Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, 65, and new wife Sally Humphreys, 34. In celebrity circles their age gap may not raise eyebrows, but it seems ordinary folk are choosing substance over the material when it comes to their unions

At 36, Sally Humphreys, the third Mrs Ronnie Wood, is three decades her husband's junior, but she wants the Rolling Stone's baby and says he is "up for it".

A theatre producer with her own production company, she first met Wood more than a decade ago, when she was working at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

"He was hanging his art work there," she said, referring to her guitarist husband's lucrative second career - his paintings sell for as much as £300000 (more than R5.4-million).

Wood, 67, has eight grandchildren, technically making Humphreys a grandmother.

Said Humphreys: "One of them did say to me, 'What shall we call you?' and I just said 'Call me Auntie Sally!'"

The big question is does she want her own kids?

"Um, yeah," she said.

"A baby would be nice.

"Obviously we've spoken about it quite a lot, and you can ask [Ronnie] and his response would be, 'Well, that would be nice.' He's up for it."
