Ruth Langsford Reportedly Discovers Eamonn Holmes’s “Intimate Chats” Leading to Marital Split
The separation of Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes was allegedly triggered by Langsford discovering Holmes in conversation with another woman and subsequently finding messages on his laptop. Sources indicate the 65-year-old Loose Women presenter overheard the GB News host, also 65, engaged in “intimate discussions” prior to uncovering incriminating messages on his device. The couple, known for co-hosting ITV’s This Morning, announced their separation in May 2024, ending their 14-year marriage and 27-year relationship, a move that surprised many.
Details of the Alleged Discovery
According to a source speaking to The Sun, the incident unfolded at their Surrey residence approximately a month before the public announcement of their split. “Eamonn believed he was alone at home while on the phone. However, Ruth overheard his conversation from another part of the house and was reportedly shocked. She confronted Eamonn. It was a significant shock for both. Eamonn was unaware Ruth was present. Discovering the ‘intimate chats’ with another woman was a serious blow for Ruth.”
The alleged phone call reportedly occurred one month prior to their separation announcement, with the discovery of laptop messages the following month allegedly prompting the definitive split.
