Fearne Cotton’s estranged husband Jesse Wood has confirmed his new relationship just a few months after their split.

In December broadcaster and author Fearne, 38, and musician Jesse, 48, announced they were splitting after more than a decade together.

The pair, who were married in 2014, also share two children – son Rex, 11, and daughter Honey, 8.

Earlier this month it was revealed Fearne had moved on when she was spotted kissing TV director Elliot Hegarty, whose estranged wife was reportedly blindsided by their romance.

Now Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood, has found love.

A few weeks ago, it was first reported he was dating Gemma Gregory, 39, a former actress who is best known for her parts in Popcorn, Gypsy Girl and the BBC television adaptation of Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations.

Gemma also played the young Estella in the 1999 adaptation alongside Ioan Gruffold and Charlotte Rampling but has since started her own fashion brand, Recovered by GG.

She’s now hard-launched him on social media, sharing a photo of them.

Posting on her Instagram stories, Gemma’s photo saw her and Jesse hugging outside in the sunshine.

‘Bloody love this one,’ she wrote alongside a red love heart emoji.

A source had previously told the Mail Online the pair ‘seem very happy and in love’.

‘They have been together some time, and people around them know about their relationship,’ they said.

‘Gemma is a lovely woman who has been through some difficult times over the years. She deserves some happiness.’

The daughter of actor Paul Gregory, Gemma was previously romantically linked to Nicholas Knatchbull, son and heir of Earl Mountbatten while she dated Henry Brett, a captain of the England polo team.

A close childhood friend of Hugo Taylor, she also appeared with him on Made in Chelsea in 2012.

She also has a son, Benji, who was born in 2014.

Meanwhile Jesse also has two older children from a previous marriage before Fearne – Arthur, 21, and Lola, 18.

He and Fearne were introduced by a mutual friend in Ibiza in 2011, around a year after he split from his first wife.

Earlier this week, Fearne spoke publicly for the first time about her marriage breakdown.

Appearing on Lorraine on Monday she said things were ‘very amicable and the kids are doing great’.
