Fearne Cotton confessed to a ‘screaming match’ with husband Jesse Wood as she revealed marriage ‘hit a rough patch’ years before split
As a seasoned observer of human relationships, it seems evident that Fearne and Jesse’s decision to part ways is a testament to their dedication towards their children and mutual respect for each other’s privacy. Their journey together, filled with love, challenges, and growth, mirrors the ebb and flow of most long-term partnerships.
Fearne Cotton has disclosed that her long-term union with Jesse Wood encountered some difficulties prior to their separation, which took place after 10 years of being married.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’m sharing some personal news that might pique your interest. After an incredible decade together, I find myself taking a new path, having amicably parted ways with my partner, Jesse Wood. This decision wasn’t made lightly, and I felt it was best to share this update with our community first, via Instagram. I appreciate the support and understanding from all my fans as we navigate through this transition.
In the days following her revelation about a health concern (specifically, finding two tumors on her jawline), she chose to express her statement through her stories.
In the statement she told fans that their priority was their children.
It’s come to light recently that the couple had encountered difficulties over a long period, with Fearne acknowledging in 2019 that their union had been struggling.
In that particular interview, Fearne stated that Jesse’s busy band commitments with Reef were causing tension in their relationship, leaving them both struggling to hold onto their marriage.

Eventually, the issues between the couple escalated into a heated argument lasting for about two hours, during which they both expressed concern that their love might have faded away.
In her Red Magazine column, the presenter openly admitted, “Love requires effort – a truth not many people enjoy acknowledging.
This year, there were some difficulties for us as Jesse was constantly on tour with his band, Reef.
I was juggling advancing my career, caring for the children, and holding onto our relationship tightly, as we both struggled to maintain it.
Following our intense argument at the neighborhood park, we both found ourselves shedding tears. However, I attribute our honesty with one another to my spouse’s tenderhearted nature, as the former Top of the Pops host.
In the heat of this big argument, I believe we both questioned where our love disappeared and fretted over whether it could return.
TopMob has contacted representatives for Fearne and Jesse for comment.
Previously, Fearne had admitted on a resurfaced podcast that the pandemic has affected their sexual relationship with her husband.
In 2021, Fearne openly acknowledged that they often found it challenging to spend quality time together. She also shared that their romantic moments, often referred to as ‘intimate times’, had become less frequent.


On Alan Carr’s Life’s A Beach podcast, she mentioned that it has been a while since any romantic encounters have taken place for her.
For my partner and I, staying at a nearby Travelodge seems quite appealing and romantic right now.
She admitted that due to their busy schedules, finding time for a private getaway as a couple was proving challenging, when asked about an ideal romantic overseas vacation.
Due to the absurd pandemic, we haven’t had any private time together, but prior to the madness, Paris was always our preferred destination.
‘It doesn’t happen every weekend, more like once a year. Yet, it always feels exceptionally special due to its stylish and attractive nature.’
‘It just has an air of something gorgeous, doesn’t it? I love it there.’
On Friday, Fearne shared the sad news with her followers on Instagram: ‘Sadly, Jesse and I have decided to part ways in our marriage.’
Our top concern, as it’s always been, is our kids. We kindly request understanding and respect for our family’s privacy during this particular period.
The pair have an eleven-year-old son named Rex and a daughter named Honey who is eight, in addition to that, Fearne plays the role of stepmother for Jesse’s older kids: Arthur, age 21, and Lola, age 18, from his previous marriage.




The news arrives merely three days following the revelation that Jesse’s band, Reef, plans to embark on a tour once more in 2025 as part of their 30-year anniversary celebration.
They’ll embark on a nationwide journey, starting from Nottingham on October 16th and concluding in London by November 8th.
After undergoing surgery to have two tumors removed from her jawline, Fearne made a surprising announcement that left many stunned – this revelation came shortly afterward.
Jesse, the son of legendary Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood and model Krissy Findlay, has not made any public comments regarding their separation as of now.
