Wood's russian fling: 'I love him'
18 July 2008
LATEST: The Russian woman accused of having an affair with ROLLING STONE star RONNIE WOOD has vowed never to leave the rocker after declaring she "loves" him.
Wood was rumoured to have left his wife, Jo, for Muscovite Ekaterina Ivanova, reportedly whisking the 20-year-old away on a romantic trip to Ireland last week (beg07Jul08).
News of the alleged affair hit headlines across the world - subsequently forcing the musician back to England on Wednesday (16Jul08) and into rehab to tackle his drinking problem.
And now the cocktail waitress has come forward to announce her plans to continue their alleged relationship when he leaves treatment.
She tells British newspaper The Sun, "I will never betray him. As long as there is a chance of happiness for me and Ronnie I have nothing to say. I need to speak to Ronnie.
"I love him and I'm standing by him."
