Rock royalty washing dishes and household chores isn’t exactly what Jesse Wood takes to naturally.
However, as he’s married the domestic goddess Fearne Cotton, he’s gaining knowledge and stating: “I’m getting better”.
Jesse aged 45. Rolling Stones musician Ronnie’s youngest child, whose band Reef will be playing in Glasgow tonight to perform QMU and celebrates his 8th anniversary of marriage along with Fearne on July.
The couple has two kids and he has two more children.
Fearne is best known for her work as the Radio 1 DJ and party girl she is now a supermum thanks to cooking and self-help guides along with homeware and kitchenware collections as well as The Happy Place podcast.
Jesse told me: “I’m getting better doing dishes and housework. She’s among the cleanest and most clean people I’ve come across. This means that the bar was high, and I’ll have the chance to taste lots of food.
“She’s an incredible mother. She’s a fantastic human being. I’m blessed to be a man.”
Although he admitted that there are “ups as well as downs” regarding Covid and the numerous locks, he was incredible to spend time with his London residence along with Fearne as well as their child Honey 6 years old. Although he was birthed to California to Ronnie’s former wife Krissy Findlay. Jesse has an accent that resembles a London accent that doesn’t hide the fact that he is Scottish blood.
His mother, who died in 2005 of an accidental overdose, is from Scotland. Scots roots.
He added: “If I was a footballer, I’d definitely think about being a player for Scotland.”
His oldest child, Lola who is 16, who’s mother is his first wife Tilly is able to go one better as Lola was born in Edinburgh.
Jesse is also a father of one son, Arthur 20, who is with Tilly and Tilly, told the BBC: “I was up in Edinburgh during the time of Lola’s birth, playing at The Festival in the band Wills & The Willing and we were in Edinburgh for approximately one month. My child Lola had her birth a longer than we had planned!
“I am looking forward to bringing her to the area as she hasn’t had much time in the area. It would be wonderful to have with us just with us.”
Jesse has many fond memories of Scotland. His mother was with Brian Robertson, 66, from East Renfrewshire, who was in Thin Lizzy and Motorhead in the 1980s. Jesse told me: “We popped up to Scotland often. I was even to tour in the band Motorhead in the early days of my being a kid at around six or eight.
“In London during a rehearsal I didzed in the front of speakers.
“They all were bored and they said”Has he slept?’ I’m not sure but my mom would tell me stories about it.
“She and Lemmy are not with us unfortunately.”
We think about Stones drummer Charlie Watts’ passing last year. Jesse added: “That was very sad.
“I did not always see him, But when I was there, I were in love with each other.
“He was so stylish and if he walked right up to you and said”Hey, I love the clothes you’re wearing’, you’d be saying ‘Aww it’s so sweet! ***’.
“He seemed interested in my work as well as drummers. It was a huge loss for him.”
Jesse who also has worked as model, including on Liam Gallagher’s Pretty Green label, has music in his blood. He’s performed in a range different bands including the sister Leah’s. He joined 90s pop group Reef in 2014, when Kenwyne House, their guitarist, quit the group.
It was similar to his dad Ronnie’s transition to the Stones in 1974. However, Ronnie was 74 and did not give his son any tips about how to play the music becoming a part of a well-established group.
“None at all,” Jesse said. “That’s the advice itself. He’s always been this way with me. I’ve had the opportunity to have him play with me on one of his versions of Faces along with his personal solo music and he’s taught me , without needing to teach me how to feel or understand guitars.
