TV presenter Eamonn Holmes is reportedly reeling after being emotionally “left behind” by his new partner — and, in a twist few saw coming, has turned to his ex-wife Ruth Langsford in what insiders call a moment of “loneliness and regret.” But Ruth’s response? Firm, clear, and final.
Sources say Eamonn, 64, has reached out to Ruth for the first time since their painful split in May 2024, following the recent turbulence in his relationship with 43-year-old therapist Katie Alexander. Despite early hopes, Katie has reportedly refused to relocate to London and is unwilling to commit fully to their relationship, citing her teenage children and desire to avoid the media spotlight.
Feeling adrift, Eamonn was spotted interacting with one of Ruth’s social media posts — a gentle gesture that fans interpreted as a subtle attempt at reconnection.
However, Ruth, 65, isn’t playing along. In a move described as “decisive and empowering,” the Loose Women star has instructed her lawyers to officially sever the joint tenancy of their £3.6 million Surrey mansion. This legal step ensures that, should anything happen to her, Eamonn will no longer have any claim to the property they once shared.
“Ruth has made it clear: she’s closing the chapter, both emotionally and financially,” one source said.
Legal expert Sarah Dwight elaborated on the significance: “Severing joint tenancy means she has total control over her share of the property — she can leave it to whoever she wants. It’s a very clear signal that she’s protecting her future, independent of Eamonn.”
Fans have applauded Ruth’s swift action. Many took to social media to celebrate her strength, with one fan commenting: “She didn’t just walk away. She sprinted — with style and smarts!”
The couple, once beloved TV co-hosts, first met in 1997, had a son in 2002, and married in 2010. While their on-air chemistry made them fan favourites, the cracks had been forming behind the scenes long before their split.
Now, while Eamonn finds himself “emotionally in limbo,” Ruth is forging ahead — on her own terms, and with her future firmly in her hands.
