Ruth Langsford has had her personal life thrown into the spotlight over recent months since announcing her split from husband Eamonn Holmes, following 14 years of marriage.

And although the pair only called it quits in May, Eamonn has since been linked to his friend Katie Alexander, who was even rumoured to be engaged to the GB News presenter this week as she was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her wedding finger. 

Despite Katie’s denial of any engagement being on the cards, a source tells new that Ruth has been left feeling “embarrassed” over the whole ordeal – and that “tears have been shed”.

The source claimed, “Ruth has been trying her best to be respectful to Eamonn for the sake of both their families and especially [their son] Jack. She is still wearing her wedding ring and doesn’t feel right taking it off at the moment and she wanted to be as respectful as possible and does want to invite any more speculation about their situation. 

“But seeing Eamonn’s new woman apparently wearing an engagement ring over the weekend really upset her, not because of Eamonn moving on, but because she finds it hard having their marriage and split back in the limelight again. She would prefer it was done in private but she understands that there will be interest – it just feels like another blow – and she feels embarrassed about it all.”
