Ruth Langsford addresses rumours about rekindled romance
Television presenter Ruth Langsford spoke out on ITV’s Loose Women after online rumours suggested she had reunited with a childhood sweetheart. The 65-year-old host denied the claims, which quickly went viral following her 2024 separation from broadcaster Eamonn Holmes, her husband of 14 years.
Denial of viral rumours
While anchoring the daytime panel show, Langsford took the opportunity to dismiss the speculation that she had a new partner. Referring to the social media posts circulating online, she described the suggestions as “terrible.”
“Apparently I have a new man. According to this article, that’s all over Facebook and I’ve had friends ringing me up. Apparently, I met this man when we were childhood sweethearts when I grew up in Belfast, which I didn’t, and now it’s come full circle after all these years and we are back together.”
Context on the show segment
Langsford’s comments came as she introduced a discussion topic about whether people should publicly debut their relationships. Co-hosts GK Barry, Denise Welch, and Jane Moore joined the conversation as a large on-screen image appeared behind Ruth, showing a woman and man standing in a park with the caption: “The full story of heartbreak, closure and a love that came full circle.”
Post-divorce spotlight
Since her separation from Eamonn Holmes in 2024, Ruth has kept her personal life largely private. However, the presenter addressed the gossip candidly, clarifying that there is no truth to reports of a rekindled romance.
