Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes shocked everyone with their split, bit it seems the divorce battle is getting even messier.
In May last year, the former This Morning presenters made the shock announcement that their 14-year marriage had come to an end. After meeting in 1997, the pair dated for more than 10 years before getting engaged. They share a son Jack, who was born in 2002.
But things between Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes pair got messy during the divorce. And now it has been reported he is “dragging his feet” to get more money for his new girlfriend’s lifestyle.
Eamonn ‘messaged mystery woman’
A while after the divorce was initially announced, it was reported that Ruth found Eamonn messaging other women. And that was believed to be the main reason they decided to split.
Reports claimed that Ruth felt “upset” over reports she was “ditching him because of his ongoing health issues”. And that’s believed to not be the reason.
It was then alleged that Ruth discovered messages on Eamonn’s laptop from another woman.
The source said: “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

‘Custody battle’
Immediately after the divorce announcement, it was reported Ruth and Eamonn were struggling to agree on who gets custody of their beloved dog.
They were said to be facing the “difficult conversations” of who will keep “second child”.
A source claimed at the time: “Maggie is like a daughter to them. They dote on her. But she’s getting on and they know she needs stability. It is a case of who can give her that.”
After weighing up the decision, it was Ruth who ultimately got custody of the pet pooch.
‘War over money’
Back in June 2024 it was claimed that things could get “nasty” between the former lovebirds. There were even shock claims that he “made Ruth”.
At the time a source said: “It could get nasty. To think they would go from appearing so happy on TV to potentially going to war over money is not what their viewers expected. He made her. Would she be earning the huge amount of money she does if they had never met?”
‘Swipe’ at Eamonn during Loose Women
In October 2024, it appeared that Ruth made a dig at her difficult divorce with Eamonn.
During a live broadcast of Loose Women, the conversation turned to messy divorce proceedings.
Mariella Frostrup said: “That’s a whole other subject isn’t it? How to divorce well?”
And it seems Ruth couldn’t help but give her first-hand opinion on the matter as she responded: “Oh tell me about it.”
