Eamonn Holmes Refuses to Remove Wedding Ring After Split

Eamonn Holmes, 64, is reportedly holding onto his wedding ring after his recent split from Ruth Langsford, with sources suggesting his actions are driven by a sense of defiance. The couple's separation, announced in May, shocked fans and insiders alike, as Eamonn was allegedly blindsided by Ruth's public declaration, unaware she would make such an announcement. According to insiders speaking to Bella magazine, Eamonn is determined to avoid appearing responsible for the marriage's breakdown. A source revealed, "Eamonn doesn't want to look like he's the one to blame for the end of their marriage, so he doesn't want to be the one to take the ring off first." This sentiment reflects his desire to maintain a sense of dignity amid the turmoil. Ruth, on the other hand, reportedly felt blindsided and hurt by the revelations surrounding their split. Sources indicate that she was devastated upon discovering messages that suggested Eamonn's lack of awareness regarding her intentions, leading to feelings of anger and betrayal. In the wake of the separation, Eamonn has been seen with a new companion, Katie Alexander, who has a notable past connection with a much older partner. Despite the circumstances, Katie's former partner expressed no hard feelings towards her new relationship with Eamonn, describing her as a "nice woman" and "absolutely brilliant."
