Jo Wood Still Friends With Rolling Stone Ronnie

She said: `I`ve put all Ronnie`s things into boxes in one room and the rest of it is now `Jo`s House`.

Ronnie Wood's wife says she is still friends with the Rolling Stones rocker.

Jo Wood - who was married to Ronnie for 23 years before he left her for 20-year-old Russian waitress Ekaterina Ivanova last year - insists the couple are still close despite his betrayal.

The 53-year-old former model said: "I don't want things to get messy. Me and Ronnie are really good mates now. You can't be with someone for 31 years and not stay friends."

Jo recently revealed she had packed away all of the musician's "annoying" belongings and started to redecorate their marital home in London.

She said: "I've put all Ronnie's things into boxes in one room and the rest of it is now 'Jo's House'. 

"I've taken down all these annoying things Ronnie used to stick on the walls. I'm putting up wallpaper and doing all the things I always wanted to do with it. I'm much happier."

The 61-year-old musician is currently living with Ekaterina in a rented North London property.
