Ruth Langsford has 'moved on' from Eamonn Holmes leaving her ex-partner "angry and jealous", according to insiders. The couple's unexpected split announcement in May took fans by surprise. Now, sources suggest that Ruth, who has been telling friends that "life begins after divorce," is looking forward to the next chapter as her divorce from Eamonn approaches.
An insider revealed this week: "Ruth's sass is definitely back. She's ready for exciting new adventures and a new man – if and when it's on her terms – but for now, she's not overly fussed about jumping into anyone's bed but her own. "Girls' nights out and piña coladas are filling the void.
Her friends are like her armour and they give great advice." However, her eagerness to move forward is allegedly causing Eamonn some distress. "Eamonn is just angry and jealous – he's brought this all on himself but Ruth is keeping dignified," they added to Closer.
Eamonn was reportedly "seething and hurt" over Ruth's appearance on I'm A Celeb, according to another source. Ruth, 64, was all smiles when she arrived in Australia earlier this month to participate in the Unpacked spin-off. However, Eamonn was said to be far from pleased when he found out about her trip.
Another source shared: "Eamonn is seething about Ruth going to the jungle as she never wanted to go away with him. She told him she hated flying! He'd always dreamed of taking her on some special trips, places they could explore and enjoy together, but every time he suggested it, she shot the idea down. "Now, all of a sudden, she's more than happy to hop on a plane for 22 hours each way to the other side of the world! It's left him feeling completely baffled and a bit hurt, to be honest.
"It's rubbed him up the wrong way because it feels like she's willing to do it for the show but not for him." Following their unexpected decision to end their 14-year marriage, the couple is reportedly aiming for a swift divorce in the new year. Another insider told The Sun: "The aim is for Eamonn and Ruth to resolve their divorce as quickly as possible in the New Year.
Ruth is keen to stay in their marital home as it is where she is settled. Eamonn, on the other hand, wants to get out and make a fresh start. They aren't dragging their heels and want this settled and done as quickly as possible.
" In the meantime, Eamonn and Katie have sparked rumours of marriage following a recent trip to Paris. The pair were photographed outside the Louvre last week, with Eamonn seen in a mobility chair and Katie donning a faux leather coat. Katie was also spotted wearing a sparkling ring on her engagement finger, leading to speculation that Eamonn may be planning to propose.
Ruth's legal team is reportedly putting together a comprehensive timeline of Eamonn's new relationship as they gear up for the forthcoming divorce talks. A source disclosed to the Mirror: "Ruth's legal team are compiling a forensically detailed account of Eamonn's relationship with Katie and when it started. Ruth's team are doing their due diligence ahead of the divorce proceedings.
They are prepared to speak to people in Ruth and Eamonn's wider circle. "Katie and Eamonn have been scrambling around to tell their respective exes that they were not romantically involved way back then." It's said that Ruth has engaged the expertise of esteemed divorce lawyer Catherine Costley, who commands a fee of £400 per hour.
Costley has previously collaborated with the famed divorce solicitor Baroness Fiona Shackleton, who has represented notable figures such as the King in his divorce from Princess Diana and Sir Paul McCartney..
