FEARNE Cotton’s ex-husband Jesse Wood is expecting his fifth baby.
The 49-year-old is about to become a dad again with his Made in Chelsea star girlfriend, Gemma Gregory, 40.
Jesse split from TV star wife Fearne 16 months ago but has already moved on with former reality star Gemma.
She looked ready to pop as she shared a selfie of her blossoming baby bump whilst donning a crop top on Instagram.
Gemma captioned the snap “incoming” before sharing another loved-up snap of her and Jesse with the caption: “Made by these muppets”.
News of Jesse’s fifth child may come as a surprise given he only split from Fearne just over a year ago.
He had two children with Fearne and a further two with his first wife, Tilly Wood.
Jesse was married to Fearne for 10 years and dated for a further three years before saying their vows.
Gemma is already mum to an 11-year-old son from a previous partnership.
The baby announcement comes mere months after Jesse was forced to admit he was in a dire financial situation during a court appearance in January.
He revealed he was currently seeking employment and had been forced to live off his savings in the meantime.
Jesse was summoned to court on a speeding charge having already racked up nine penalty points on his licence.
After being caught speeding on the A4 in West London, Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones band member Ronnie Wood, told magistrates: “I was due to be employed in 2024 but it got delayed.
“At the moment I’m living off my savings and I am looking to get employment.”
It laid bare how he was living off little over £1,000 a month when his annual income was revealed to be £14,000 – lower than the average minimum wage salary for a full-time person in employment.
Jesse also had no property to fall back on amid his financial plight.
The home he shared with wife Fearne in the very upmarket Richmond, South West London, is registered solely in her name and he therefore has no legal claim to the house.
Fearne paid £3.15million for the stunning mansion in 2014 with Jesse not listed on the deeds.
His father, Ronnie, worth an estimated £100million, also owns a £3million home in the area.
Jesse has worked as a performing guitarist in many bands throughout his career as well as working with companies connected to the music industry but they have struggled to earn him a living.
In October last year, he stood down from Reef Band LLC – a company connected to payments for live performance services when it was revealed to be £710 in the red.
Another company, Rekognition Sound Limited, owned solely by Jesse was also revealed to have much more serious debts.
As of accounts filed in November 2024, the company is £101,562 in the red.
It had just £10,943 in its bank accounts while owing £111,903 to creditors.
His financial situation came to light when he was ordered to pay a £255 fine and accept a six-month driving ban as a result of the speeding charge.
He was caught doing 27mph in a 20mph zone.
Jesse is father to two adult children with first wife Tilly and two more children – Rex, 12 and Honey, nine – with former wife Fearne.
Gemma is mum to an 11-year-old boy.
Fearne moved on with new partner Elliott Hegarty last year.
