Fearne Cotton has reportedly been left reeling after photos of her kissing new boyfriend Elliot Hegarty hit the headlines—just weeks after announcing her split from husband Jesse Wood. The Happy Place podcast host, 43, was spotted locking lips with the Rivals TV director, 53, during a night out in London earlier this month. The sighting comes just 11 weeks after she confirmed the end of her 10-year marriage to Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood. Both Fearne and Elliot recently left long-term relationships, with Elliot splitting from his wife in December.
According to insiders, Jesse was already aware of Fearne’s new romance, but the public reveal has caused more of a stir than she expected. A source told MailOnline that Fearne was “shell-shocked” by the reaction and had hoped to keep the relationship under wraps for a little longer.
