Eamonn Holmes pays estranged wife Ruth Langsford a rare compliment in new Instagram post

The former couple share a grown-up son and a rescue dog

Eamonn Holmes has paid ex-wife Ruth Langsford a rare compliment in an Instagram post that might just raise eyebrows with his new flame, Katie Alexander.

The unusual post comes after sources claimed Eamonn was “ready to go to war” with Ruth as they thrash out the details of their divorce.

Ruth and Eamonn, both 65, sent shockwaves through the showbiz world when they announced they were getting divorced back in May 2024. It was rumoured that the pair had split a year before, after Ruth discovered messages to other women on Eamonn’s tablet.

Reason behind Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes’ split

A source told The Sun at the time: “Ruth was completely taken by surprise when she saw the messages. She had no idea what had been going on between them. She was devastated. Not only was she very upset but she was also angry.”

Ruth is thought to be currently single. Eamonn, meanwhile, moved on with age-gap girlfriend Katie, 43. And, as well as sharing 22-year-old son Jack, Ruth and Eamonn also share custody of rescue dog Maggie.

And it was in a post about Maggie today (August 11), that Eamonn Holmes made a rare comment about Ruth.
