Ruth Langsford is reportedly open to meeting somebody new following her split from long-term husband Eamonn Holmes and “hasn’t ruled out things like dating apps”.
Through their spokesperson back in May, the couple confirmed they had called it quits after 14 years of marriage in a statement nobody saw coming.
The Loose Women star has since remained silent about their separation and has taken an extended break from her television duties,
while Eamonn has returned to his GB News show and has thanked fans for their support.
The broadcaster has also reportedly been spending time with relationship counsellor Katie Alexander, 42, who is said to have visited his place numerous times.
Following this, a source has said that friends of Ruth “have been rallying around” her “and telling her to meet someone new”.
They added to Best Magazine: “Ruth has been completely shocked by it all. She doesn’t feel ready, if truth be told, but she has been left reeling after seeing Eamonn get close to a new woman.
“She never thought in a million years there would be talk of either of them moving on after just publicly announcing their split, but her friends have said that if Eamonn is moving on with someone new, then there’s no reason why she shouldn’t as well.”
While it’s unlikely that the mother-of-one will go public with a new romance anytime soon, friends reportedly have “a long list of men” they believe would put a smile back on her face when she is ready.
“They feel she could easily have a revenge romance tomorrow if she needs to,” the source added.
“Dating feels like a terrifying other world to Ruth, but her pals have promised to hold her hand through the process once she’s ready.”
They went on to say that while she is “excited about her romantic future”, she will “tread carefully”, particularly with being in the public eye.
Representatives for Ruth and Eamonn have been contacted for comment by The Mirror.
The former This Morning presenters married back in 2010 at Elvetham Hall in Hampshire and later welcomed their only child together into the world, a son named Jack, now 22.
The GB News presenter also has three older children with his first wife Gabrielle Holmes.
According to the Mail Online, Ruth will break her silence about the split when she returns to Loose Women next week.
A source told the publication: “The presenters on Loose Women have a history of opening up about their marriage splits on air and it’s a very supportive environment.
“Ruth knows the viewers are heavily invested in her breakup so she will be addressing her and Eamonn for the first time on the show.”
The source goes onto claim that once she addresses the split, she will then draw a line under it and has no plans to speak further.
