Fearne has had a successful career as a broadcaster and radio presenter before turning to designing, writing, cooking and hosting her podcast Happy Place.

However, Jesse himself is no stranger to the spotlight and is charting his own path as a musician.

After all, his father is none other than Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood, now 77.

Here’s everything you need to know about Jesse – from his famous family to married life with Fearne…

Who is Jesse Wood, Fearne Cotton’s husband?

Yes Wood is a British rock star, born in Malibu, California, on October 30, 1976.

He is the son of Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood and Krissy Findlay, who tragically died of an accidental overdose in June 2015 at the age of 57.

Krissy was married to Ronnie Wood from 1971 to 1978.

Following in his father’s musical footsteps, Jesse played guitar and bass for several rock bands, including RedRacer and Reef.

He also toured with his father’s band, The Ronnie Wood Band, in 2001 and 2002.

Last year, Reef announced that Jesse would be leaving the band, posting a tribute to the guitarist on Facebook, captioning it: ‘Our good friend Jeff is leaving Reef, a sad day for us but what a damn good time we are having had. during the past 9 years.

Thank you @jessejameswood for your energy, the love, the laughter and the music. You are a legend, keep rocking with camaraderie.”

In addition to making music, Jesse runs his own record label, Rekognition Sound, and has signed a contract with the European modeling agency Kult Models.

When did Fearne and Jesse break up?

Fearne announced on December 13 that she had split from her husband Jesse after ten years of marriage.

The host took to her Instagram Stories to issue the statement, telling fans that their priority is their children.

Fearne wrote: ‘It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage.

‘Our priority is and always will be our children. We ask that you please respect our family’s privacy at this time.”

Jesse has yet to speak out about their split.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Fearne and Jesse for comment.

How long have Jesse and Fearne been married?

Jesse and Fearne have been married since 2014.

They married in an intimate ceremony in London, attended by Denise van Outen, Holly Willoughby, McBusted and Keith Lemon, among others.

They started dating in 2011, the year Jesse officially divorced his first wife Tilly Wood after eight years of marriage.

According to Fearne, their first date consisted of a meal of vodka and cigarettes, and they said they “didn’t eat anything.”

However, their lifestyle has changed and Jesse is now sober and the couple went vegan together in 2021.

The Rockstar also confessed that he had changed his act to suit Fearne’s level of domesticity.

In 2022, he admitted, “I’m getting better at doing the dishes and housework. She is one of the neatest, cleanest people I have met.

‘So the bar was set very high and I had the opportunity to eat a lot of the food.’

How many children do they have?

Jesse and Fearne have two children together, and Jesse has two other children from his previous marriage, Lola and Arthur.

Lola and Arthur are 18 and 21 and much older than his children with Fearne.

The couple welcomed their first child Rex in 2013 and had a daughter together, Honey, in 2015 a few years later.

In 2022, Fearne admitted she “felt very ill-equipped” to become a stepmother to Jesse’s children.

Speaking on Kate Ferdinand’s Blended podcast, Fearne said: ‘I became a stepparent, or at least came into this family, when I was 29.’

When asked what she thinks makes a good stepmother, she said, “I would hate to ever meet someone who says, ‘I totally trashed this one,’ and tells you how to do it. I’m still working on it.’

‘But ultimately when all four kids (Arthur, Lola, Rex and Honey) are together and getting along, those are the best times. Everyone lean into it. You just have to lean into the good things to recharge yourself,” she added.

Jesse has previously praised Fearne’s parenting skills, saying she was ‘an amazing mum’, and while he admitted the two had endured ‘ups and downs’ during the pandemic, he said it was great spending time with Fearne and their children at his home in London. .
