Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes were together for 28 years and during the course of their relationship, the couple welcomed their son, Jack.
Ruth and Eamonn split earlier this year, and the Loose Women star has now addressed her hopes for Jack's future. She told Woman & Home that she wished "happiness" for her son's future. "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.
The presenter added: "You can't guarantee any of that, but that's what I want most for Jack."
Ruth is incredibly close to her 22-year-old son and last month, Jack treated his beloved mum to a special treat. The 64-year-old took to Instagram to share a video as she tucked into an Indian takeaway, courtesy of Jack.

The mum-of-one once tearfully admitted on HELLO!'s A Good Place podcast that she missed her son when he moved out of the family home to head to university.

Ruth and Eamonn confirmed their split back in May. A spokesperson told HELLO! at the time: "Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing."
