Now who could have ever seen this coming? A 20-year-old Russian beauty hooks up with a 61-year-old rock star who has serious alcohol abuse issues and had just come off a stint in rehab. If that doesn’t sound like a match made in heaven, I don’t know what does!

Late word is that the romance has run its course, and Wood’s former lover, Ekaterina Ivanova, is now dishing up the dirt on the rock star, and probably collecting a nice chunk of change for her version of the story.

Despite the claims of “true love,” and other proclamations from the couple during their time together, it’s more likely to have been a case of a star-struck 20-year-old and a world-famous celebrity reliving that part of his past that involved bedding attractive young females.

Obviously young Ekaterina did not have the experience that’s required to deal with an alcohol-fueled rock star, unlike his ex-wife Jo, who somehow managed to stick with Wood for more than two decades.

Ivanova tells Hello! magazine that living with Wood was something her friends jokingly described as “the princess trapped in the tower.” The couple was living in a gothic Ruxley Tower at the time; something that may sound quite romantic, but apparently wasn’t the blissful existence that one might imagine under such circumstances.

“He went all Jekyl and Hyde. I’d be trapped there with an evil goblin king,” Ivanova said. Not terribly surprising to hear knowing how some alcoholics behave while under the influence. Alcohol tends to bring out the worst in some people, and if Ivanova’s tales are to be believed, Ron Wood may be one of them.

His recent arrest following allegations of domestic assault further raises those suspicions.

Ivanova will move on with her youth, good looks, a bigger bank account and a good many years ahead of her, while Wood, on the other hand, must be wondering what he was thinking when he hooked up with a 20-year-old. Is he pining for former wife Jo, as a friend of Wood recently reported?

Jo says she has happily moved on, and reports that she got over the break-up in a couple of months.  Even so, the former model is offering her ex the opportunity to spend Christmas with her and the rest of the family for a holiday celebration, although the invite comes with one condition. No drinking.

That’s a restriction that the young Ivanova was either unable or unwilling to impose.
