LONDON: Rod Stewart’s ex-wife Rachel Hunter has been dumped by her toyboy sweetheart — less than two months before they were due to wed.

Ice hockey star Jarret Stoll stunned the former model by walking out without even saying the reason.

He told guests by email that the star-studded ceremony on August 14 was cancelled, but still gave no explanation.

Last night a source close to Rachel said: “She is absolutely devastated. Everything was in place for their wedding — she had the venue, the designer dress, the guest list.

“She has absolutely no idea why Jarret has done this. It sounds like it could be a classic case of cold feet. He is a fair bit younger than her.”

The Los Angeles Kings player turns 27 Wednesday while Kiwi Rachel will be 40 in September.

Rachel, who has two children with Rod, also wanted to start a new family.

Her daughter Renee, 17, and son Liam, 14, are said to be “in pieces” at the break-up — especially Liam who is a keen ice hockey player.

Canadian Jarret proposed last August.

He and Rachel bought a £2.2million home in Hermosa Beach, California, and were due to tie the knot in front of guests including Michelle Pfeiffer and Sharon Stone.

Rachel married singer Rod in 1990. They separated nine years later but their divorce was not formalised until 2006.

The pair are still friends.

Rachel told a pal: “Rod has been amazing through all of this — a real support.”

When they met Rod had just been dumped by swimsuit model Kelly Emberg, angry he wouldn’t marry her.

After the split, Rachel’s romances included a 10-month fling with Robbie Williams in 2002.

Rod, 64, wed model Penny Lancaster in 2007 and the couple have a three-year-old boy.
