Jo Wood, former wife of Rolling Stones frontman Ronnie, admits she was an 'out-of-control' mother Miss Wood, 57, said she was forced to rely on hired help to look after her children while she was high on cocaine during the early 80s. The former model and the Rolling Stones frontman had two children together, Leah and Tyrone, and also brought up the sons they each had from earlier relationships, Jamie and Jesse. Speaking on Radio 4's Women's Hour, she said: "I was an after 2 o'clock mother. Jay, the nanny would do the morning, I'd do the afternoon. "I lived a life that was, I was up until four, five every morning, go to bed about then, get up at about two," she added. I had a great nanny for years, my life was upside down for years. In the music business you stay up all night, maybe it's because of the drugs, and sleep all day. Asked how the drug-taking affected her children, Miss Wood replied: "They didn't see what was going on. They just thought they had absent parents. They were very young. Looking back I wish it hadn't happened, I wouldn't recommend it, but it just happened. We were out of control for a year and a half. I'm very lucky, I got to a point and turned round and said I can't do this anymore. I wanted to be a great mum and I knew I wasn't being so I stopped. And I think I'm really a very fortunate person that I was able to stop like that. Ronnie carried on for three more years and I think the more I saw him do it after I'd stopped the more I thought I'm never going to do that stuff again. Miss Wood, who was married to Ronnie for 26-years before their divorce in 2009, is releasing a new autobiography Hey Jo: A Rock and Roll Fairytale.
