London, UK – With persistent rumours about her ex-husband Eamonn Holmes’ love life, Ruth Langsford is navigating life after their 14-year marriage ended.
The couple announced their split in a joint statement in May. Since then, Eamonn, 64, has reportedly grown close to a female friend, counsellor Katie Alexander, 42, while Ruth, also 64, has kept a low profile.
As the divorce continues, Loose Women panellist Ruth may contemplate dating again.
Initially reluctant, sources tell OK! magazine that she’s beginning to view dating in a new light.
Friends are eager to help her, suggesting dating apps and setups, though Ruth prefers being set up on dates.
Relationship expert Tina Wilson advises caution, emphasizing there’s a “perfect time” to start dating after a breakup:” Getting through a breakup is emotionally exhausting, especially in the public eye. But time is a great healer, and as life continues, Ruth will naturally consider meeting someone new,” “Ilson said.
Wilson also noted the significant changes in the dating world since Ruth was last single. “She needs to feel open to meeting someone. She completely closed off; it is the right time, and she may need time to heal.”
Celeb”dating her new status and spending time with loved ones can help Ruth regain confidence before entering dating.
Wilson highlighted the importance of respect between Ruth and Eamonn, especially for their 22-year-old son, Jack. Eamonn also has three older children from his first marriage.
The couple’s official statement about the split was brief: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed “their marriage is over, and they are in the process of divorcing.” As they process the end of their union privately, Ruth might find comfort in relying on friends for matchmaking rather than dating strangers.
OK! has approached Ruth’s representatives for comment.
