Ronnie Wood has been visited in rehab by his wife Jo.

Jo met the Rolling Stones guitarist for the first time since his fling with a 20-year-old Russian girl yesterday (12.08.08).

The couple - married for 23 years - had an emotional reconciliation, talking and hugging at the Life Works Community centre in Old Woking, Surrey, where Ronnie is being treated for addiction to drink and drugs.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Things are slowly starting to get back on track. Jo knows the affair was based on vodka."

Ronnie, 61, ran off with waitress Ekaterina Ivanova to his Irish home for a 10-day drinking binge in July.

He eventually returned to England after his son Jesse flew out and convinced him to come home. He has since been in the rehab clinic - his sixth visit for drink problems - where Jo, 52, reportedly refused to visit him until he was sober.

Last week, it was reported Ronnie had moved Ekaterina to a nearby hotel and that she was visiting him while he underwent treatment.

He has also reportedly confessed: "I love my wife - but I have a girlfriend and I love her too."

During the early stages of his treatment, Ronnie was not allowed any contact with any of the outside world, including Ekaterina and Jo.
