Jesse Wood, Fearne Cotton’s ex-husband, is set to become a father for the fifth time with his girlfriend, Gemma Gregory, after revealing the exciting news in a heartfelt Instagram post. The couple, who have been together for a while, are expecting their first child together after struggling with a two-year IVF journey.
Gemma, 40, shared a glowing selfie showing off her baby bump, captioning it with “Incoming” and an adorable alien emoji. The couple’s announcement comes just over a year after Jesse and Fearne split following a 10-year marriage, and despite the emotional turmoil, Jesse and Gemma have found joy in their growing family.
But Jesse’s journey has not been without its challenges. “We’ve gone through hell and back trying to have a baby, and now there’s a real chance I might die before my son is born,” Jesse said, referring to a health scare that nearly cost him his life just a few months ago.
A New Chapter After Heartbreak
Jesse, now 49, has opened up about how life has changed dramatically since his split from Fearne, with whom he shares two children. As the son of rock legend Ronnie Wood, Jesse’s financial situation has been in the spotlight recently. In January, it was revealed that Jesse had been living on just £1,000 a month after facing severe financial issues, including debts from his business ventures.
Despite these struggles, Jesse and Gemma are focused on their future and the arrival of their “miracle baby.” The couple’s excitement for their little one’s arrival is palpable, especially after two years of IVF struggles that made the pregnancy all the more precious.
A Rocky Road to Parenthood
While Jesse has faced financial and personal challenges, including being caught speeding in January, he remains positive and determined to move forward. The $3 million mansion he once shared with Fearne has now become a distant memory, as he continues to rebuild his life alongside Gemma and their growing family.
As for Fearne, she too has moved on, having recently been spotted kissing her new boyfriend, Elliott Hegarty. Despite their past, it seems both Fearne and Jesse have found new paths to happiness.

Exciting Times Ahead
With the birth of his fifth child on the horizon, Jesse is optimistic about what the future holds. “This baby is our miracle,” he said, reflecting on the challenges he and Gemma overcame to get to this point.
The couple is looking forward to the next chapter, filled with joy, growth, and the arrival of their little one. Despite everything they’ve faced, Jesse and Gemma’s journey is a testament to love, resilience, and the power of new beginnings.
