Television presenter Ruth Langsford has announced the imminent release of a deeply personal memoir, in which she promises to detail the turbulent journey of her life and high-profile separation from her former co-host and husband, Eamonn Holmes.
A Candid Look at Life and Love
The 65-year-old star took to Instagram to share her excitement and nerves about publishing her first book, titled 'Ruth Langsford Feeling Fabulous.' The memoir is scheduled for release on 26th February 2026 and is available for pre-order, including a limited number of signed copies.
In her social media post, Langsford wrote that the book contains stories about her life, encompassing "the ups and the downs, the good and the not so good." She emphasised that these experiences, and the lessons learned from them, have fundamentally shaped the woman she is today.
Navigating Life After a 27-Year Relationship
The publication comes in the wake of her split from Eamonn Holmes, 66. The couple, who were together for 27 years and married for 14, announced their separation in June 2024. Holmes has since moved on with relationship counsellor Katie Alexander, who is 22 years his junior.
Since the breakup, both parties have largely remained silent about each other. Langsford's memoir is set to break that silence from her perspective. She has revealed that she has been attending therapy to help process the end of the long relationship, describing it as a calming experience that has helped her move forward.
"The end of a very long relationship takes a lot of unravelling," she told woman&home. "Counselling helps you move on from it, to not be held back." She also shared a newfound optimism, stating she now "definitely see[s] light in the future" where once she saw only darkness.
From Co-Hosts to Separate Paths
Ruth and Eamonn were a beloved fixture on ITV's This Morning for a decade until their departure in 2021. Speculation around their split included suggestions that Langsford had grown weary of a caring role following Holmes's hip operation. It was later revealed he was in a relationship with Alexander, someone he had met years prior, though there is no implication of infidelity during the marriage.
While Holmes has embarked on a new romance, Langsford has remained single and focused on her healing journey. Her forthcoming book marks a significant step in sharing her side of the story and reclaiming her narrative after a very public personal chapter.
