Eamonn Holmes is continuing to wear his wedding ring – for a supposed ‘stubborn’ reason.
The former This Morning presenter is still wearing his wedding band as he was “not the one who called time” on his romance with Ruth Langsford, an insider claimed.
Eamonn, 64, parted ways with Ruth, also 64, earlier this year after 14 years of being wed to one another. However, an insider has told Bella that it has been a conscious decision.

A source told Bella: “Eamonn doesn’t want to look like he’s the one to blame for the end of their marriage, so he doesn’t want to be the one to take the ring off first. He’s saying ‘I didn’t end this marriage so why should I take my ring off?’.”

“It’s a bit of stubbornness from his side.” Loose Women star Ruth is also continuing to wear hers too, as viewers of the ITV chat show have noticed.
A source revealed that Ruth continues to wear it because she hasn’t processed the end of her marriage yet. A source told Bella: “For Ruth, it’s a big thing to take the ring off. It’s almost the final step of saying it’s over. In her mind she’s still getting her head around everything and she knows that taking off the ring is a big statement to make.

“Ruth isn’t going to be rushed or told when to take it off, she’ll do it when she feels strong enough. Eamonn is saying he won’t take his off if Ruth isn’t taking hers off.”
“When she eventually does, Eamonn will too, but right now, he’s of the mind that if he takes it off first it looks like he’s the one at faulty so he’s very much keeping it on.”

The former This Morning presenter got hitched back in June 2010 at The Elvetham hotel in Hampshire. The couple share their son Jack, 22.
TV host Ruth also become step-mum to Eamonn’s sons from a previous relationship to his ex-wife Gabrielle Holmes, Declan, 35, Niall, 31, and daughter Rebecca, 33. He was married to Gabrielle for 11 years.
