Yesterday it emerged Eamonn and Ruth’s marriage had been ‘over for a year’, with friends saying the couple were ‘determined to keep it a secret’ as they struggled to save their 27-year relationship.

So keen they were to avoid it becoming public, both Ruth and Eamonn denied there were any problems when asked in recent months. 

Their romance has sparked concern in recent weeks as Ruth admitted that the last two years have been hard on her relationship after Eamonn suffered from complex health issues. 

The pair are determined to ‘keep things amicable’ as the TV couple head for divorce after 14 years of marriage.

They revealed on Saturday morning that they had split, saying work commitments ‘took their marriage in different directions’. 

A representative said: ‘Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.’

Former This Morning hosts Holmes and Langsford wedded in 2010 after spending 13 years together as a couple – and say they are now ‘determined to stay friends’.

They are parents to son Jack, 22, while Eamonn also has sons Declan, 35, Niall, 31, and daughter Rebecca, 33, from his previous marriage.

While Ruth and Eamonn have remained silent following the split announcement, sources close to the pair say that a ‘statement is being prepared by Ruth’s representatives’ which will share the sad news with their followers.

The beloved TV pair, who friends say were ‘as close to Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan as you could get’, have sparked rumours over the last few months as neither appeared on the other’s Instagram posts.

The famous couple first met in through a mutual friend, GMTV star Sally Meen, while Eamonn was also on the show in 1997.

Two years later, he had split from his first wife Gabrielle Holmes, the mother of his three eldest children.

And despite Ruth and Eamonn feeling an instant connection, he ensured it was the nation’s best-kept secret, as he did not publicly confess his love for Ruth for two years.

Eamonn and Ruth’s marriage has reportedly been over for a year (the pair are seen on This Morning in 2021)

Eamonn and Ruth tied the knot in 2010 after 13 years together, in a lavish ceremony at the grand 19th century Hampshire hotel, The Elvetham

One friend of the couple said that it has been over for a year but they were ‘determined to keep it a secret’

Eamonn even refused to hold her hand in public or attend events together for the first few years of their relationship in a bid to stay respectful to his ex of nearly 20 years.

But after just a year of having their relationship out in the open, they welcomed their son Jack in 2002.

But now, more than 20 years later as the beloved pair have split, one friend told : ‘Ruth and her team have been telling their friends to look out for the comments, which they are planning to put on social media.

‘It’s a very sorry tale. They are both so loved by the British public, they won over so many people on This Morning which they hosted for more than a decade.’

Eamonn reportedly plans to discuss his split from Ruth during an upcoming TV appearance.

He will address their break-up during an appearance on the GB News breakfast show.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: ‘Eamonn is always frank on camera and knows it will be odd for him to discuss the day’s news without mentioning his split so he’ll say a few words.

‘He is putting on a brave face and will be the true professional he always is. Focusing on work will be a welcome distraction.’
