Eamonn Holmes has spoken about career and life balance regrets in a new interview, while his ex-wife Ruth Langsford recently said she’s open to remarrying after their 2024 split
Eamonn Holmes has suggested he harbours regrets following his ex-wife Ruth Langsford’s revelation that she remains open to remarrying after their surprising separation.
The former television presenting duo announced the conclusion of their 14-year marriage through a joint statement in May 2024, with Eamonn subsequently beginning a relationship with counsellor Katie Alexander.
Whilst Ruth, 65, is believed to have stayed single, she recently shared her perspective on potentially tying the knot again, whilst also disclosing she sought therapy following her separation from the GB News presenter, 66. Adopting a “never say never” approach to future serious relationships, she explained that the experience hadn’t completely deterred her from marriage.
“I haven’t been put off having a relationship,” she told womanandhome. “I haven’t even been put off marriage, but I’m definitely not actively looking, and part of that is because I’ve realised I’m actually quite good on my own.”
She also praised her close female friends for ensuring she felt “completely supported” whilst adapting to life as a single woman.
Meanwhile, Eamonn has suggested he feels remorse about certain past decisions. When questioned in a recent interview about what he might do differently if he could “go back and change anything?” Eamonn confessed he would “try to find a better balance between my career and my personal life”, reports the Mirror.
Speaking to Mind Jump magazine for its January 2026 edition, the former This Morning presenter also sidestepped the question “What’s your biggest regret?”, with the publication noting it was “intentionally left unanswered.”
The Belfast-born broadcaster also revealed details about his challenging physical health struggles and reduced mobility, explaining how it made him “grateful for the people” who supported him throughout.
Back in 2016, the then 55 year old underwent a double hip replacement to alleviate his persistent leg, hip and back pain which left him “not being able to drive, let alone do anything more physically active” and he described the experience as “life-changing”.
In 2021, he discussed the return of his chronic pain which was later discovered to be the result of three slipped discs in his back.
The subsequent year saw him travel to Belfast for professional commitments, only to end up hospitalised when his spinal issues began affecting his bowel and bladder function. A September 2022 operation “tidied things up”, he later revealed, but created additional mobility challenges which led to multiple falls.
