Ronnie Wood's Russian lover crows about winning him

London, Aug 17 : English rock guitarist Ronnie Wood's Russian mistress Katia Ivanova claims to have defeated the wrinkly rocker's wife Jo in their battle for his love.

She said that she and the 61-year- old star will set up home together after the latter leaves rehab, shattering Jo's hopes of reconciliation with Wood.

"Ronnie's moving on," News of the World quoted the waitress as saying.

"It's a fresh start. He's made the decision. He loves me and he's leaving!" she stated.

To prove his love for her, the rocker gave his young mistress a hand-drawn love token this week, proving his heart is with her and not wife Jo.

Wood is planning to rent a love nest for them both, and build a new life with her when he quits booze rehab in a few days.

He is even said to have promised to complete the cosy arrangement by buying her a pet dog.

The ageing guitar legend further told pals that he has no intention of returning to his family home in Richmond, Surrey, spelling doom for his 23-year marriage.

"A friend has been looking at properties for them to rent and they've seen one they love. It's got an 18-month lease and that's a sign of their commitment. They're even talking of buying an Afghan Hound puppy," a source close to Ivanova said.

The pair has been planning their future together in a series of secret weekend meetings at the Life Works private clinic in Woking, Surrey, over the last three weeks.
