Ruth Langsford was forced to defend herself this week when questioned by fans about why she's still wearing her wedding ring.
The Loose Women and former This Morning presenter – who is living her best single life after confirming her split from husband of 14 years, Eamonn Holmes, in May – took to Instagram to reveal her healthy green juice recipe. Ruth, 64, filmed herself at her family home, putting her go-to ingredients in a blender – with her sparkling silver engagement ring and wedding band on full display.
One fan queried: "Why has she still got her wedding rings on?," prompting a mass response from Ruth's loyal supporters.
Among the scandalised comments, Ruth replied: "Because I’m still married," putting an end to all speculation. "My mum still wears her wedding ring and divorced my dad 17 years ago," another fan pointed out.
The smoothie, meanwhile, looked absolutely delicious. Ruth blended a host of nutrient-rich ingredients including spinach leaves, fresh ginger, and mint to create the ultimate pick-me-up morning drink.
And with her newly lengthened and lightened locks following her recent extension appointment, the mother-of-one is looking fit and fabulous.
Ruth and Eamonn's marriage split
It's clear that Ruth and her husband Eamonn, who are parents to 22-year-old student Jack, have ended their romance on good terms.
A spokesperson told HELLO! when the news broke: "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing."
The former couple, who were a popular addition to This Morning's hosting roster between 2006 and 2021, started dating in 1997 and walked down the aisle in 2010.
They hadn't been seen out in public together for the past two years, largely due to Eamonn's ongoing health struggles and mobility issues.
The GB News presenter underwent a double-hip replacement surgery in 2019 after enduring years of acute pain, but suffered a further setback with three slipped disks in 2021.
