A source tells new that Ruth Langsford fears for her ex Eamonn Holmes as he struggles with his mobility — and an expert says her response isn't surprising

Their split last year after 14 years of marriage shocked many, but Ruth Langsford has clearly moved on from the heartache of parting ways with Eamonn Holmes and is living her best life.

However, those close to the 65-year-old Loose Women star maintain her concerns for Eamonn Holmes haven't simply vanished, especially now, as Eamonn seems to be struggling with poor health.

According to reports, Eamonn has been having increasing health problems at GB News, where he co-hosts the Breakfast slot with Ellie Costello. A source told a newspaper that he was being “wheeled in and out of the studio” amid ongoing back problems and mobility issues. The presenter even sparked concern recently by going “missing” from his usual presenting duties one day on the news channel.

Now, a source claims to new that, “Ruth honestly doesn’t talk about Eamonn, she’s really moved on from that part of her life. But of course, she does care about him, because they share a child and they were married for a long time.”

The source adds that, despite feeling “sad” that her ex is struggling, Ruth is staying strong and focusing on herself. “She has seen that he is struggling, and it's sad to see anyone in that situation. Of course, she fears for him and doesn’t want to think of Eamonn battling with his health — but she has to focus on herself and her own life now.”
