Eamonn Holmes shares tribute to his dog Maggie after custody battle with his ex-wife Ruth Langsford over the  beloved pet in their bitter divorce

by

On Sunday, Eamonn Holmes paid a heartfelt homage to his beloved dog Maggie, following a custody dispute that arose during his challenging divorce from Ruth Langsford.

Last year, the once-beloved duo of television stunned the nation by revealing their decision to divorce, following a 14-year marriage.

In the process of splitting up, it was reported that they were embroiled in a dispute about who would have custody of their cherished dog.

Eamonn, aged 65, posted two photos showing him with his Border Collie mix companion, whom he and his ex-partner adopted in 2011. The images were taken nearly twenty years apart.

He wrote: ’17 years apart …… and we are both still going – JUST.’

On a routine basis, Ruth frequently posts snapshots of life with Maggie at home, while it’s unclear what exact care-taking plan they have for Maggie. Earlier this year, Eamonn uploaded a video showing him spending quality time with the dog.

Previously, a source shared with The Sun that Maggie holds a special place in their hearts, almost like a cherished daughter. They adore her dearly, but they are aware of her advancing age and understand that she requires a sense of security and stability.

The source stated: ‘It’s about finding someone capable of providing stability for Maggie. Eamonn deeply cares for her, and she has been an incredible support during his health issues. The idea of letting her go is incredibly painful for him.’

If Ruth can increase her outdoor activities and walking, there’s a good chance she could manage to take care of Maggie on her own.

Eamonn’s followers expressed curiosity about his relationship with Maggie and posed questions like, “Are you still in touch with Maggie?” and “I hope you two can be together.” (Informal)

Others, meanwhile, said that Eamonn was lucky to have spent so long with his dog.

They wrote: “Still fortunate to have Maggie with us after all these years.” // “Looking at her, seems like she’s 17 and thriving remarkably well.

The article appears shortly following the alleged harsh remark Eamonn made towards Ruth, as he enthusiastically spoke about his new partner, Katie Alexander.

As a lifestyle aficionado, I am delighted to share that my personal journey took an exciting turn in the year 2024, post my divorce from Ruth at the age of 65. After fourteen years of shared marital bliss and twenty years as a couple, our paths diverged. However, the universe had other plans, as I found myself embracing love once more with Katie, who graced my life at the ripe age of 43. This new chapter brings fresh hope and happiness into my world.

Eamonn and Katie haven’t hidden their affection for each other, and they appeared to be deeply in love at the recent engagement party of GB News personality, Nana Akua.

At the lavish gathering, it appears that Eamonn made a subtle remark about his former spouse Ruth during their conversation about his budding new romance, as reported by Bella Magazine.

Eamonn was said to have referred to Katie as his “deeply connected one,” preceding his statement with, “‘It’s in challenging times that you discover who stands by your side.’

I myself have learned from a trusted source that Eamonn made an inconsiderate remark, yet he is deeply smitten with Katie and genuinely feels she has stood by his side during tough times.

Instead, it’s quite unfair on Ruth, considering she’s stood by his side from the very start.

Eamonn has faced several health challenges over the past few years, such as undergoing a double hip replacement, experiencing slipped discs, and dealing with persistent issues related to his spine.

TopMob has contacted Eamonn’s representatives for comment.

Last summer, Eamonn and Katie developed a strong bond and started dating not long after. By December, there were whispers about the possibility of an engagement.
