Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood moves in with theatre producer 30 years his junior
Ronnie Wood, the Rolling Stones guitarist, now lives with his 34-year-old girlfriend, Sally Humphreys, while his Brazilian ex-lover, Ana Araújo, stays two doors away.
Ronnie Wood told friends after he began his love affair with Sally Humphreys, a 34-year-old theatre producer, that they would take things slowly.
The Rolling Stones guitarist’s relationship has, however, gathered speed and Humphreys has moved into his house in Holland Park, west London.
“It’s going really well,” a sober Wood tells Mandrake while sipping coffee at a fundraising dinner at Claridge’s for Marie Curie Cancer Care, hosted by Heather Kerzner. “I’m really happy in general. I’m loving work, the new show on Sky Arts is doing really well and Sally is such a lovely girl.”
After the dinner, Wood, who turns 65 next week, took to the stage for an impromptu performance of Mustang Sally in tribute to his new love.
Her decision to live with the musician will add some spice to their neighbourhood. Wood told me in February that Ana Araújo, 30, a Brazilian model, from whom he split last October, had “moved in two doors down from me”. He added, jokingly: “She’s become the neighbour from hell.”
