Ruth Langsford has revealed she turned to counselling to help her cope with her painful split from ex-husband Eamonn Holmes, saying it gave her “tools to deal with things”.
The couple, familiar to millions as married co-hosts on ITV’s This Morning, announced in May 2024 that they were divorcing after 27 years together, 14 of them married. They share a son, Jack, 23.
Speaking to Women & Home magazine, Ms Langsford, 65, said she continues to see a counsellor, who “doesn’t get involved and doesn’t judge”. She described the process as “calming” and added: “I think I know myself very well, so it has just been calming. It makes me question how I’m feeling.”
Ms Langsford acknowledged the strain of going through a separation in the public eye and said she remains open to finding love again, but is not actively looking. “I’ve realised I’m actually quite good on my own,” she said.
The couple have yet to finalise their divorce as they work through financial arrangements, including the fate of the family home and a tax dispute involving Mr Holmes and HMRC. Earlier this week, Ms Langsford appeared to make a subtle dig at her ex-husband during a Loose Women discussion about men’s health, quipping “Good to know” after a panellist noted that women live longer when unmarried.
