I have bills to pay. I come from a working class family and this is the way I was brought up. I enjoy working."
