Ruth Langsford is coping with the emotional fallout from her split with Eamonn Holmes, which was announced in May after 14 years of marriage. Friends report that she is 'partying through the pain' and trying to focus on things that bring her happiness, despite being shocked by Eamonn's quick move on with new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Coleen Nolan, a close friend, praised Ruth for handling the situation with dignity, even as she navigates the challenges of her divorce and the public nature of Eamonn's new relationship. Ruth has hired a formidable divorce lawyer, Catherine Costley, as she seeks a fair financial settlement. Meanwhile, she continues to engage with friends and work, maintaining a positive outlook despite recent personal setbacks. The couple shares a son and had been perceived as a strong partnership before their surprising separation.
