Ronnie Wood has reunited with his girlfriend after she reportedly threatened to reveal all about their relationship.
The Rolling Stones rocker has moved into a lavish £4,000-a-week castle in Surrey, England, with Ekaterina Ivanova - who threatened to kill herself following an argument last week – after deciding to give their romance another try, despite a string of furious rows between the pair.
Ekaterina, 20, is said to have warned her 62-year-old lover she would sell the story of their year-long relationship if he refused to take her back.
A source is quoted by Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "They were definitely on the rocks last week – the rows were huge. It isn't over with Ekaterina but in all honesty Ronnie doesn't know what he's doing. He's really unhappy.
"It's a bit of a fiery relationship but Ronnie is worried Ekaterina has him over a barrel. Without her, he has no one to turn to as his estranged wife Jo has made it clear she's moved on.
"Ronnie has made his bed and has to lie in it, so he's doing his best to make a go of things with Ekaterina."
Although Ekaterina is happy to be back with Ronnie, she has issued the rocker with a string of demands about their relationship, insisting he curb his drinking and urging him to press forward with his divorce.
The source added: "Ronnie is drinking heavily and Ekaterina hates that as much as Jo used to. He's told Jo that it isn't over with Ekaterina but he's agreed to put the divorce on hold until after the New Year.
"Ekaterina freaked out and that added to the problems they've been having. Ronnie and Jo haven't changed their minds about divorcing but they're not in any rush. However, Ekaterina would like it all done as quickly as possible.
Alcoholic Ronnie was married to Jo – who is currently competing in UK TV talent show 'Strictly Come Dancing' – for 23 years before he walked out on her last summer for the Russian beauty.
