Declan is Eamonn's eldest child with his ex-wife Gabriella, alongside Rebecca, 32, and Niall, 30. He also shares Jack, 22, with his estranged wife, Ruth Langsford.
The couple – who wed in 2010 – announced their decision to separate in May this year. At the time, a spokesperson told HELLO!: "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing."

"When you have children, you look at them starting out in life and just want everything to be good for them, for them to be happy and to not have their hearts broken," she told the publication.
"You can't guarantee any of that, but that's what I want most for Jack."
