Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford announce divorce after 14 years of marriage

Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford are divorcing after 14 years of marriage.

The couple, who previously presented ITV’s This Morning together, confirmed via a spokesperson that they had split and are in the process of getting a divorce.

A spokesperson on behalf of the broadcasting couple said in a statement to The Sun on Sunday, which first reported the split: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”

A friend told the tabloid the couple had drifted apart after their work “took them in different directions”.

Holmes and Langsford, who married in 2010, have one son, Jack, who was born in 2002.

Holmes also has three children, Declan, Rebecca and Niall, from his first marriage.

The GB news presenter also presented Channel 5 programmes with Langsford including How The Other Half Lives, Do The Right Thing With Eamonn And Ruth and Eamonn And Ruth’s 7 Year Itch.
