Ronnie Woods and girlfriend have split

Rolling Stone guitarist, Ronne Wood, has proved the world right after his 12 month controversial romance with a 20-year-old Russian waitress has crashed and burned. The tabloids reported that the mismatched pair had had a blazing row earlier this week which was so severe, the police had to be called in.

Now the 62-year-old ageing rocker has sent his personal bodyguard around to the home he shared with his young girlfriend, Ekaterina Ivanova who is 42 year his junior, to collect his belongings. The burly security man was spotted helping to load guitars, artwork and furniture into a waiting removals truck, Ronnie however, was nowhere to be seen.

Wood’s affair with the young cocktail waitress, who he met in a bar in Soho last year, caused the end of his marriage to Jo Wood to whom he’d been with for over 20 years. As details emerge about the nature of the unlikely couple’s split, it seems that his estranged wife was unwittingly, at the centre of it.

It has been reported that Ronnie was keen for reconciliation with his wife and was pushing to have a reunion dinner with her and their children. His attempt at bridge building with his estranged wife wound 20-year-old Ekaterina up no end and was at the root of their argument.

Another incident which is said to have riled the Russian was Wood’s decision to use his daughter, Leah, to model his new clothing range and not his girlfriend. It is claimed Ekaterina did not take kindly to being overlooked.

Sources close to Ronnie’s ex Jo, who is about to appear in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing, say she is “still in love with Ronnie” but the possibility of a reconciliation is very slim at the moment as she feels totally betrayed after the whole affair.
