BABES of the WOOD

A rock’n’roll family tree. By Anna Clarke

-

KRISSY FINDLAY First wife

The first of Ronnie’s three marriages was to model Krissy Findlay, who counted two Beatles and a Led Zeppelin member among her partners. Krissy, who died of an accidental prescripti­on-drug overdose at 57, first met Ronnie when she was just 16, marrying the guitarist in 1971.

JESSE WOOD, 43 Son of Ronnie and Krissy

The guitarist, model and husband of BBC Radio 2 DJ Fearne Cotton first toured with The Stones aged just 12, and went on to play Glastonbur­y and Wembley himself with his band Reef. Jesse and Fearne have two children together, seven-year-old Rex and four-year-old Honey; and Jesse has Arthur, 18, and Lola, 14, from his first marriage.

LEAH WOOD, 41 Daughter of Ronnie and Jo

Environmen­talist and singer Leah evidently learnt a lot from a childhood spent on tour, briefly following in her father’s rock-star footsteps by joining the band Fever Tree and supporting the likes of David Bowie and The Corrs. She married Australian TV producer Jack Macdonald in 2008, in a star-studded ceremony attended by Mick Jagger, Tracey Emin and Kate Moss, and the couple have two children together, Ruby, 11, and Otis, seven.

TYRONE WOOD, 36 Son of Ronnie and Jo

Art enthusiast Tyrone – who co-owned the Scream art gallery in Mayfair from 2006 until 2016, along with half-brother Jamie – seems to have taken on his father’s penchant for beautiful women, having previously dated model Rosie Huntington­whiteley and singer Rita

Ora. Currently, however, Tyrone appears to be holding on to his bachelor status.

JO WOOD, 65 Second wife

The Essex-born model wed Ronnie back in 1985, before spending 23 years married to the Rolling Stone, who she describes as ‘mad as a hatter’. But the pair divorced in 2009 following his affair with 19-year-old Russian waitress Ekaterina Ivanova. Jo later found love again with Geordie businessma­n Carl Douglas.

JAMIE WOOD, 45

Son of Jo, adoptive son of Ronnie

When Jo left Jamie’s father, Peter Greene, Ronnie adopted the toddler as his own. Now an art dealer turned CBD enthusiast (he runs CBD brand Woodies), Jamie seems proud of his unconventi­onal upbringing saying, ‘Mum and Dad were both hellraiser­s.’ He and wife Jodie, a former model, have two sons, Leo and Kobe, together, and Jamie has another son, Charlie, from a former girlfriend.
