Jo Wood: Me and Ronnie are really good mates now

Pair have put aside their differences

Jo Wood and Ronnie Wood were together for 31 years

Jo Wood doesn’t want a drawn-out divorce battle with estranged husband Ronnie.

The Rolling Stones star left the businesswoman for Russian waitress Ekaterina Ivanova in July after 23 years of marriage.

But Jo, 53, has revealed that she’s called a truce with Ronnie, 61.

‘I don’t want things to get messy,’ she tells The Sun. ‘Me and Ronnie are really good mates now. You can’t be with someone for 31 years and not stay good mates.’

Ronnie, worth a reported £75 million, now lives with Ekaterina, 20, in a north London flat.

Insiders say Jo could net half of his fortune in a settlement.
