Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes announced their split back in May. Since then, Eamonn has reportedly found a new love.

Yet rather than retreat from the public eye, Ruth has emerged stronger, more radiant, and more independent than ever. Since the separation, she’s been spotted with a fresh look — glowing skin, sleek hair, and a wardrobe that fans have called her “most confident and youthful” in years.

“Ruth looks absolutely stunning,” one fan commented on social media after her recent Loose Women appearance. “She’s got that post-breakup glow!” Another wrote, “Eamonn must be kicking himself — Ruth is thriving!”

But insiders say the transformation isn’t just skin-deep. Friends describe Ruth’s new chapter as one of self-rediscovery and quiet empowerment.

“For years, Ruth’s focus was on keeping her home life stable and supporting Eamonn through his health issues,” an insider said.

“Now, she’s finally putting herself first. She’s exercising more, spending time with friends, and saying yes to things she’d put off before.”

Her work on Loose Women has also taken on a new energy. Viewers have noticed she’s more outspoken, more playful, and more relaxed on screen — often laughing and joking with her co-hosts in ways that feel freer than before.

“It’s like she’s taken a deep breath and decided to live again,” a colleague told The Mirror. “Ruth is rediscovering her spark — and she’s not apologizing for it.”

Meanwhile, however, Ruth has been enjoying the single life for the first time in over 25 years. Here’s an inside look at her new single life following her split from her telly-star husband…

Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes split – ‘revenge romance’

Back in July, it was claimed that Ruth had been left “shocked” after learning that Eamonn had got close to a new woman.

It was then reported that Ruth was planning on a “revenge romance” of her own.

According to a source who spoke to The Mirror, pals of the 64-year-old reportedly had a “long list” of men they believe could make her happy.

“They feel she could easily have a revenge romance tomorrow if she needs to,” the source claimed.

“Dating feels like a terrifying other world to Ruth, but her pals have promised to hold her hand through the process once she’s ready,” they then added.

The source then added that Ruth is “excited about a romantic future”.

Stunning makeover

Following her split, Ruth underwent a stunning makeover that sent her fans wild.

Instead, she’s focusing on the future — and by all accounts, it looks bright. There’s talk of new TV projects, a possible memoir, and even a lifestyle line inspired by her love of home décor and fashion.

“Ruth’s getting offers left and right,” an ITV executive revealed. “She’s more in demand now than ever. Viewers love her honesty and warmth — she’s relatable, resilient, and real.”

Despite the challenges of recent months, those close to Ruth say she’s beginning to truly embrace single life. “She’s realizing that solitude isn’t loneliness,” a friend said.

“It’s freedom. She can travel when she wants, spend her evenings how she chooses, and focus on what makes her happy. It’s empowering.”

Still, Ruth has been careful to acknowledge that her journey hasn’t been without pain. In one recent Loose Women discussion about relationships ending, she appeared emotional as she spoke about learning to let go.

“You have to grieve the life you had,” she said softly. “But you also have to believe there’s a new one waiting.”

In June, Ruth shared some stunning snaps on Instagram after having her hair and makeup done.

The caption of the post, which was shared by her hairstylist, read: “Huntastic.”

“Ruth you look amazing, younger and happier… Keep doing what you’re doing,” one fan commented.

“You look absolutely glowing!” another gushed.

“Hair straighter makes you look younger,” a third wrote.

The star also recently had her hair done again and this time, she opted for some longer extensions. She told fans: “Extensions time again! @leobancroft salon. Decided to keep them a bit longer this time (lots of you told me to last time!)

Still, it hasn’t gone unnoticed that Ruth has been enjoying more nights out lately — and not always alone. She was recently spotted at a charity gala in London, where she was photographed laughing with a mystery man. Social media quickly went into overdrive, with fans asking if Ruth might have a new admirer.

“She looked so happy,” one onlooker told The Sun. “Whoever she was with had her in fits of laughter all evening. It was lovely to see.”

Adding to the intrigue is the fact that Ruth continues to wear her wedding ring, even months after the split. Fans have flooded her Instagram comments with questions about why she’s kept it on.

Some speculate it’s a sign of lingering affection for Eamonn, while others believe it’s a gesture of dignity — a way of maintaining privacy and control. “Ruth’s always been classy,” one viewer noted. “She’s not going to make a public spectacle of taking it off. She’ll do it when she’s ready, in her own time.”

