Ruth Langsford And Eamonn Holmes were connected both personally and professionally, but with news of their divorcethe couple will look to the future as individuals.
During their Together for 27 years and married for 14 yearsthey became a presenting duo – most notably op ITV'S This morning from 2006 to 2021 – and have supported each other in the industry.
Eamonn has appeared on Ruth's show Loose women on multiple occasions, and he was there for her when she undertook other ventures, including sitting in the audience during her Strictly Come Dancing stint.
Similarly, Ruth was present during Eamonn's career milestones: in the 2018 New Year Honors, Eamonn was awarded an OBE for broadcasting with his wife by his side.
Although Ruth and Eamonn, both 64, who share a son – Jack, 22 – reportedly planning to remain friendlyof course they will continue to settle separately from each other.
As Ruth embarks on a new journey, experts have shared how they think she can best get through this time.
To embrace this next chapter, Noor Hibbert, mindset coach and celebrity relationship expert, believes Ruth needs to regularly remind herself that while the news makes headlines for their fame, relationship breakdowns are common and do not indicate failure.
The author of You're a Damn Success added, “There's often this myth that we're led to believe that if your relationship doesn't last until you die, then you've failed somehow. This belief keeps people in unhappy relationships for a long time, and it's simply not true.”
While Eamonn continued to present the GB News breakfast show, Ruth has been absent from the small screen until now. In Eamonn's first appearance after the announcement, he said briefly discussed the split by thanking viewers for their support.
Noor recommends that Ruth only return to television when she feels ready: 'Ruth should take time to process her feelings instead of going straight back to work and staying busy without the space to talk how she feels.'
She continued: 'Processing and addressing how you are feeling and accepting why it is time to move on is important for Ruth to move forward in the most positive way possible.'
As she returns to her regular work on Loose Women, celebrity manager and PR Mayah Riaz says it's important she talks to viewers about what's been happening in her life.
'Loose Women is a show where panellists talk about their private lives, so when she returns it will be important for her to discuss the break-up. This is what the viewers want from her,” she advised.
However, Mayah added that Ruth should be careful with the details she shares to protect the former couple's reputation.
'I would urge her to exercise caution in disclosing too much personal information that could damage her or Eamonn's reputation.
'Maintaining a level of privacy can help her maintain a positive public image. It may seem tempting to try to win sides by explaining why they are divorcing – that will be unwise.'
The way to avoid negative connotations surrounding the end of their marriage is to focus on spreading a message of empowerment, Mayah explains. Ruth could share her personal experiences in a way that emphasizes resilience. Her personal brand could be strengthened as women can identify with her experiences and be inspired by the way she has continued to progress. Mayah concluded, “She controls the narrative.”
Although neither party married to divorce, Mayah sees the breakup as an opportunity for Ruth to “shine” on her own. To show her personality to an even wider audience, Mayah recommends that Ruth sign up for the reality show I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! – this could lead to new opportunities in areas she has not explored before.
'By sharing her own experiences and giving advice on a large platform, she can contribute to a positive story and profile herself as a voice for others. She could then partner with initiatives or organizations that promote women's empowerment, self-care or mental health care,” Mayah said.
Before she starts the Australian challenge show, Mayah believes Ruth should first dip her toe by attending more showbiz events to show she is enjoying the single life.
Noor's final advice to Ruth is to focus on the good things in her life, such as her friends and family, and her successful businesses, including a clothing collection with QVC.
“Focusing on the good things in her life will reduce stress, which in turn will help her find better solutions and get a clearer picture of the next steps she wants to take in her life and career,” she said. she.
“I would want her to spend time with people she loves, who make her happy, and find connection in those relationships as she heals and moves forward. The sooner she can process all of this, the better for her career as she begins the next chapter of her life.”
Eamonn has started navigating public life after the announcement, but body language expert Judi James has concluded that he seemed 'unwilling' and 'suppressed his emotions'.
