Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have called time on their marriage after almost 14 years, confirming their intention to divorce in May 2024.
"Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing," a spokesperson told HELLO!, while Eamonn later told GB News viewers: "Thank you for your support for Ruth and I as to the news of our separation. Your support to both of us is very much appreciated."
The couple share a son together, Jack, 22, while Eamonn has three children from a previous marriage, Declan, 35, Rebecca, 32, and Niall, 30.
Despite their high profile careers, Ruth and Eamonn's children have chosen to keep largely out of the spotlight throughout their lives. Occasionally, the former couple have chosen to share photographs of their children to mark particularly special milestones, such as Jack's graduation and the day Eamonn became a grandfather for the first time.

Niall, 30

In a 2013 interview with The Guardian, the presenter spoke candidly about the breakdown of his first marriage, and how the pair continue to co-parent their kids."Whatever differences my first wife and I may have had, neither of us ever had any obstruction when it comes to access to the children," he said.
"My heart breaks for anyone who's had to ask permission to see their children or is denied permission to see their children."I never had to experience that and thank God I never had to, because they are everything that I would want to carry on, all that my parents did for me, and the environment that I felt I lived in."
Jack, 22

Talking about her son Jack leaving home, she tearfully told Rosie Nixon, HELLO!'s In A Good Place podcast host: "I would say that first week of not having him at home literally felt like part of my heart had been ripped out.
"I remember coming into his bedroom and crying and getting hold of the pillow, and I could smell him on the pillow, and had a good old cry, and then shutting the door and then that first week was horrendous because I was just so used to having him around."
