Leah Wood not regretting move to Australia

March 10 2010 by Liam Clifford

After her parents’ painful and public divorce, Leah Wood, the daughter of Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood, decided to up sticks and start a new life living in Australia.

Wood moved to Australia at the end of January with her husband, a TV producer, and their nine-month old daughter Maggie and says she is “not missing anyone.”

The decision to move was sparked by the news that her father was leaving her mother, Jo Wood, for a woman 40 years younger than himself. Leah explained that by the end of 2009, it had all become too much for her, "by the end of last year, I was like "I have to get out. I want a new life. A fresh start. Let's just go to Australia".

Leah, who is now living in Sydney, says she is enjoying the “pure” lifestyle that comes with living in Australia. “I'm not missing anyone, and I know that sounds horrible but I'm just enjoying being away. My husband is Australian and I love the lifestyle and the pureness of this city. It's really easy to be organic here. I want the best for my little Maggie.”
