Marie Claire News: Ronnie Wood

Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood has reportedly left his wife Jo, for an 18-year old Russian bargirl.

The Sun reports today that the ageing rocker is living with the teenager, Ekaterina Ivanova, having left his wife of 23 years.

Speaking to the paper, Jo Wood expressed her worry for her husband, revealing that he had fallen off the wagon, 'He’s drinking heavily — maybe two bottles of vodka a day.'

She claimed that the unusual pair had become drinking buddies, calling the teenager, 'mad — she is a terrible alcoholic.'

The former model added that she knew the pair were staying together in Ronnie's Ireland mansion, saying, 'They have been staying in Ireland and Ronnie’s art man was with them. Ronnie told me she was staying there and I said, ‘OK — get on with it and have a drink, go mad. Drink your guts up.'

The Russian teenager has been telling friends that she is romantically involved with the rocker, and that he has now left his wife for her.

Speaking to The Sun, a family friend stated last night that the girl is merely a drinking partner, and the situation has got out of control. 'He went out and found himself a drinking partner — that is what this girl is. He knows that his family wouldn’t tolerate him behaving like this so he has run away to go and drink himself crazy.'

This is so sad. I had really hoped that he may have kicked the habit. He has a lovely wife and newly married daughter. I hope this is a really short-lived mistake.

It's disastrous! If he had a part in Star Trek, he'd be the guy in the red sweater. They say there's no fool, like an old fool - but his wife and family don't deserve this and if he wants to continue breathing he needs to kick the bottle.

Go on have fun Ronnie she looks tasty, have some wild times. The more I see of this lass the more I understand your motive. You are bigger then life. Live like a rockstar should and don't worry things have a way of sorting themselves out.
