Ruth Langsford, the 64-year-old presenter of Loose Women, is reportedly taking a week-long break from the show following the announcement of her separation from husband Eamonn Holmes. A representative for the former This Morning stars confirmed their divorce, ending months of speculation.
While Langsford steps away from the spotlight, Holmes is expected to return to his GB News presenting duties on Tuesday. A source told The Sun that he will address the split on air, acknowledging the personal turmoil but focusing on work as a welcome distraction. Holmes was absent from the Breakfast show last week, with Ben Leo and Ellie Costello stepping in; a spokesperson said he was on holiday.
The couple's decision to part ways has been attributed to their careers pulling them in different directions, according to reports. Neither has publicly commented on social media, though Holmes broke his silence with a post about football.
In a recent interview with Woman's Weekly, Langsford spoke about the challenges of caregiving for Holmes, who has ongoing mobility issues. She expressed uncertainty about his recovery and noted the difficulties faced by carers across the country, adding that the family manages as best they can.
