Fearne Cotton’s estranged husband Jesse Wood has officially confirmed his new relationship with Made in Chelsea alum Gemma Gregory. 

Former model and actress Gemma, 39, posted a photo of them on her Instagram stories on Tuesday looking very loved up as Jesse hugged her outside in the sunshine.

‘Bloody love this one’ Gemma captioned it with a red love heart emoji. 

The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden reported last month that Jesse, 48, son of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, was dating Gemma following the shock collapse of his ten-year marriage to TV presenter Fearne last December. 

In February, photos emerged of Fearne, 43, kissing Elliot Hegarty, a television director ten years her senior. 

Earlier this week, Fearne broke her silence on her marriage split while making an appearance on Lorraine Kelly’s ITV show.

‘It’s all very amicable and the kids are doing great. I am in a very good place,’ she said, adding she feels ‘completely recovered’ from having two tumours removed from jaw last year. 

Fearne has two children with her Jesse Wood: 11-year-old son Rex and eight-year-old daughter Honey. Jesse also has two children, Arthur, 21, and Lola, 18, from a previous marriage. 

Ronnie Wood’s ex-wife Jo Wood, who helped raise Jesse – he was nine when Jo and Ronnie got married – recently spoke out about his split from Fearne. ‘I was shocked actually. I didn’t expect Fearne to have a new boyfriend. And Jesse was devastated,’ she said. 

‘But sometimes in life, you have to go through these things. It may be daunting at first, but every cloud has a silver lining. Nothing lasts forever. I hope Fearne will be very happy.

‘I’m sure Jesse’s going to be very happy. These things work out. Their time was up – they had to move on.’ 

She added Jesse is ‘doing fine’ and she’s looking forward to meeting Gemma.

‘It’s all very new – it’s right at the very beginning.’ 

Gemma is the London-born daughter of actor Paul Gregory, and was previously romantically linked to Nicholas Knatchbull, son and heir of Earl Mountbatten.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged. 

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’ 

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina. 

‘I’m really happy and I think when you’ve had a health thing like that it does just give you this baseline gratitude where you just feel, you know I have talked to Davina a hell of a lot as our operations were within a month of each other which so weird,’ she continued.

‘We’ve had so many brilliant chats about yeah just feeling very grateful for the basics and sort of springing out of bed in the morning ready for life so yeah I’m feeling good I’ve got lots of exciting stuff happening this year so I’m ready for it!’

Fearne had the benign tumour removed just days before her split from her husband Jesse – who she shares her son Rex and daughter Honey with – emerged.

Fearne has since moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty (pictured in September), with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out

‘It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage,’ the radio host said in an online post at the time, saying their priority would ‘always be’ their children. 

Fearne is also stepmother to Jesse’s children Arthur, 21, and Lola, 18, from his first marriage to Tilly Wood.

Jesse, 48, has since moved on his former actress and model, Gemma Gregory, 39, who now works in the wellness business and hosts the Happy Place podcast.

Meanwhile, Fearne is said to have been secretly dating TV director Elliot Hegarty since January.

Their romance emerged when they were seen passionately kissing on a night out in Soho before they walked hand-in-hand while accompanied by friends.

The single mother, 51, was said to be ‘totally shocked and devastated because she only knew that Elliot and Fearne were friends’ and a friend told the Mail: ‘It was an awful way for her to find out and it has been quite ghastly for her.’

Fearne recently spoke about wanting to have a ‘burst of fun’ and ‘go and get p***ed’ following the end of her marriage.

Speaking to Women’s Health UK, Fearne made a swipe at her ex-husband as she told how she has ‘missed out on having fun’.

‘It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage,’ the radio host said in an online post at the time (Seen together in 2019)

She shared: ‘I’ve dedicated the past 12 years to being a mum and building Happy Place [the award-winning podcast and wellness festival Fearne launched in 2018] I still want to do all of that, but I’ve been missing out on just having fun.

‘Now I’m in my forties, I want more fun; to see mates, have lunches at my house and cook for everyone, go on little nights out and dinners and not care so much about getting back late.’

The couple had reportedly faced challenges for several years, with Fearne previously admitting that their marriage had been ‘suffering’ as far back as 2019.

Speaking at the time, Fearne said Jesse’s demanding schedule with his band Reef had put a strain on their relationship which left them desperately ‘clinging onto their marriage’ in an unearthed interview.

Fearne and Jesse tied the knot in July 2014 three years after they started dating. They met while partying in Ibiza the year after his split from his first wife Tilly.
