Jesse Woods, the 49-year-old musician, and his girlfriend Gemma Gregory, 40, have revealed they are expecting their first child together after the couple shared the joyous news on Instagram. The announcement comes just 16 months after Jesse’s split from radio DJ Fearne Cotton, with whom he shares two children.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, Gemma proudly showed off her growing baby bump, sporting a crop top and captioning it with a cheeky “incoming.” She later shared a sweet photo alongside Jesse, jokingly captioning it “made by these muppets.” The couple is overjoyed to be welcoming their first child together.
Gemma, a Made In Chelsea star, has an 11-year-old son from a previous relationship, while Jesse has two children with Fearne and two more with his first wife, Tilly Wood.
On Tuesday, Gemma shared more personal moments, taking to Instagram to express how deeply connected she felt to her baby. Posing with her baby bump in a white vest top, Gemma spoke about the joy of the pregnancy. She also posted another relaxed photo lying on her bed in comfy pyjama bottoms with her bump on display.
A Baby Surprise Amid Financial Woes
News of the pregnancy has come as a surprise to many fans, especially after Jesse spoke out about his financial struggles in a public court appearance earlier this year. The son of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, Jesse admitted he was living on barely £1,000 a month after his divorce from Fearne and was struggling to find work.
“I was due to be employed in 2024, but it got delayed,” Jesse told the court. “At the moment, I’m living off my savings and looking to get employment.” His business, Rekognition Sound Limited, has also faced severe financial troubles, with company accounts revealing that it owes over £100,000 to creditors, and its bank balance shows just £10,943 in assets.
Despite his rock royalty background, Jesse’s finances have been rocky since his marriage breakdown. His former marital home in Richmond, purchased by Fearne for £3.15 million, is registered solely in her name, leaving Jesse without property or financial security to fall back on.
Jesse’s Life After the Split
The revelations about Jesse’s financial state come amid a dramatic chapter in his personal life. He and Fearne announced their split in December 2024 after a decade-long marriage, followed by a rapid new relationship between Fearne and television director Elliot Hegarty.
Jesse has since moved on with Gemma Gregory, with their relationship progressing quickly following the end of his marriage. In April 2025, Gemma shared a sun-drenched photo of Jesse, captioning it, “Bloody love this one,” which hinted at their blossoming romance.
Sources close to the couple have confirmed that they are happy and committed to building a life together. “Jesse’s been devastated by the split, but every cloud has a silver lining,” a close friend shared. “They’re both in a really good place now.”
Despite the ups and downs, Jesse seems to have found new happiness in Gemma, and the couple is looking forward to becoming parents together.
A New Chapter with Gemma
Gemma, daughter of actor Paul Gregory, has already started building her life with Jesse. She previously dated Henry Brett, a captain of the England polo team, but has now moved on with Jesse in what appears to be a stable and supportive relationship. Together, they have shared their pregnancy journey with their fans, and Gemma’s updates on Instagram are giving followers a glimpse of their excitement for their growing family.
Jesse, who has been linked to several high-profile women in the past, including Kate Moss and Kate Hudson, seems to have found stability and love with Gemma after years of turmoil. His previous relationships, including with Fearne, have remained in the public eye, but Jesse appears to be ready to focus on his future with Gemma and their child.
Life After the Storm
Despite the challenges he has faced, Jesse remains optimistic about the future. “We’re incredibly excited to welcome this baby,” Jesse said. “It’s a new chapter for me, and I’m looking forward to everything that comes with it.”
Gemma has shown nothing but support for Jesse throughout their journey together, and their growing family marks a new beginning for the couple. As they prepare for their first child, Jesse and Gemma are focused on creating a happy and stable future, putting the past behind them.
