Jo Wood, 68, is dating chef, 44 - and says age difference 'doesn't come into it'

Jo Wood reckons she’s not short of Satisfaction… dating a chef 24 years her junior.

The 68-year-old ex of Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie has been on “a number of dates” with Jameson Stocks, 44.

And she told pals: “If you have a connection, age doesn’t come into it.”

Jo’s ex-hubby Ronnie, 76, is 31 years older than his second wife Sally, 45.

Sources say romance blossomed between Jo and chef Jameson after they started chatting online.

Speaking last month, Jo said of her new man: “He’s lovely. We met at the IKON Awards and he started writing to me on Instagram. Right now we’re just enjoying hanging out.

“We’ve been to dinner a couple of times but we’re just friends.”

But in a hint of what lay ahead, she added: “If we do properly start dating, I want women to know you can be any age. It’s all right for men to do it the other way round. Who’s flying the flag for us women to do the same?”

Jo, who recently launched her new wallpaper range, was married to Ronnie for 24 years before their 2009 split.

He and Jo have children Leah, who is also 44, and Ty­­­rone, 39. Jo’s 48-year-old son from her first marriage is also called Jameson.

Jo – first seen looking cosy with chef Jameson at a polo event in May – says she has already introduced Leah to her new beau.

A spokeswoman for Jo said: “I can confirm the pair have enjoyed a few dates and remain the best of friends.”
