Eamonn Holmes apparently didn't want to upset his ex-wife Ruth Langsford when rumors started to spread that he was engaged to his friend Katie Alexander. The host of GB News, 64, reached out to his former wife, also 64, to reassure her that there was no truth to the speculation. According to sources, Eamonn wanted to protect Ruth's feelings and make sure she wasn't hurt by the false rumors.
The couple had announced their split three months prior after being together for 27 years, with a source claiming that their work commitments had taken them in different directions. Since their separation, Eamonn has reportedly become close with Katie, a divorced mother-of-three who works as a relationship counsellor. The two first met on social media in 2015 and have allegedly decided to take their friendship to the next level. They have even been offered large sums of money for their first official photo as a couple.
Eamonn has rarely spoken about his split from Ruth, but he did mention it on his GB News show shortly after the announcement was made. He thanked his viewers for their support and expressed his appreciation for their kindness towards both himself and Ruth during this difficult time. Ruth, on the other hand, has yet to publicly address the split.
The famous couple had been together for nearly three decades and share a son named Jack, who was born in 2002. Eamonn has also been dealing with chronic back pain since slipping three discs in 2021 and undergoing spinal surgery the following year. He has recently been trying new therapies, such as an "anti-gravity" treadmill device, to help manage his pain and assist him with walking.
Eamonn's first marriage produced three children - Declan, Rebecca, and Niall - and his wedding to Ruth in 2010 was attended by several well-known personalities. However, after 13 years of dating, the couple ultimately decided to go their separate ways. Ruth has yet to publicly comment on the split and has taken two pre-planned leaves from her show, Loose Women, since the news broke.
