Taking a daily stroll near his rehab clinic, Ronnie Wood still appears to be somewhat torn between his youthful Russian girlfriend and wife of 23 years.
Because despite claims from his 19-year-old lover Ekaterina Ivanova that he is soon to move in with her, the Rolling Stone guitarist has been pictured sporting the wedding ring given to him by 53-year-old Jo.
The 61-year-old rocker is said to be in a constant state of indecision about which woman holds the key to his heart.

Jo, who has been left devastated after Ronnie ran off with Eka in June, has refused to visit him at the Life Works clinic, in Surrey, where he is battling drink and drug addiction.
But cocktail waitress Eka has been spotted visiting the veteran musician at the centre.

She told the News of the World how she had snared her older lover, claiming he is on the cusp of quitting his treatment to move in with her.
'Ronnie’s moving on,’ she insisted. ‘It’s a fresh start. He’s made the decision. He loves me and he’s leaving.
‘Ronnie loves me – it’s not about money. It’s sad we’ve caused people pain. It’s hurt his family and my family too, but we’ve just fallen in love.
'I never pursued him,' she added. 'Everyone said he was only in love with me because of the drinking. But there’s a very strong connection between us.’
But other reports suggest the teenager is wide of the mark, with friends close to Jo saying Ronnie is not giving up on the marriage.
Jo was pictured on Sunday with their daughter Leah, 29, enjoying a drink or two at the V Festival in Hylands Park, Essex.
Meanwhile Ronnie remained at the clinic where he has now spent three weeks as part of a six-week treatment programme.
Each day involves an exhaustive 16-hour regime, including yoga as well as a constant barrage of therapy classes and counselling sessions.

The clinic boasts an 85 per cent success rate in curing alcoholics thanks to its strict programme, which even bans patients from having caffeine and sugar.
The star is shelling out £600 a day and has been assigned three carers who look after him and are on call 24 hours a day.
