TV fans across the nation have been left heartbroken after the news of Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes’ split surfaced this weekend.
The Sun on Sunday previously revealed that the pair, who used to host ITV’s This Morning every Friday, are planning to divorce as their careers have taken them in “different directions.” A representative for the couple, who tied the knot in 2010, told The Sun: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”
While fans are finding it hard to come to terms with the split, some observant followers seem to have pointed out a few telling signs. Some of which have been fairly noticeable such as not appearing on their social media accounts.

Both Ruth and Eamonn are active on Instagram, but they seldom post about each other. Ruth’s recent posts have been focused on her return to the ITV daytime show Loose Women and her QVC clothing lines.
Although she frequently shares photos and videos of her mother, Eamonn is usually absent. Two years ago in July, Eamonn made an appearance in a video on her page to promote her Feeling Fabulous event.
Meanwhile, Eamonn’s Instagram feed tells a similar story. It’s filled with family photos and glimpses into life in a TV newsroom. But Ruth – whom he lovingly calls Ruthie – is rarely featured.

A recent photo of Eamonn with Linda Lusardi also raised eyebrows among fans. The 64-year-old shared a picture with the actress and TV presenter, showing off their friendship that has lasted more than three decades.
In his social media post, he penned: “1982 v 2024 and she hasn’t changed a bit . My wonderful, close friend Linda Lusardi who I went to see today 42yr friendship x”.
Despite the light-hearted post, one of his followers quickly asked: “Where was poor Ruth?” Another chimed in with: “Where is your beautiful wife Ruth!” A third addded: “Why or what are you trying prove!”
Health Struggles

Ruth seemed to hint at the challenges of caring for Eamonn’s numerous health issues recently. She had to clarify a comment about being “fed up” with her husband amid his health struggles – which have seen him using a wheelchair and crutches.
This followed a statement Eamonn made on his GB News breakfast show. He confessed: “I think my family are a bit fed up with me now.”
“The kids are a bit embarrassed about how I move around or don’t move around, and Ruth’s getting a bit fed up with me.” Ruth took the chance to explain the comments on ITV daytime show Loose Women, where she often presents.
She admitted: “I thought, well, I am and I’m not. Do you know what I mean? It’s human.” You can’t help, but when you’re helping someone all the time and they’re very incapacitated it’s hard to be Florence Nightingale all the time.”
Major Changes
Eamonn recently hinted that change could be on the horizon as he discussed moving back to his homeland. Born in Belfast, he often proudly speaks of his Northern Irish roots.
Just last year, a potential relocation seemed to be a point of contention for the couple. Eamonn Holmes answered positively when Ruth Langsford’s Loose Women pal, Kaye Adams, asked him on her podcast How To Be 60 if he’d consider returning to the network.
He responded: “Oh gosh yes, but Ruth wouldn’t want that, she won’t go. She wouldn’t go.”
