Ruth Langsford has sent a defiant message two months after her marriage to Eamonn Holmes ended. The 64-year-old Loose Women presenter has revealed that she is still wearing her wedding ring as Eamonn is linked with counsellor, Katie Alexander, who is 22 years his junior. Ruth was seen still proudly lashing her wedding ring as she modelled her clothing range on shopping TV channel QVC on Friday. The range included her latest trench coats and the ring was clearly on show as she walked up and down to showcase the coats on her Instagram page.
This defiant showing comes after Ruth gave Eamonn a “final warning” after he moved out of their Surrey home. Bella magazine reported that the TV presenter had looked to draw a line under their relationship: “Ruth doesn’t want him to feel like he can pop back and forth when he likes to grab bits. She wants a clean slate and has even told friends she might change the locks.”
This has coincided with Eamonn taking a break from presenting the Breakfast Show on GB News, telling viewers that he was going on annual leave until “next week”. Meanwhile, Ruth recently dampened hopes of a reconciliation between the pair, hinting she could never be friends with the dad-of-four. The mum-of-one was hosting ITV’s Loose Women when the panel started discussing friendship with an ex. Ruth told singer Sinitta she was lucky she was still friends with ex-boyfriend, Simon Cowell, Ruth mused: “Not everyone can do that”.
Eamonn told Best magazine he hoped he could be friends with Ruth after their split, but conceded it was “too soon’ to tell. His comments came before it was reported Ruth found messages between her husband and another woman on a laptop. She is said to have been left “hurt” after finding out Eamonn is being consoled by Katie Alexander, 42, after the relationship counsellor struck up a friendship with the veteran broadcaster over the past couple of years.
Katie’s ex husband has since come forward to offer his sympathy for Ruth. Speaking to The Sun, he admitted he was “heartbroken” when his own marriage came to an end, adding it took him years to “recover”. He said: “She’s going through what I did after our marriage ended.” George added: “She was not swooning over him like he was George Clooney.
“But she liked being on social media and one day she said she’d had a reply from him.”
