Ruth Langsford shows off glam hair transformation as ex Eamonn enjoys romantic date with younger girlfriend
RUTH Langsford has shown off her glam hair transformation as her ex Eamonn Holmes enjoyed a romantic date with his younger girlfriend.
The 64-year-old looked very glam as she sat in the salon chair and filmed her hairdresser working his magic on her locks.
Loose Women star Ruth penned: “The master at work,” as she filmed with her orange iPhone.
Ruth looked very pleased with herself as she smiled away in the clip, while showing off her very chic hair style.
It came as Ruth’s ex Eamonn Holmes enjoyed a lunch with his younger girlfriend Katie.
The presenter, 64, has been sharing glimpses of his life since his split from fellow TV star wife Ruth Langsford.
Eamonn, who has moved on with new girlfriend Katie Alexander, posed for a picture at the Manchester United grounds not far from her home.
He captioned the snap: “Some superb company for lunch.”
But for some, Eamonn’s appearance sparked concern and his followers noticed a misshapen detail, insisting that he has been using photo filters to change his looks.
One follower replied to his post: “Oh Eamonn, that does not look like you please stop using filters” as one more said “what in the face app is going on?”
One more wanted to know: “Why do you look younger here than on TV?” and another asked: “Why are you messing with your face?”
However, others shared compliments for Eamonn, with one writing: “Such a handsome man x”
Ruth and Eamonn announced they were breaking up in May after 23 years together and 14 years of marriage.
It was later revealed they had been secretly separated for up to a year before it was made public and they filed for divorce.
Ruth and Eamonn's relationship timeline
Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.
Here’s how their romance played out…
1997 – The couple first meet after being introduced by mutual friends, two years after Eamonn splits from his first wife, Gabrielle, with whom he has three children.
1997-2002 – To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: “I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less.”
2002 – Ruth and Eamonn welcome their son, Jack, to the family.
2005 – Eamonn finalises his divorce with Gabrielle.
2006 – The pair begin to host Friday episodes of This Morning together.
2010 – Eamonn proposes to Ruth while at the Cheltenham Races, after asking Ruth’s mother for her hand.
June 2010 – Eamonn and Ruth marry at Elvetham Hall, Hampshire.
2016 – Eamonn undergoes a double hip replacement in the first of many health battles.
June 2019 – On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits “compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal,” while Ruth said it was “laughter and an equal marriage”.
November 2020 – Ruth and Eamonn are replaced on their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary in a ‘show shake-up’.
December 2021 – After a year of being moved to the bank holiday presenting slot, both Eamonn and Ruth left This Morning.
January 2022 – Eamonn debuted on GB News, while Ruth stayed with ITV in her long-standing role on Loose Women.
September 2022 – Eamonn undergoes spinal surgery after years of back issues including a trapped sciatic nerve.
November 2022 – Eamonn falls down the stairs of his Surrey home with Ruth and breaks his shoulder, requiring a new operation.
September 2023 – Eamonn has a spine and neck stretching procedure as part of his year-long recovery.
May 2024 – Ruth and Eamonn announce they have split after 14 years of marriage and a 27-year relationship.
September 2024 – Eamonn was spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls in a ‘fierce’ divorce lawyer.
Neither party have removed their wedding ring.
Insiders suggest Ruth came up with a special brand of revenge for Eamonn wasting no time in flaunting his new relationship by removing the stairlift from their Surrey home so he couldn’t collect his things.
He has also been bombarded with rude comments after heading on a cruise with his new partner.
Going on a flashy holiday, so soon after the breakdown of his marriage and in the wake of his wife Ruth discovering messages between him and another woman, has been slammed as “cruel” by his followers.
Especially as his new partner Katie, a 42-year-old relationship counsellor, is thought to be the same woman who was exchanging messages with Eamonn, 64.
