Who is Jesse Wood, Fearne Cotton’s husband?
Jesse Wood is a British rock star who was born in Malibu, California on October 30, 1976.
He is the son of Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood and Krissy Findlay, who died in June 2015 of an accidental overdose.
Krissy died at the age of 57 and was married from 1971 to 1978 to Jesse’s father, Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones.

Reef announced earlier this year that Jesse would be leaving the band and posted a tribute to the guitarist on Facebook, captioning it: “Our good friend Jeff is leaving Reef, sad day for us but what a damn good time we had in the past 9 years.
Thank you @jessejameswood for your energy, the love, the laughter and the music. You’re a legend, keep rockin’ buddy.’
Besides performing, Jesse owns the record label Rekognition Sound and belongs to the European-based modeling agency Kult Models.
How long have Jesse Wood and Fearne Cotton been married?
Memories: Fearne Cotton said her husband Jesse Wood showed up at her house with a bottle of vodka when they first met
Jesse and Fearne have been happily married since 2014.
They tied the knot 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 said “nothing to eat.”
However, their lifestyle has changed and Jesse is now sober and the couple went vegan together in 2021.
The Rockstar also confessed to cleaning up his act to match Fearne’s level of domesticity.
Last year he admitted: ‘I’m getting better at washing dishes and doing housework. She’s one of the neatest, cleanest people I’ve met. So the bar was set very high and I have the chance to eat a lot.’
How many children do they have?
Family time: The couple have two children together and Jesse has previously praised Fearne’s parenting skills
Jesse and Fearne have two children together, and Jesse has two other children from his previous marriage, Lola and Arthur.
Lola and Arthur are 17 and 21 and are much older than his children with Fearne.
The couple welcomed their first child Rex in 2013 and had a daughter together a few years later, Honey, in 2015.
In 2022, Fearne admitted that she felt “very ill-equipped” when she became a stepmother to Jesse’s children.
Speaking on Kate Ferdinand’s Blended podcast, Fearne said, “I became a stepparent, or at least was in this family when I was 29.”
When asked what she thinks makes someone a good stepmother, she said, “I’d hate to come across someone who says, ‘I totally busted this one’ and told you how to do it.” I’m still working it out.’
“But in the end, when all four kids (Arthur, Lola, Rex, and Honey) are together and getting along, those are the best times. Immerse yourself in it. You just need to lean into the good stuff to recharge yourself,” she added.
Jesse has previously praised Fearne’s parenting skills, saying she was “an amazing mom,” and while he admitted the two had been through “ups and downs” during the pandemic, he said it was great to spend time with Fearne and their children at his home in London. .
