Eamonn Holmes Still Wearing Wedding Ring Amid Divorce
Eamonn Holmes, the 64-year-old Irish broadcaster, sparked speculation about his marital status this weekend. Despite his ongoing divorce from wife Ruth Langsford, Holmes was spotted wearing his wedding ring while co-hosting the GB News Sunday show with Anne Diamond.
Fans took to social media to comment on the noticeable ring, with many expressing their surprise given the recent announcement of the couple's separation. "He's still wearing his wedding ring," one commented, while another added, "That's what I was thinking! Glad somebody noticed apart from myself!!"
Holmes and Langsford announced their separation in May after 27 years together and 14 years of marriage. The announcement came after months of speculation about their relationship, with sources claiming that the pair had been living separate lives for some time.
However, Holmes' continued wearing of his wedding ring adds a layer of mystery to the situation. It's unclear whether this is a deliberate choice or simply a slip-up, leaving many wondering if the couple's split is truly as final as it seemed.
Despite the ongoing divorce, Holmes appears to be keeping himself busy with work commitments. He recently accepted the TRIC Award for Best Breakfast Show for his GB News morning slot, appearing at the ceremony with a zimmer frame to assist his movement.
Holmes has been battling chronic back pain for years, a condition that worsened after an unsuccessful operation. He currently struggles to walk unaided and has spoken candidly about his ongoing health struggles.
Amidst his divorce and health challenges, Holmes has found comfort in the company of Katie Alexander, a 42-year-old divorcee and mother of three. Sources close to the pair have suggested that their friendship has developed into something more serious, with Alexander hoping to turn their connection into a long-term relationship.
While Holmes continues to navigate his personal life, Langsford has taken an extended break from her presenting role on Loose Women, citing the end of her marriage as the reason for her absence. The details of their separation, however, remain largely private.
Both Holmes and Langsford share one son, Jack, 22, together. Holmes also has three children, Declan (35), Rebecca (32), and Niall (30), from a previous marriage.
As the former couple moves forward with their separate lives, the question remains: What does the future hold for Eamonn Holmes and his wedding ring?
