Ruth Langsford, the host of Loose Women, has made a major decision for when the time comes for her to divorce her husband Eamonn Homes.
Ruth Langsford has told friends she won’t start dating again until her divorce from Eamonn Holmes is finalised – but is desperate for her freedom, a source tells New. The pair were married for 14 years before announcing their shock split last year.
Our source says that despite 65-year-old Eamonn moving on with Katie Alexander, who is 22 years his junior, Loose Women panellist Ruth is not ready for a new relationship and “just wants out” of her marriage.
“She’s still wearing her wedding ring because she’s coming to terms with a long relationship ending, and realising Eamonn maybe wasn’t the person she thought he was,” our source claimed. “And she’s also coming to terms with life being very, very different for her going forward.
Ruth has enjoyed a little flirtatious fun with her girlfriends and has been having fun with them. She needs her freedom and the full closure of the Eamonn chapter before she can pursue a romantic relationship.
“She really isn’t dating, it’s the last thing she wants to do,” our source continued. “She just wants to get the divorce over and done with. Her friends would love to see her happy with someone else, but she needs to get the divorce over with first before she can properly move on.”
The former This Morning power couple, who have a son, Jack, 22, released a rather blunt statement last May, which said: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing,” but didn’t elaborate on what prompted the decision.
However, a source claimed last week that Ruth, 65, was “totally horrified” when she learned that Eamonn and her husband, who were still married and live together in their London home, had been “sharing intimate chats with another woman.”
The source also told The Sun On Sunday that Ruth went on to find incriminating messages on her husband’s personal laptop. The source claimed they were “the straw that broke the camel’s back” and prompted the break-up a short time later.
Before they stepped out together at a major awards party two months later, Eamonn was spotted with relationship counselor Katie and they were seen boarding a Mediterranean cruise in September. Some thought their union was a soft start.
However, since the split, Ruth hasn’t had any romantic relationships. According to our source, it’s because she needs to start fresh off Eamonn completely.
They both expressed concern for the divorce to go smoothly and quickly because they have been dating for a while and have a lot of money to work out. Ruth simply desires a fair split and a disposing of it. She simply wants to leave.
A follower on Ruth’s social media page who had questioned why she was still wearing her wedding ring responded with a response last year.
A fan asked, “Why has she still got her wedding rings on?,” after she posted a video of herself making a green smoothie. Ruth responded, “Because I’m still married,” to which Ruth responded.
The couple, who co-hosted This Morning from 1997 until 2020, first started dating. Eamonn’s first wife Gabrielle, with whom he has three children, had already split up at that time.
Their son, Jack, was born in 2002, and they got married in June 2010, a few months after Eamonn made the proposal. Given how much history they share, Ruth recently acknowledged that she was still accepting what had happened.
She told Woman &, Home, “I’m not thrilled my marriage is over, but I’ve accepted that my marriage is over.” “I’m trying to accept that I’m single and have the freedom to make decisions about myself,” she said.
Judging by Ruth’s socials, she has certainly been making the most of her me-time. Last month, Ruth celebrated her 65th birthday with two girlfriends at a swanky all-inclusive resort on the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Ruth captioned a collection of holiday photos with her pals, including Lucy Alexander, the host of A Place In the Sun, as “sun, sea, sand, many cocktails, and laughing until we cried!” perfect . Amazing accommodations, stunning beaches, fantastic restaurants, a spa, and no children, as I love them all! “!
However, according to our source, a new man won’t be on Ruth’s horizon until the divorce papers are dry.
