Jo Wood: Affairs cured marriage heartache

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Ronnie Wood’s ex-wife Jo has revealed that she has had two romantic flings since the ageing rocker left her after 23 years of marriage.

Jo, 54, was ditched by the 62-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist 18 months ago for Russian waitress Katia Ivanova, who was 19 at the time.

Talking about how she got over the marriage breakdown, Jo said: “A girlfriend said to me that one of the ways to get over someone is to do it with someone else. So I did – twice.”

Asked if it had worked, she said: “You bet it did. But my flings didn’t last very long. I realised it was too soon for me to settle into a relationship.

“I needed to have time alone.”

It’s never too late to get help so no one should lose hope – unless the one you’re concerned for is Amy Winehouse. Anyway, Rolling Stones guitar man Ronnie Wood has reportedly entered rehab for a drinking problem. His publicist said “Following Ronnie’s continued battle with alcohol he has entered a period of rehab. His close family and friends say he is seeking help and look forward to his recovery.” The rocker has had a history of substance abuse and was even persuaded by his wife and Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger to enter rehab before the band’s 2002 tour. This most recent trip may be due to British media reports saying that Wood’s marriage is on the rocks because he’s run off with an 18-year old Russian waitress.
