Eamonn Holmes once humorously said that he’d be “a happy man” if his wife Ruth Langsford loved him the way she loved their rescue dog, Maggie. The former couple left fans stunned last month when they revealed they were divorcing after 14 years of wedded bliss.
Throughout their lengthy relationship, the duo frequently discussed their bond, which took a new turn 14 years ago when they adopted their beloved pooch from Dogs Trust.
In a joint interview in 2021, Eamonn and Ruth discussed their shared deep affection for their “adorable” Maggie and how she provided comfort during challenging periods.
“She’s just adorable,” Ruth gushed to The Telegraph at the time. “We adore her. After a long, hard day, coming home to her is the best. When she sees me or Eamonn, her tail starts wagging, then she runs off to fetch a toy from her basket to give us.
“It’s the most heartwarming thing. All your worries, frustrations, and anger just melt away.”
During the conversation, Eamonn echoed Ruth’s sentiments about their mutual love for Maggie, but cryptically added: “If my wife loved me the way my dog loves me, I’d be a very happy man,” reports the Express.
Since adopting Maggie, the pair have kept fans entertained with regular updates on social media.
Following their separation, it seems Ruth has taken over caring for Maggie, as indicated by her Instagram posts.
The telly favourite has been sharing glimpses of her countryside strolls with their beloved Collie cross on Instagram, with Eamonn nowhere to be seen.
A source spilled to The Sun that Eamonn’s health struggles might hinder his ability to look after Maggie, saying: “Maggie is like a daughter to them. They dote on her. But she’s getting on and they know she needs stability.
“It’s a case of who can give her that. Eamonn adores her and Maggie’s been such a support during his health woes.
“The thought of giving her up is heartbreaking to him. But if Ruth is able to get out and about and walk her more, then it may well be that she gets Maggie in the split.”
The duo, who tied the knot in 2010, and are parents to their 22-year-old son Jack, while Eamonn also has three other children from his previous marriage, along with two grandkids.
After the news of their separation hit the headlines, Eamonn expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of support on his GB News programme, stating: “Just before we move on we’d just like to thank people for your support for Ruth and I over the last few days as to the news of our separation. Your support for both of us is very much appreciated.”
Ruth has not yet publicly commented on their split and is currently on an extended break from Loose Women.
