In her first public comments since the announcement of their separation, Ruth Langsford has broken her silence to offer a public show of support for her estranged husband, Eamonn Holmes.
The This Morning presenter took to social media to wish the broadcaster well as he continues to grapple with chronic pain and mobility issues, proving that while their romantic relationship has ended, their bond remains.
A United Front for Family
Langsford's message was a simple yet powerful public gesture. She quote-tweeted a video of Holmes discussing his ongoing health battle on his GB News show, adding the caption: "Thank you for your kind words for Eamonn… he is doing his best to keep positive."
The move is widely seen as a clear signal that the former couple, who were married for 14 years, are determined to maintain a dignified and amicable relationship for the sake of their 22-year-old son, Jack.
Navigating Health and Heartbreak
The separation news comes during an incredibly challenging period for Eamonn Holmes. The veteran broadcaster has been open about his severe back pain and recent surgery, which has left him using a wheelchair and requiring a great deal of support at home.
Despite their personal split, Langsford has been a constant presence, helping to care for him. A source close to the pair stated, "Ruth has been supporting Eamonn through his health troubles. She's been helping him out and they're still friends."
Looking Ahead
While the couple will continue to co-parent their son and their beloved dog, Maggie, the future of their on-screen partnership remains uncertain. For over a decade, they were one of ITV's most beloved presenting duos, famously hosting Friday editions of This Morning together.
Their split marks the end of an era for one of showbiz's most enduring partnerships, but Ruth's recent message confirms that mutual respect and family will always come first.
