On the domestic front, Roger was also always the most settled, and recently celebrated his ruby wedding — although that is not to say there weren’t plenty of groupies. He had a four-year marriage to model Jackie Rickman, which produced his first son Simon. They were divorced in 1968 shortly after another son, Mathias, was born as a result of an affair with model Elisabeth Aronsson.
When I married American model Heater Taylor (she was the inspiration for Jimi Hendrix’s Foxey Lady), it was with the proviso that I was allowed to stray.
‘It’s not an open marriage, but in the early days of our relationship she never put restrictions on me,’ says Roger. ‘I was in one of the biggest rock bands in the world, going out for four months at a time. At that age do you expect me to come back and say, “Oh yes darling, I was a good boy?”
‘Over years we have developed something a lot deeper than that — she is the most extraordinary woman I know.’
Despite their fame and success, Daltrey and Taylor have managed to keep their personal lives private and out of the public eye. They have rarely been seen together in public and have not commented on their relationship in interviews.
Roger Daltrey has revealed how he discovered he was the father of three children he never knew about.
On the morning of his 50th birthday, Roger Daltrey opened the post and saw a photograph of a stranger smiling back at him.
Immediately he saw the resemblance: the young woman was his daughter.
According to NME The rock icon says that he was never told of their existence after their mothers gave them up for adoption. They only contacted him after his 50th birthday and were born in the period between his divorce from first wife Jackie and marriage to his second wife Heather.
“They all came into my life after my 50th birthday,” he told The Mirror.
“It was great – it’s all worked out. They stay in touch and they’re close, so that’s great.

“I’ve tried to do my best about a situation that couldn’t change because it happened a long time ago.”
Two more women would, in time, contact him after finding the name of The Who’s frontman listed as their father on adoption papers.
Roger, now 74, had no idea they’d been born in the 1960s, sometime after the collapse of his first marriage but before he met his second wife.
Roger’s other children are, Simon, 55, with his first wife Jackie; Mathias, 50, with Swedish model Elisabeth Aronsson; and Rosie, 46, Willow, 43, and Jamie, 37, with his second wife, model Heather Taylor.
