LONDON, July 18 (UPI) -- The Russian waitress whom Ronnie Wood was seeing before he entered rehab this week says she loves the married British rock musician.

Woods, the 61-year-old guitarist for the Rolling Stones, is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict.

He is said to have spent more than a week in Ireland drinking with 20-year-old Ekaterina Ivanova before he returned to England and checked himself into rehab.

"I love him and I am standing by him," Ivanova told The Daily Telegraph. "I will never betray him. I need to speak to Ronnie. My life has been turned upside down by all this, my mum's health has suffered and I just want all of this to go away."

The Telegraph said Wood returned to England after Jo, his wife of 23 years, told him to get home or she was done with him. Sources also said she ordered him to sell the house in Ireland where he and Ivanova were staying.

Ivanova's mother, Irina, said media outlets are clamoring to pay Ekaterina up to $500,000 to sit down for an interview about her relationship with Wood.

"We have been offered money. We could use money for Ekaterina's future," she told The Telegraph.
