Ruth Langsford credits therapy with helping her through a difficult time after her separation from Eamonn Holmes, calling it the most beneficial thing she’s ever done.
The former couple, who share a son called Jack, separated in May 2024 after 14 years of marriage.
Ruth Langsford, 65, a star on the show Loose Women, has revealed she sought therapy to cope with a difficult period in her life.
In a conversation with Rylan Clark on BBC Radio 2, she shared that receiving counseling was the most beneficial thing she’s ever done.
A friend suggested I consider talking to their counselor because some issues had arisen.
She’d previously supported her friend through a tough divorce. When I said I didn’t need therapy because I was already feeling down, she explained it was about much more than just sadness.
Ruth went on to explain that the woman kept persistently asking her, and eventually, just to get some peace and quiet, Ruth finally agreed. She simply said, “Okay, fine.”
Joining this group is the best decision I’ve ever made, and I’m still actively involved. My friends are incredibly supportive – they always have my back, no matter what I choose or how I’m feeling, and they help me through everything.
A counselor takes a broader perspective and doesn’t offer direct advice. She’s never told me what to do, but instead helps me explore different ways of thinking about my problems.
‘Lots of people have picked up on this saying that she said to me, which was, “Find your light”.
Everything felt hopeless, but she told me to channel my anger and sadness, to use those difficult feelings to rediscover my inner strength.
Oh my gosh, you guys, it’s just… everything with Ruth and Eamonn is still so raw! She was back on This Morning last Monday, and honestly, my heart broke watching her. She finally talked about what’s been the absolute hardest part of their split, and it was just… devastating. I feel like I was right there with her, you know?
The celebrity rejoined Cat Deeley, 49, and Ben Shephard, 51, on the sofa to discuss her latest book, Feeling Fabulous.
TV favourite Ruth used to present the ITV show every Friday alongside Eamonn between 2006 and 2021.
In 2024, the couple surprised their fans by announcing their separation after 14 years of being married.
Ben mentioned that she also discusses her heartbreak and the very public failure of her relationship.
Ruth shared that she was back in the studio where she and Eamonn had worked together for a long time, and she was pleased to be there.
It’s tough when something ends, but it’s even harder when it happens so publicly.
‘And that just goes with the territory, that just goes with the job. I accept that.
I don’t talk about the details of my divorce or past relationship. What I do focus on is resilience – getting back on your feet and beginning a new chapter, just like the song suggests.
In 2024 the two revealed that they had split.
A representative for Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes has announced that they are separating and will be getting a divorce.
I was so sad to hear about Eamonn and Ruth. They’ve been together for ages – 13 years before they even got married in 2010! But they’ve both said they’re really committed to remaining friends and keeping things peaceful, which is good to hear, honestly.
Earlier this month Ruth opened up on her nerves about getting intimate with a new partner.
Oh my gosh, did you hear what Nadia Sawalha said? Apparently, she needs complete darkness before she can even think about getting close to someone new! Like, total blackout conditions! It’s just…so her, you know? I mean, she’s so real and honest, and I totally get it! It’s just… fascinating to me, honestly. I’ve been following her for years, and this just adds another layer to how much I adore her. It’s just…everything about her is amazing!
Ruth admitted she wasn’t very confident when it came to physical intimacy, and would definitely feel worried about being close to a new partner.
I totally understood what she meant when she said she wasn’t going to rush things. She explained it perfectly – it’s like, you wouldn’t just immediately reveal everything all at once, you’d ease into it. It felt really relatable and honest.
Honestly, I’ve been following Ruth since the news about her and Eamonn broke – it was so sad after all those years together, 27 in total! And it seems like she’s been on her own ever since, which, you know, I totally respect, but I just keep hoping she finds happiness again. It’s been a while now, 14 years they were actually married, and I just want the best for her!
Eamonn quickly began a new relationship with Katie Alexander, a 44-year-old relationship counsellor who is 22 years younger than him.
