Jo Wood details heartbreaking journey following split from Ronnie Wood
Jo Wood -who was married to Rolling Stone guitarist Ronnie Wood - has revealed she was forced to pick up the pieces and prove she could cope on her own following her split from the star After 24 years of marriage to one of the world's most renowned guitarists, Jo Wood could be forgiven for wanting to hide away from the world as she struggled to navigate life on her own, following her split with Ronnie Wood. And while it took time for her to come to terms with the new chapter of her life, Jo, 70, has now revealed that she was determined to prove she could lead a healthy and successful life without the Rolling Stone star. In a recent interview, she explained that she needed to show she was not a "victim", following her public split. Jo and Ronnie tied the knot in 1985 and called time on their nuptials in 2009. In an interview with The Times, she said: "After Ronnie I found it's important to say to myself, 'I'm not a victim, I can still enjoy a good life.' When I was really broken-hearted I totally let myself go. I didn't shave my legs, I didn't shave anything. I was just miserable." Ronnie has now re-married to Sally Humphries and the coupled wed in 2012. The pair have twin daughters together. Jo recently bumped into her ex-husband at a hotel in Barbados with Sally and their children. But it looks as though things between all parties is as amicable as can be with Jo even describing the encounter as similar to putting on "a comfy pair of old slippers." Jo has achieved great success since her split with Ronnie and has gone on to become an author, a podcast host as well as launching her own organic body care products, named Jo Wood Organics. But when writing her novel, she explained that the editor at the time wanted more emotion when mentioning Ronnie but she refused as the story was "not about Ronnie." Instead, Jo explained that she has worked hard at forgiving the rock star as it "sets you free." Ronnie and Jo share two children together Leah and Tyrone. The couple also had two step children, both from previous relationships. Jo is a mum to Jamie from her first marriage to designer Peter Greene while Ronnie had a son called Jesse from his first marriage. Despite their public split, Jo said that she could happily call Ronnie if she had to but claims that she could do the same with Keith Richards, as she "didn't do anything wrong." She told the Daily Mail: "When you have children and grandchildren, I think it's important… I like to know that I can say, 'The kids have been, you know, even though they're grown up. Have a word with them!'" The businesswoman has parted ways with her party lifestyle and now enjoys a self-sufficient experience at her countryside home. She is even set to launch a supplement called Longevity for added health benefits. But Jo's party lifestyle is never forgotten as even her grandchildren have dubbed her as "Gangster Gran." Jo lives by the rule of being honest which explains why she decided to admit to drug taking in her youth to her grandchildren. In an interview on Good Housekeeping UK's podcast, My Life In A Biscuit Tin, she explained: "I know I shouldn't say this, but I was in the car with them and they were giggling, two of them [grandchildren, Maggie and Kobe]." She added: "They went, 'Gran, have you done any drugs?' I said, 'Of course I have, but I don't recommend it'. I said, 'Because it didn't get me anywhere except lots of sleepless nights.' "You can't be dishonest, because they'll find out. So, I tried to warn them it was a waste of time, but I was in a very special situation. So then they said, "We're going to call you Gangster Gran from now on.'"
