Loose Women star Ruth Langsford is turning the page — celebrating a meaningful Easter weekend and hinting at a fresh start as she continues to move on from estranged husband Eamonn Holmes, nearly a year after their separation.
Ruth Langsford celebrates ‘special’ first Easter without Eamonn Holmes – nearly a year after shock split
Loose Women star Ruth Langsford marked a heartfelt milestone this weekend, enjoying a “special” Easter – her first since parting ways with longtime partner Eamonn Holmes.
Treating herself over the long weekend, Ruth shared an uplifting update with fans as she continues to navigate life post-breakup.
The former couple, who shocked fans with their split in May 2024 after 14 years of marriage, have yet to finalise their divorce – but Ruth’s latest post signals she’s embracing a new chapter.
Amid the tricky time, Ruth made sure to treat herself as she tucked into a meal of fish and chips. She gave fans a look into how she was spending the religious holiday as she headed to The Oatlands Chaser pub in Weybridge, Surrey.
Ruth said: “Should probably have been yesterday but finally got some fish for Easter!” The 65-year-old later shared a mirror selfie as she modelled some of her own looks from QVC.
She has clearly moved on from the heartache of parting ways with Eamonn, and is living her best life. However, those close to Ruth have maintained her concern for Eamonn haven’t simply vanished as he appears to be struggling with his health.
According to reports, Eamonn has been having increasing health problems amid ongoing back pain and mobility issues. The presenter even sparked concern recently by going ‘missing’ from his usual presenting duties one day on GB News.
“Ruth honestly doesn’t talk about Eamonn, she’s really moved on from that part of her life,” a source told OK! Magazine. “But of course, she does care about him, because they share a child and they were married for a long time.”
Despite feeling ‘sad’ that her former partner is struggling, the presenter is also staying strong and focusing on herself. They added: “She has seen that he is struggling, and it’s sad to see anyone in that situation.
“Of course, she fears for him and doesn’t want to think of Eamonn battling with his health – but she has to focus on herself and her own life now.”

Ruth is focused on her own path, continuing her work on Loose Women and moving forward with her head held high. Last month, a source claimed to New that the star was still wearing her wedding ring as she is ‘coming to terms with a long relationship ending’.
Eamonn has moved on with girlfriend Katie Alexander, who is 22 years his junior, while Ruth is not ready for a new relationship and “just wants out” of her marriage.
“She’s still wearing her wedding ring because she’s coming to terms with a long relationship ending, and realising Eamonn maybe wasn’t the person she thought he was,” our source claimed. “And she’s also coming to terms with life being very, very different for her going forward.
“Ruth has been having fun going out with her girlfriends, and enjoying a little flirt, but that’s it. She really needs the Eamonn chapter to be fully closed before she can move on romantically, she needs her freedom.
“She really isn’t dating, it’s the last thing she wants to do,” our source continued. “She just wants to get the divorce over and done with. Her friends would love to see her happy with someone else, but she needs to get the divorce over with first before she can properly move on.”
