Fearne Cotton Renames Herself After Jesse Wood Split

Fearne Cotton has ditched her husband Jesse Wood's surname after splitting following 10 years of marriage. 

The presenter, 44, has changed the name she uses as a director of We Are Happy Place, the private firm into which she pays her pounds earned as a Radio 2 presenter and podcast host. 

She has now changed her name from 'Mrs Fearne Wood' back to 'Ms ' after her ex husband

Two of Jesse's four previous children son Rex, 12, and daughter Honey, nine, were with Fearne, whom he split with in December 2024.

The author's representatives declined to say whether her divorce has been finalised from Jesse when contacted by Daily Mail. 

It comes after Fearne admitted she is 'dealing with certain stressful things' as she opened up in her latest Instagram on Wednesday.

It has been a tumultuous time for Fearne after she split from her husband Jesse Wood 18 months ago.

As Jesse prepares to welcome his fifth child with his new girlfriend Gemma, Fearne confessed she is going through a stressful time at the moment.

Sharing a heartwarming story about how a stranger wrote her and her daughter a poem after seeing them out together in London, she began: 'So something really lovely happened today that was a good reminder for me that there are good eggs out there and lovely things can happen if you are open to them.

'So, like many of you, I'm racing through my week, I'm juggling all sorts, I'm also dealing with certain stressful things I'm trying to grow and learn through rather than drowning.'

Fearne then explained how she was out in a coffee shop with her daughter when an elderly man came over and complimented her daughter's red hair.

He then wrote the pair of them a poem. Fearne explained: 'He handed us this beautiful poem that was so magical and sort of wished us prayers and happiness, and to always have a smile on our faces.

'It was so lovely, and he handed over the poem, and he said, "Should we jump for joy?" And we all jumped on the spot.

'And then me and my daughter had sort of cracked up laughing, thanked Dennis profusely, and left. And we just had a huge grin on our faces.

'It's a good reminder, there are great people out there.'

Fearne didn't explicitly reveal what the stressful circumstances were.

However last month Jesse's new girlfriend Gemma took to Instagram as she gushed that she and Jesse were settling into their 'new casa' as she showed off her bump in a series of bikini-clad snaps.