A source close to Ruth agrees, saying, “That ring symbolizes more than just her marriage. It’s a reminder of a life she built with love and hard work. Ruth doesn’t make impulsive decisions — she’s thoughtful and respectful, even when she’s hurting.”

Behind the scenes, those who know her best say Ruth’s biggest focus right now is emotional healing. The split was undoubtedly painful, but she’s channeling her feelings into positive outlets — work, fitness, and friendship.

“Ruth’s got a great circle around her,” an ITV insider shared. “Her Loose Women co-stars, Rylan Clark, and her sister Julia have been her rocks. They’ve kept her laughing, encouraged her to focus on herself, and reminded her that she’s still got so much to look forward to.”

“Fitted by the lovely Lauren (you can also book Kristen) cut and styled by Leo. I’m not good at doing this ‘bendy wave’ stuff so not sure if I’ll keep them this length, but going to give it a whirl!

Ruth Langsford on why she’s still wearing wedding ring after Eamonn split

Since her split, Ruth has been seen still wearing her wedding ring.

Many of her fans have questioned her decision to do this. Until recently, when she finally addressed the decision.

In a video posted on her Instagram recently, Ruth was busy showing fans how she food preps.

“SUNDAY FOOD PREP! Lots of you ask how I make my green juice that I take to work in the mornings… well this is how. It varies depending on what I’ve got in the fridge but you get the jist… easy way to get some fruit and veg down!” she wrote.

Ruth Langsford has always been one of Britain’s most beloved TV personalities — elegant, composed, and effortlessly relatable.

But in the wake of her split from longtime partner and co-host Eamonn Holmes, the Loose Women star is showing a whole new side of herself.

With whispers of “revenge romance,” a striking new makeover, and eagle-eyed fans noticing she’s still wearing her wedding ring in public, the question everyone’s asking is: what’s really going on with Ruth Langsford?

The split from Eamonn Holmes shocked fans earlier this year, ending one of television’s most enduring partnerships after over two decades together. They were the golden couple of British morning television — teasing, bickering, and laughing their way through This Morning and Loose Women appearances.

So when reports surfaced that their marriage had quietly crumbled, many were heartbroken. Insiders say the split didn’t come overnight. “They’d been drifting apart for a while,” a source close to the couple revealed. “Work pressures, Eamonn’s health struggles, and just growing in different directions — it all took a toll.”

Of course, no transformation comes without rumors. In recent weeks, tabloids have speculated that Ruth might be dipping her toes back into the dating pool. One report even hinted at a possible “revenge romance” — though sources close to her have quickly dismissed the idea.

“Ruth’s not interested in jumping into another relationship right now,” one friend clarified. “She’s focused on herself, her son Jack, and her career. But that doesn’t mean she’s not open to happiness down the road.”

Her relationship with Rylan Clark, in particular, has warmed fans’ hearts. The pair, who grew close during their This Morning days, have been seen together at several events since Ruth’s separation. “Ruth adores Rylan,” a friend said. “He’s like a son to her — they’ve always had a special bond.

After everything she’s been through, it’s been a comfort having him by her side.” Their recent reunion at a West End show sparked a flood of emotional comments online, with one viewer posting, “So glad Ruth has Rylan — you can tell he’s helping her smile again.”

Meanwhile, Eamonn Holmes has been facing his own challenges amid the breakup — including ongoing health issues and intense media scrutiny following reports of his close friendship with PR executive Katie Alexander. While Eamonn maintains that nothing inappropriate occurred, the speculation has undeniably strained public perception.

Ruth, for her part, has chosen not to address the rumors directly — a move many see as a sign of quiet strength. “She’s not going to engage in a media back-and-forth,” said one source. “Ruth’s too classy for that.”

That quiet resilience — the mix of vulnerability and grace — is exactly why Ruth Langsford continues to be so adored. Whether she’s striding into the Loose Women studio in another dazzling outfit or sharing a moment of heartfelt honesty on air, she’s proving that heartbreak doesn’t have to break you. It can remake you.

As one longtime friend put it perfectly: “Ruth isn’t chasing revenge or romance. She’s chasing peace — and she’s finally finding it.”

However, some fans couldn’t help but notice that she had her wedding ring on in the video.

“Why has she still got her wedding rings on?” one fan commented.

“Because I’m still married,” Ruth then replied. That’s them told.
