Rolling Stones veteran guitarist Ronnie Wood worked out his own divorce settlement instead of leaving it up to the court system to decide. This became necessary when Wood’s marriage fell apart after he was caught having an affair with 20-year-old Russian waitress Ekaterina Ivanova in July 2008.
Jo Wood, Ronnie’s wife of 23 years, has agreed to a settlement of $17.25 million, which is half of Ronnie’s fortune according to News of the World. She will also get the family mansion in Kingston Vale, England and receive a monthly allowance as well.
Jo surprised her estranged husband by signing up for the U.K. show Strictly Come Dancing – see photo below. Ronnie and Jo have two children together and each have one from a previous marriage.
The only snag in their settlement agreement hinges on their Irish mansion–the very place where Ronnie reportedly romanced and fell in love with Ekaterina….word is that Jo wants it sold!
