Ruth Langsford is reportedly very upset with her estranged spouse, Eamonn Holmes, for not making an effort to connect with their son Jack during the festive season. Sources claim that Eamonn also distanced himself from his older children, Niall and Rebecca, from his previous marriage to Gabrielle, over Christmas.
Insiders suggest that the Loose Women star is unwilling to forgive her former partner for this neglect as their divorce proceedings continue. The couple announced their separation in 2024, revealing that Ruth discovered messages from Eamonn to another woman.
In a statement released at the time, it was confirmed that Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes were ending their marriage and proceeding with a divorce.
According to a source from Bella magazine, Ruth is angry that Eamonn did not attempt to reach out to Jack, expressing that he could have at least extended well wishes and kept the door open for communication. The source mentioned that Ruth is firm in her decision not to forgive Eamonn for this.
After their split, Eamonn was linked to counselor Katie Alexander, who is significantly younger than him. Reports surfaced in July indicating that Eamonn’s son Niall sided with Ruth following a heated argument between him and Eamonn at an event. The disagreement reportedly stemmed from Eamonn and Katie attending a celebration for one of Eamonn’s colleagues, leading to tension between father and son.
Sources close to the family revealed that Eamonn’s children are feeling embarrassed by his actions and are distressed by the pressure to take sides in the situation. They warned Eamonn against forcing them to pick sides, emphasizing that the outcome might not be in his favor.
Allegedly, Eamonn made a remark about Ruth at a recent engagement party he attended, where he referred to Katie as his “soulmate.” This comment reportedly did not sit well with his children, who viewed it as a dig at Ruth for not moving on with someone else.
Eamonn, who has faced health challenges and often uses a wheelchair due to previous surgeries, remains at the center of ongoing drama involving his personal relationships and family dynamics.
