Ruth Langsford remains ‘quiet and classy’ amid ‘fierce’ Eamonn Holmes split

It appears Ruth Langsford may have found a subtle way to get back at her former husband, Eamonn Holmes, following their surprising split earlier this year. According to DailyMail, the couple, who had been married for 14 years, parted ways due to growing apart from each other as their work commitments led them in “different directions.”

While the pair have kept their breakup relatively private, it seems Holmes, 64, has moved on with a 42-year-old girlfriend, and the two were spotted enjoying a romantic holiday together.

Despite the split, a source revealed that Ruth has handled the situation with grace. “Ruth has remained quiet and classy. Even when people bring up what Eamonn has been up to, she stays silent and just smiles. She thinks that is the best way. She has had a lot of support from her friends,” the source shared.

However, there’s one detail from their shared home that seemed to offer Langsford an unexpected opportunity for a little payback: the stairlift that Eamonn had installed for his own use. “Ruth doesn’t need it,” the insider explained. “She’s super fit and healthy, but she knew Eamonn would likely struggle when he had to return to the house to gather some things he needed for the holiday. The bedrooms are upstairs, and he needed to get to them.”

According to the source, Eamonn may have anticipated an easy visit, assuming he could use the stairlift to quickly grab his belongings. “You can imagine how furious Eamonn was,” the insider added. “He was probably expecting to use the stairlift, get his stuff, and get out quickly to pack for his holiday.”

Langsford’s decision to remove the stairlift, although small, seems to be a quiet statement amid their public breakup, showcasing that she’s moving forward in her own way.
