Eamonn and ex-partner Ruth Langsford became a familiar duo through their 15 years together presenting ITV’s beloved daytime show, This Morning, before deciding to leave the programme in 2021.

The couple, Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes, who shared 14 years of marriage, have announced their separation through a spokesperson, stating: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”

 

Post-separation, reports surfaced that Eamonn found solace with a blonde family friend and has continued his television duties as usual. Conversely, Ruth has stepped back from her TV roles following the split.

Addressing the unexpected news on GB News, Eamonn expressed gratitude for the public’s support, saying: “So here we are on this Tuesday morning and a lot of politics.”

“Just before we move on I would 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.”
