Fearne Cotton has ditched her wedding ring as she was spotted out and about following her sad announcement of her marriage breakdown. The 43-year-old took to social media on Friday to share the sad news that she and Jesse Wood were separating after 10 years of marriage. The couple share two children: 11-year-old son Rex and eight-year-old daughter Honey while Fearne is also a stepmum to Jesse's older kids from a previous relationship: Arthur, 21, and Lola, 8.
They appeared to be the idyllic blended family, with the TV presenter still wearing her wedding ring in photographs uploaded to social media only days ago. And while the split appeared to have blindsided not just fans but also those who knew the pair, the Happy Place podcaster hinted at signs there was trouble in paradise even years earlier.
Taking to her Instagram stories, the radio star told her 3.9 million followers: "It is with a heavy heart that | let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage. Our priority has been, and will always be, our children. We please ask that you respect the privacy of our family at this time.".
Celebrity Juice star Fearne had been married to Jesse, 48, since 2014. Both had even posted to mark their 10th wedding anniversary in July, sharing a sweet snap showing them back in their wedding attire, holding hands in their beautiful garden. They met while partying in Ibiza in 2011 - when Fearne, aged 30, was on a girls' trip following her split with ex Peter Brame - with the couple sharing their first date on the island, which Fearne later revealed consisted of 'drinking vodka and smoking cigarettes'.
