Ronnie Wood splits with young Brazilian girlfriend Ana Araujo

The Rolling Stones rocker couldn't keep up with the 32-year-old party girl

Ana Araujo and Ronnie Wood are no longer an item

Ronnie Wood has announced that his 2-year relationship with Ana Araujo is on hold.

Rolling Stone Ronnie, 64 - who is more than 30 years older than Ana - says: ‘I'm taking a sabbatical from her.'

Friends have suggested that the rocker simply didn't have the stamina to keep up with his young lover, who adores the limelight.

‘Ronnie's desperate to remain sober and he found it a real ordeal being dragged along to all these parties with free booze on tap,' says one mate.

‘Ana loves going out, but she forgets Ronnie's been partying for 40 years and is happier staying in these days.'

Married to second wife Jo for over 20 years, the musician had an 18-month relationship with Russian cocktail waitress Ekaterina 'Katia' Ivanova, falling for Ana, 32, after they broke up.

‘Ana was happy going to everything she could,' the insider tells the Daily Star, 'Ronnie is very fond of her...but feels enough is enough.'
