Ruth Langsford reportedly expressed anger towards her estranged spouse, Eamonn Holmes, for not making contact with their son Jack during the Christmas holiday. Sources indicate that Eamonn also distanced himself from his older children, Niall and Rebecca, from his previous marriage to Gabrielle, during the festive season.
Insiders suggest that the Loose Women star remains unforgiving of her ex-partner’s actions, especially as their ongoing divorce proceedings persist. The couple announced their separation in 2024, following 14 years of marriage, with Ruth allegedly discovering messages from Eamonn to another woman.
A statement released at the time confirmed the end of Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes’ marriage, stating that they are currently in the process of divorce.
According to sources close to the situation, Ruth was upset by Eamonn’s failure to reach out to their son Jack and attempt to mend fences over the holiday season. They mentioned that she believes Eamonn should have at least extended well wishes to their son and kept the lines of communication open.
Following their separation, Eamonn was seen moving on with counselor Katie Alexander, who is significantly younger than him. Reports surfaced that Eamonn’s son Niall sided with Ruth after a heated argument between him and Eamonn at an engagement party.
Sources revealed that Eamonn’s children are feeling embarrassed and upset by his actions, expressing dissatisfaction with the pressure to take sides and cautioning Eamonn about the potential consequences of forcing them to choose.
Eamonn allegedly made a comment directed at Ruth during a recent engagement party, where he praised Katie as his “soulmate” and made a remark about loyalty during challenging times. Responding to this, sources noted that Eamonn’s children were displeased by the implied comparison, highlighting that Ruth was not the one seen in a new relationship.
Eamonn, who often uses a wheelchair due to chronic health issues following hip and spinal surgeries, remains under public scrutiny amid ongoing developments in his personal life.
