Without her ex-husband Eamonn Holmes, Ruth Langsford is getting ready for her second Christmas. She says she enjoys keeping the “magical” “traditions alive” with her family.
Ruth Langsford says she is “very grateful” as she opens up about life after her split from Eamonn Holmes ahead of Christmas. Television stars Ruth and Eamonn announced they were splitting in May 2024 after 14 years of marriage.
The former couple has a 23-year-old son together. Ruth claims that by keeping “traditions alive,” she still enjoys making the holiday season “magical” for both her own mother Joan and Jack.
She told Woman magazine that she likes to do “stockings,” “loads of decorations” and games over the Christmas period. Although she admits she “particularly misses” her dad, Dennis, who died a decade ago after battling dementia.
Instead of dwelling on the divorce decree, Ruth insists that she is now anticipating Christmas. It’s about anticipating the future and acknowledging a new chapter and beginning. She explains, “It’s exciting.”
Since the split Ruth has continued to make regular appearances on shopping channel QVC as well as working as a panellist on Loose Women. She had previously co-hosted segments on This Morning alongside Eamonn.
She stated, “I am completely aware that I am happier than I have been in a while and have a ton of fantastic opportunities.” I appreciate it greatly.
The TV personality recently discussed a potential return to This Morning. When asked if she would host the program alongside “TV son” Rylan Clark, she responded, “If they’d ask, they’d ask, especially with Rylan,”
“I adore Rylan. Really, he’s like my son. Who knows since we have already worked together and we adore one another?
Ruth acknowledges worry that Joan, 94, might not have enough Christmases left for her. While Ruth’s daughter receives excellent care, Joan, the presenter, manages all of her personal affairs, from taking her to appointments to carrying out any necessary shopping, in a care facility close to her home.
She said, “Each year with her is a privilege because I speak a lot about my lovely mum and the battle she is going through.”
I’ll bring my family over for the big day. I always cook something that I really enjoy. I particularly miss my dad at Christmas. I value every minute I spend with her, but I’m not sure how many more Christmases she [her mother] might have.
While ex-husband Eamonn is said to be dating Katie Alexander, the TV star is currently said to be single. Additionally, Ruth recently made an offensive face-to-face face on Loose Women.
It came during a discussion about former Prime Minister David Cameron, who recently revealed he fought prostate cancer. The condition was discovered after Lord Cameron’s wife Samantha encouraged him to go and get tested.
Addressing the announcement, Loose Women panellist Myleene Klass remarked: “It is a known fact that men live longer when they’re married because they have wives, and women live longer when they aren’t married shall we say… you do the maths!”
Ruth responded, “Good to know! “she laughed about the prospect of a longer life now that she is single with the audience and her fellow presenters.”
