Ruth Langsford’s Emotional Struggle Post-Divorce
Ruth Langsford, beloved television presenter and former co-host of “This Morning,” has finally opened up about the emotional toll her divorce from Eamonn Holmes has taken on her. The couple, who were together for 27 years and married for 14, shocked fans when they announced their split in May last year. Since then, Ruth has been navigating the challenges of single life while dealing with personal struggles, including a drastic weight loss that she attributes to stress and hormonal changes.
In a candid interview with Woman and Home Magazine, Ruth revealed the deep emotional impact of her separation and how she is trying to move forward despite the heartbreak. “A break-up of a relationship is hard enough for anybody to deal with. A divorce is very difficult and painful, but most people don’t have to do it in the public eye,” she shared. “When you’re in a relationship, it’s easy to say, ‘Great, I’ve got a weekend to myself,’ but when you think that might be every weekend, it’s a different story.”
The Weight of Stress: Ruth’s Transformation
Since confirming her split, Ruth Langsford’s appearance has noticeably changed. The stress of the separation, coupled with a focused effort on her health, has resulted in a significant weight loss of nearly a stone and a half. Fans have commented on her transformation, praising her for looking “radiant” despite the emotional turmoil.
Opening up about her weight loss, Ruth explained, “Divorce obviously has something to do with it, but I also went for a hormone check and rebalance, which helped. It could also hopefully mean that I’m coming to the end of menopause.”
Along with hormonal balancing, Ruth has adopted a new, healthier lifestyle. She frequently shares her diet and meal choices on Instagram, showcasing a balanced approach to nutrition. Her daily diet now includes boiled eggs, lean proteins like turkey, and fresh salads packed with nutrient-dense ingredients. Additionally, Ruth has incorporated a homemade green juice into her routine, made from a blend of ginger, spinach, cucumber, pineapple, apple, and water. “I take this to work most days,” she revealed to her followers. “[It] stops me grabbing unhealthy, processed food.”
Coping with Heartbreak in the Public Eye
Being in the public spotlight has made Ruth’s divorce even more challenging. Fans and media outlets have speculated on her feelings about Eamonn moving on with his new girlfriend, Katie Alexander, a 42-year-old relationship counselor. While Ruth has largely kept quiet about her ex-husband’s new relationship, she has hinted at the difficulties of adjusting to life alone.
“I’m quite fine being on my own, but not forever,” Ruth admitted. “I don’t want to be alone for the rest of my life.”
Despite the pain, Ruth has been focusing on self-care and surrounding herself with supportive friends. Her co-stars on Loose Women have praised her resilience, and she has received an outpouring of love from fans who admire her strength and grace during this difficult time.
Looking Toward the Future
Though the past year has been filled with emotional ups and downs, Ruth Langsford is determined to find happiness again. She has expressed gratitude for her fans’ support and has remained optimistic about the future. While she is not actively seeking a new relationship, she has hinted that she remains open to love when the time is right.
In the meantime, Ruth is focusing on her career, personal growth, and embracing the next chapter of her life. “Gratitude is the attitude,” she says—a philosophy that has helped her stay positive through this challenging period.
