The sudden end of their marriage comes just days after Fearne revealed she had found two tumors on her jaw.
Commenting on their surprise split tonight, Fearne said: “It is with a heavy heart that I am letting you know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage.
“Our priority was and always will be our children.
“We ask that you respect our family’s privacy at this time.”
Fearne and Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood’s 47-year-old son Jesse tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in London in 2014.
Their romance started three years ago, in 2011.
A year before they married, the couple had their first child, a son named Rex Rayne Wood.
Their daughter Honey Krissy Wood was born after the wedding in September 2015.
The split comes amid Fearne’s recent health problems after she was diagnosed with two tumors in her jaw.
The TV presenter said she had been told the “growing” masses were benign – and thanked stage pal Davina McCall for her support.

Fearne said Davina, who herself had brain tumor surgery last month, had been a huge source of support following the shocking news.
In a video posted on the star’s social media, Fearne showed where the tumors were – and said she would be taking a break from social media after the operation.
In the caption, she wrote: “Hey guys, I’ll be out for a while due to surgery.
“Recently I felt a lump under my ear on my jaw line, but this year I noticed it growing.
“It turned out to be a benign tumor and another small one above it on the salivary gland.
“I feel positive about everything and will take the opportunity to rest and slow down.”
In a heartfelt plea to her followers, she urged people to take any worrisome growths to their doctor for a check-up, saying: “If you feel a lump or a lump or feel like something is off, always get checked out.
“I’m so glad I did because the longer you leave these things the more complicated things get.”

RELATIONSHIP PAST
Before Fearne and Jesse fell in love, Jesse was married to his first wife, Tilly Wood.
Jesse and Tilly were together for eight years and welcomed two children together.
The former couple welcomed Arthur, 21, and Lola, 18, during their union.
For Fearne, she found love with another Jesse before her husband – Jesse Jenkins.
Skateboarder Jesse Jenkins linked up with Fearne in November 2008, and the couple eventually got engaged in September 2010.
However, it was not meant to be for the couple as they ended up calling it quits in April 2011 just months before Fearne met her future husband.
