According to those in the know, this relationship seems to be advancing at a rapid pace, suggesting that it might be something deeper than just a temporary rebound after Jesse’s long-term marriage with television host Fearne ended unexpectedly in December of last year.

I can hardly contain my excitement! It seems like Jesse and Gemma are growing closer by the day. From what I’ve gathered, they’re practically inseparable, and their bond appears to be blossoming beautifully. A trusted confidant of theirs shared this tantalizing tidbit with TopMob.

He’s had some tough times emotionally, but Gemma has truly uplifted him. They share a special connection, have many shared interests, and she brings out his humor. He finds comfort in her presence, it’s clear their bond is deeper than a casual relationship.

Initially, the couple made their relationship known to the public in April. This was evident when Gemma shared a picture on social media that showed Jesse embracing her warmly under the sunlight. The accompanying caption read: ‘I adore this individual so much’.

The event occurred not long ago, following the release of pictures showing Fearne sharing a kiss with her newly-identified boyfriend, TV director Elliot Hegarty.

43-year-old Fearne recently spoke publicly about her separation from Jesse for the first time, describing it as ‘very cordial’ and sharing that their kids – 11-year-old Rex and 8-year-old Honey – are thriving well.

Apart from that, she was open about her health experiences, disclosing that she went through a procedure to excise two non-cancerous growths from her jaw approximately a year ago.

In public, Jesse hasn’t said much, but his stepmother, Jo Wood (former wife of his father, Ronnie Wood), has shared some insights regarding their separation.

Initially, I was taken aback. To be honest, I hadn’t anticipated Fearne getting a new partner. Moreover, Jesse felt heartbroken about it, as she shared with the Mail earlier in the year.

Occasionally, life requires us to experience such situations… I’m confident that Jesse will find joy. Things have a way of falling into place. Their chapter had come to an end – it was time for them to make a change and move forward.

Additionally, she expressed excitement about encountering Gemma, characterizing their connection at that moment as ‘very fresh’.

Gemma, with her son Benji from a past relationship, isn’t new to the limelight. In the year 1999, she portrayed the younger version of Estella in the movie adaptation of Great Expectations, and for a short while, she graced our screens in another role as well.

Made in Chelsea in 2012 thanks to her long-time friendship with Hugo Taylor.

Apart from that, she has also had romantic connections with aristocrat Nicholas Knatchbull, who is the godson of Prince Charles, as well as England’s former polo captain, Henry Brett.

In more recent times, despite her association with Chelsea and her former glamorous lifestyle, Gemma has generally stayed out of the limelight. However, according to her friends, she currently appears radiantly happy.

Currently, it seems Fearne is diving headfirst into a fresh phase of life. In a recent chat, she expressed feeling more content than ever before and is eager to prioritize enjoyment as she enters her forties.

In conversation with Scott Mills on BBC Radio 2, she expressed her joy by saying: ‘I’m absolutely thrilled… Every morning I leap out of bed, eager to embrace the day.’
