After ten years of marriage, beloved British presenter Fearne Cotton and musician Jesse Wood â son of Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood â have officially gone their separate ways. Their split, confirmed in late 2024, marked the end of one of the entertainment worldâs most admired love stories.
But as both move forward, their lives have taken deeply personal â and emotional â turns.

 Fearneâs Private Health Battle and Emotional Confession
In December 2024, Fearne revealed that she had undergone surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawâs parotid gland. âItâs been a scary few months,â she admitted, âbut Iâm grateful they caught it early. Iâm healing and feeling thankful.â
Following the operation, the Happy Place host opened up about struggling with insomnia and emotional exhaustion, describing her mind as âa bit wobblyâ as she processed both her recovery and her separation.
Sources close to Fearne say sheâs been focusing on her health, her children, and her work as a mental health advocate. âFearne has always been honest about anxiety and burnout,â one insider said. âSheâs taking time to heal â physically and emotionally.â
Despite the challenges, Fearne insists thereâs no bitterness between her and Jesse. In a recent interview, she said:
âWeâve both been through a lot, but weâre still friends. Weâve always wanted whatâs best for our kids â that will never change.â
 Jesse Finds New Love After the Split
While Fearne has chosen privacy and reflection, Jesse Wood has quietly stepped into a new relationship. The 47-year-old guitarist is now dating Gemma Gregory, known to viewers from Made in Chelsea.
The couple recently went public on Instagram, sharing photos together at a London music event â marking Jesseâs first appearance with a new partner since the divorce.
âJesse looks happy again,â a friend told The Sun. âHe and Fearne remain on good terms, but heâs moved on and found someone who makes him smile.â
 From Glamour to Growth
Once seen as one of Britainâs most stylish power couples, Fearne and Jesseâs journey has evolved from red carpets to self-reflection.
Fearne has since spoken candidly about aging in the entertainment industry, saying that fame feels âdifferentâ as she grows older:
âI donât chase the same things anymore. I care about purpose â not popularity.â
Meanwhile, Jesse continues his work in music, performing at charity gigs and small festivals â often dedicating songs to his fatherâs legendary influence.
 A Respectful Goodbye
The couple, who share two children, are said to be co-parenting peacefully, focusing on family stability and emotional health. Friends describe their split as âsad but deeply respectful.â
âThey may no longer be together,â one insider said, âbut thereâs still warmth, respect, and gratitude for the life they shared.â
 A New Beginning
As Fearne Cotton reclaims her health and emotional balance â and Jesse Wood embarks on a new romance â both seem to be stepping into the next chapter of their lives with grace.
Sometimes, love stories donât end in heartbreak.
They simply evolve â into healing, friendship, and the quiet courage to begin again.Â
