Fearne Cotton Moves On with Director Elliot Hegarty

Fearne Cotton has found new love with TV director Elliot Hegarty following her separation from husband Jesse Wood 11 weeks ago. The 43-year-old radio and TV star was seen kissing Hegarty, 53, during a night out, with reports suggesting they have been quietly dating since January. Elliot, a BAFTA-nominated director known for his work on series like 'Ted Lasso' and 'Rivals', ended his own marriage around the same time. Friends of Cotton have noted she seems much happier and has started introducing Hegarty to her circle. The split from Jesse, son of Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood, was publicly announced in December after a decade of marriage. Despite the difficulties post-separation, Fearne is reportedly optimistic about her future and continues to focus on her children, Rex and Honey, while maintaining her successful 'Happy Place' podcast.
