The 54-year-old star, who separated from the Rolling Stones musician last year after 23 years of marriage, said that she was initially "heartbroken" to discover he was leaving her for Russian cocktail waitress Ekaterina Ivanova.
Jo told Observer Food Monthly: "I mean I was heartbroken. But truly, it didn't take me that long to... I can't say to get over it, not completely. But I did start finding my way out of it quite quickly. Two months! Ha ha!"
She continued: "I thought, 'Your family are all here and they love their mum. And you really are very lucky. So let's go, Jo'."
Jo added: "I went to this function and that, which I hadn't really done before because we never went out. And I made all these friends... Was it a liberation? Yes."
A friend of Ronnie recently revealed that the rocker would do "anything" to win Jo back.
