Ruth Langsford is said to be 'worried' about her son Jack, 23, following the stroke suffered by her ex-husband Eamonn Holmes. The GB News presenter has been recovering in hospital with new girlfriend Katie Alexander by his side after falling ill two weeks ago.
Despite their bitter divorce battle, a source close to Ruth told us she remains concerned for Eamonn’s health and how it affects their son. 'Ruth is obviously concerned. They have a son, Jack, together, so she’s understandably worried how it will affect him,' the source said. 'She doesn’t want him unwell.'
The former This Morning hosts split in May 2024 after 27 years together and 14 years of marriage. Ruth had been acting as Eamonn’s carer during his battle with debilitating health issues, including three slipped discs and a dislocated pelvis in 2021, which left him using a wheelchair.
While Eamonn’s relationship with Katie is flourishing, the source said Ruth will keep a respectful distance during his recovery, with Jack keeping her updated. 'She won’t be turning up at the hospital. I don’t think he’d want her to, either. He has a girlfriend now and they have separate lives,' the source added.
Eamonn’s eldest son Declan thanked fans for their support, saying the family values privacy. Eamonn himself posted on Instagram that his granddaughters sent a get-well message reading 'get well soom'.
