Jesse Wood, son of music icon Ronnie Wood, disclosed that he is facing financial challenges, barely living on £1,000 post his separation from Fearne Cotton. The 49-year-old musician shared in court about his difficulties finding employment since the split a year ago, relying on his savings to get by. This revelation came as he appeared in court for speeding, where he admitted driving at 27mph in a 20mph zone in West London last April.
During the court proceedings, Jesse, who has two children with Fearne and two from a previous relationship, expressed his struggle to secure paid work, mentioning a delayed job opportunity for 2024. He took responsibility for his actions, acknowledging that this was his fourth speeding offense, with previous points on his license.
Despite the circumstances, Jesse was handed a six-month driving ban and additional penalty points, resulting in a reduced fine of £89 with additional surcharge and court costs. Moving forward, Jesse has embarked on a new relationship with Gemma Gregory, a former Made In Chelsea personality, after his divorce from Fearne in December 2024.
On the other hand, Fearne has also found love with Elliot Hegarty, a 53-year-old Rivals director, following her split from Jesse. She announced the end of their 10-year marriage on social media, emphasizing the importance of their children and requesting privacy during this time.
