Eamonn Holmes' infidelity led to split from Ruth

Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, both 65, split after 14 years of marriage. The announcement came in May 2024, surprising fans who were unaware of any issues. Reports suggest that Ruth discovered Eamonn talking to another woman on the phone. She heard him chatting from another room and confronted him. This moment reportedly marked the beginning of the end for their relationship. A source shared that Ruth was shocked to find intimate messages between Eamonn and another woman on his laptop, leading to their separation. The alleged phone call happened about a month before their split announcement. Eamonn is now dating Katie Alexander, a 42-year-old woman he is believed to have known since 2012. Katie's ex-husband has commented on their past friendship, describing some "flirting" between them. Ruth recently celebrated her 65th birthday, marking her first without Eamonn.

Ruth hasn’t heard from Eamonn since their split and is focusing on healing.
