ITV star Ruth Langsford has spoken candidly about the possibility of finding love again, following the end of her 14-year marriage to broadcaster Eamonn Holmes.
Embracing Single Life After a Public Split
The Loose Women panellist, 65, confirmed she is not actively searching for a new partner but has adopted a 'never say never' attitude towards future relationships and even marriage. Ruth and Eamonn, 66, announced their separation in 2024, a move that shocked their many fans.
While Eamonn has since begun a new relationship with 46-year-old Katie Alexander, Ruth told womanandhome magazine she is concentrating on herself. 'I'm trying to embrace the fact that I'm single,' she explained, adding that therapy had helped her realise she is independent and strong.
Career Focus and a Dig at the Past
Since the split, Langsford's professional life has flourished. She has hinted she would be open to a return to This Morning, especially if it meant co-hosting with her 'TV son' Rylan Clark. 'If they'd have me, they only have to ask,' she said.
In a recent episode of Loose Women, Ruth appeared to make a light-hearted jab at her former marriage. During a discussion on health, co-host Myleene Klass remarked that men live longer when married, while women often live longer when they are not. Ruth quipped, 'Good to know!' sparking laughter from the studio audience.
Eamonn's Festive Well-Wishes and Health Battle
Despite their ongoing divorce proceedings, Eamonn Holmes publicly sent his best wishes to Ruth over the Christmas period. Attending an awards dinner with new partner Katie, the GB News presenter told The Sun, 'I wish Ruth all the best, she deserves it.'
Eamonn also shared updates on his serious health struggles, stemming from complications after surgery in 2022. He now uses a walking frame but hopes a revolutionary stem cell treatment will help him walk more freely in 2026. The couple spent Christmas in a North Yorkshire holiday cottage.
For now, Ruth Langsford is looking forward, embracing her independence and the exciting new chapter ahead, both personally and on screen.
