Ronnie Wood's ex Katia Ivanova gets engaged to another rocker... but this time he's only a few years older
Ronnie Wood's ex-girlfriend certainly has a thing for rockers... but fortunately this time her new lover is around the same age.
Former waitress Katia Ivanova, 23, is engaged to Scottish singer David Arthur, 27, the frontman for indie band Victoria.
The couple, who started dating last year, revealed their engagement at a London party earlier this week.

Attending the launch party of photography firm Fashot in the Sketch restaurant in Mayfair last Thursday, Katia was flashing a diamond engagement ring on her left hand.
A friend of Katia's told the Sunday Mirror: 'She has completely turned her life round since Ronnie.
'She now works in a furniture store and is completely loved up with David.'
Katia, whose full name is Ekaterina Ivanova, famously started an affair with Rolling Stone Ronnie in July 2008 when he was still married to former model Jo Wood.

Stormy: Katia had a rocky 18 month romance with Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood
The pair met at the sleazy Capricorn lap-dancing club, where Katia was working as a waitress at the time.
After their 25 year marriage broken down, Ronnie - now 64 - and Katia soon moved in together and were inseparable during their stormy 18 month romance.
They split in December 2009 following a blazing row, but within weeks Katia had moved on and was dating model and club promoter Dan Turner.
However, her new romance soon ended in January 2010 when she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and shared a kiss with Swedish DJ Basshunter.
In an interview with the Daily Mail in February 2010, she admitted she made her peace with Ronnie during a conversation at her London flat.
She said: '‘He apologised for his behaviour for the first time. I forgave him and we hugged. I think he has realised the world doesn’t revolve around him.
'I don’t think he’s sexy any more but we’re both on the right path now.'
