When your work wife is your actual wife, it makes splitting up a whole lot more complicated. If any couple knows this, it’s Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford,
who announced last month that they were getting divorced after 14 years of marriage. But while the news continues to shock the showbiz world,
Ruth, 64, seemed to be dealt a further blow last week when it was reported Eamonn, also 64, had been spending time with another woman.
The former couple were a staple on daytime TV since the noughties, co-presenting This Morning every Friday from 2006 to 2021,
and hosting shows like ITV’s Gift Wrapped in 2014 and Channel 5’s How The Other Half Lives in 2015.
Following the announcement, Ruth took an “extended break” from Loose Women while she comes to terms with the split – despite her reportedly being the one to pull the plug on the marriage.
Eamonn, on the other hand, has reportedly been spending time with a “forty-something blonde divorcée” much to Ruth’s dismay.
After the Northern Irish presenter returned to work on GB News in the wake of the split, he thanked viewers for their support. Not much is known about his new companion, but it’s been reported she is a relationship counsellor who Eamonn grew close to over the past year after he and Ruth decided to separate, having first connected on Twitter several years ago.
It was also reported he had been “spoiling her with gifts”, which apparently came as a shock to Ruth. Eamonn even endorsed a charity linked to the anonymous woman’s work and helped to host a fundraising event for free. It was also claimed Eamonn took her to see Beyoncé and to watch his favourite football team Manchester United play.
While he and the mystery woman have been getting closer, Eamonn and Ruth – who started dating in 1996, got married in 2010, and have a 22-year-old son together – reportedly decided to separate after Eamonn’s battle with chronic back pain put a huge strain on their relationship and their work took them in separate directions.
Fortunately for Ruth, it doesn’t sound like she needs to worry about Eamonn and his new companion taking things to the next level, as a week after announcing their separation, he questioned the need to get married on air on GB News. Discussing 93-year-old Rupert Murdoch’s marriage to Elena Zhukova, 67, Eamonn said, “Why, at 93, would you bother?”
It’s natural for work relationships to be complicated, but when your work wife is also your actual wife, things can get even more messy. Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford recently announced their divorce after 14 years of marriage, leaving fans and the showbiz world shocked.
Ruth, 64, took an “extended break” from Loose Women to cope with the split, even though reports suggest she was the one who initiated the separation. On the other hand, Eamonn, also 64, has been seen spending time with a “forty-something blonde divorcée,” much to Ruth’s dismay. The mystery woman is a relationship counsellor who Eamonn had grown close to over the past year, following their decision to separate.
Since their split, Eamonn returned to work on GB News and expressed his gratitude for the viewers’ support. He has been spoiling his new companion with gifts and even took her to see Beyoncé and watch Manchester United play, leaving Ruth surprised and hurt.
Despite their long history together and 22-year-old son, the couple decided to separate due to Eamonn’s chronic back pain putting strain on their relationship. Although Eamonn and his new companion seem to be getting closer, he recently questioned the idea of marriage on air at GB News, casting doubt on the future of his relationship.
