ITV presenter Ruth Langsfordhas shared how she was ‘overwhelmed by sorrow’ after herdivorce from Eamonn Holmes.
The Loose Womenstar, 65, was involved in a romantic relationship with herThis Morningco-host, with whom she has a son, for 27 years before she was ‘surprised’ by theirshocking separation in May 2024.
Following 14 years of marriage, Eamonn started a relationship with counsellor Katie Alexandar within a few weeks.
Currently, the 65-year-old woman has described how she has been ‘devastated and shattered’ by her ‘joyful marriage’ ending suddenly.
Speaking to the Daily Mail’s Weekend Magazine, Ruth said that a counselor told her: ‘This is grief. This is trauma, and you are in shock. Let everything out.’
She added, “In my view, I had a very joyful marriage. Naturally, you might wonder: did I overlook something, was I not attentive, was I too preoccupied? But it’s pointless to engage in finger-pointing.”
I never expected to end up here, and I wasn’t resilient from the beginning. I was shattered. A broken heart. Broken aspirations.
We all envision how we believe our life and future will unfold. This was not what I had imagined. I was deeply upset. We had transitioned from being a couple, experiencing the typical highs and lows of marriage, to a sudden conclusion. It came as a major shock.
The speaker also mentioned that she started to ‘catastrophize,’ stating, ‘I’m going to be alone, I don’t have a partner, what will I do? I was literally asking, “What’s going to happen to me?” like a sad, lonely woman in a Jane Austen novel.
But then, age and experience advised me, ‘Ruth, you won’t die from this. I mean, you will die someday, but not from a divorce.’
After her divorce, Ruth has written her first book, Feeling Fabulous, and continued to excel in her career.
As the year came to a close, she shared how she turned to therapy following her separation from Eamonn, which assisted her in dealing with the situation and progressing in life.
Talking about the emotional difficulties and the clarity that therapy provided after her marriage ended, Ruth mentioned she now feels more empowered and self-reliant.
“I began counseling after Eamonn and I split up, and I continue to attend sessions. It has been extremely impactful and beneficial. It provides me with strategies to manage challenges,” she said.Woman & Home.
My therapist might have seen us on television, but she doesn’t know either of us, so she doesn’t interfere or make judgments. She simply listens and asks: ‘Have you considered this?’ or ‘Why did you feel that way?’
I believe I understand myself quite well, so it has been soothing. It makes me reflect on my emotions. When my sister passed away, friends recommended therapy, and I responded: ‘I don’t [want] just [for someone] to inform me that I’m truly sad,’ and I still feel that way.
