Ruth Langsford is embracing a new chapter post-divorce, but according to reports, ex Eamonn Holmes is fuming
Ruth Langsford may have “moved on,” leaving Eamonn Holmes furious, according to reports.
The couple shocked fans with their unexpected split announcement in May. Sources now say Ruth, who has told friends that “life begins after divorce,” is eager for her next chapter as her divorce from Eamonn Holmes nears. However, her excitement for moving on is reportedly leaving Eamonn feeling “angry and jealous.”
A source said this week: “Ruth’s sass is definitely back. She’s ready for exciting new adventures and a new man – if and when it’s on her terms – but for now, she’s not overly fussed about jumping into anyone’s bed but her own. Girls’ nights out and piña coladas are filling the void. Her friends are like her armour and they give great advice.”
“Eamonn is just angry and jealous – he’s brought this all on himself but Ruth is keeping dignified,” they added to Closer. Eamonn was reportedly “seething and hurt” over Ruth’s appearance on I’m A Celeb, according to another source. Ruth, 64, was smiling when she arrived in Australia this month to take part in the Unpacked spin-off. However, Eamonn was said to be far from pleased when he learned about her trip.
A source shared: “Eamonn is seething about Ruth going to the jungle as she never wanted to go away with him. She told him she hated flying! He’d always dreamed of taking her on some special trips, places they could explore and enjoy together, but every time he suggested it, she shot the idea down.”
“Now, all of a sudden, she’s more than happy to hop on a plane for 22 hours each way to the other side of the world! It’s left him feeling completely baffled and a bit hurt, to be honest. It’s rubbed him up the wrong way because it feels like she’s willing to do it for the show but not for him,” the source added to The Sun.
The couple is reportedly aiming for a quick divorce in the new year following their surprise announcement to end their 14-year marriage. Another source told The Sun: “The aim is for Eamonn and Ruth to resolve their divorce as quickly as possible in the New Year. Ruth is keen to stay in their marital home as it is where she is settled. Eamonn, on the other hand, wants to get out and make a fresh start. They aren’t dragging their heels and want this settled and done as quickly as possible.”
Meanwhile, Eamonn and Katie sparked marriage rumors after a recent trip to Paris. The couple was photographed outside the Louvre last week, where Eamonn was seen in a mobility chair and Katie wore a faux leather coat. Katie was also spotted wearing a sparkling ring on her engagement finger, leading to reports that Eamonn may be planning to marry her.
Ruth’s legal team is reportedly compiling a detailed timeline of Eamonn’s new relationship, as they prepare for upcoming divorce discussions. An insider told the Mirror: “Ruth’s legal team are compiling a forensically detailed account of Eamonn’s relationship with Katie and when it started. Ruth’s team are doing their due diligence ahead of the divorce proceedings. They are prepared to speak to people in Ruth and Eamonn’s wider circle.”
The source added: “Katie and Eamonn have been scrambling around to tell their respective exes that they were not romantically involved way back then.” Ruth has reportedly enlisted the services of high-profile divorce lawyer Catherine Costley, who charges £400 per hour. Costley previously worked with renowned divorce attorney Baroness Fiona Shackleton, who represented high-profile clients such as the King in his divorce from Princess Diana and Sir Paul McCartney.
