Ruth Langsford Unveils Eamonn Holmes’ ‘Little Trick’ – A Cheeky Peek into Their Marriage
Ah, love! It’s a fickle thing, isn’t it? Just ask Ruth Langsford and her soon-to-be ex-hubby, Eamonn Holmes. The pair, who apparently thought they had found the secret recipe for a happy marriage after 14 years, have recently split up, leaving us all wondering what went wrong. With Eamonn now cozying up to his new girlfriend, we’re left with some juicy tidbits to digest!
Recently, a clip resurfaced from Loose Women, where Ruth opened up about an interesting ‘little trick’ Eamonn employed—one that sent her racing up the stairs quicker than a cat on a hot tin roof! Apparently, if he returned home after using her car and had taken the initiative to fill it up with petrol and refill her water bottle, she was ready to embrace him like a long-lost lover.
“Get upstairs right now,” she exclaimed. Well, if that isn’t romance in the 21st century! Who knew a full tank could be quite the aphrodisiac? This isn’t exactly what you’d call candlelight dinner territory, is it? But hey, different strokes for different folks!
Ruth Langsford reveals Eamonn Holmes’ ‘little trick’ he would do to have sex, months before announcing the breakdown of their marriage (pictured 2022).
But as we dig deeper into their relationship, cracks become more discernible than Eamonn’s waistcoat during a particularly bad weather report. By the time of their split, the couple hadn’t been photographed together for two years, and signs of trouble were as clear as a foghorn in the night.
Now, with Eamonn strutting his stuff off with girlfriend Katie Alexander, a relationship therapist no less, it seems our boy is embracing his newfound freedom. Some might say, “Well, that was quick!” Others might mutter, “Isn’t that a bit shady?” Whatever your stance, the couple appears to be enjoying their holiday romance to the fullest, and Ruth? Well, she’s just trying to navigate the soggy socks of heartbreak.
In a heartfelt moment in an interview, Ruth confessed that her biggest fear is not her own heartbreak but rather how it might impact their son, Jack. It’s like living in a sitcom where your main character navigates both the absurdities of life and the emotional tidal waves of motherhood.
Ruth revealed that heartbreak was her biggest fear, but not for her; instead, she feared her son Jack, 22, would have his heart broken.
Ultimately, Ruth wants happiness for Jack. I mean, who wouldn’t? Who knew filling up a petrol tank behind closed doors could lead to such a spectacle of a public divorce? With 14 years of marriage behind them, Eamonn and Ruth might have turned over the last page on yet another chapter of reality TV romance gone awry.
As we close the curtains on this little drama, it’s clear that Eamonn’s ‘little trick’ may have worked wonders in the heat of the moment, but relationships are far more complex than the contents of a petrol tank. Here’s to hoping both find their way to happiness—preferably with less drama and more petrol stations along the journey!
Ruth Langsford has opened up about a peculiar ‘little trick’ used by her ex-husband Eamonn Holmes to ignite their intimate moments, a revelation that came just months prior to the couple confirming the end of their 14-year marriage.
The 64-year-old presenter announced her split from fellow broadcaster Eamonn, who is also 64 and a host on GB News, in May. Their divorce followed years of tumult, during which Eamonn has since moved on to a relationship with Katie Alexander, a 42-year-old relationship counsellor.
In a recently resurfaced segment from the popular talk show Loose Women, Ruth humorously recounted how Eamonn’s thoughtful gestures would prompt her to urgently invite him to their bedroom, declaring: ‘Get upstairs now’.
While discussing whether implementing a sex ban could be effective in relationships, Ruth shared insight into the things that made her tick, stating, ‘You can have all the compliments and the flowers, but if Eamonn comes home having filled up my petrol and done my water bottle, I’m like, “Get upstairs right now”.
She reflected on her dislike for mundane chores, saying, ‘I hate doing it. Literally, I’ll go round with my petrol light on red, the water bottle empty, smeared [windscreen].
‘He knows how to play his cards right; he understands how to nudge my buttons just right to get what he wants,’ she added, showcasing the playful dynamic in their relationship.
Rumors of a serious rift between Eamonn and Ruth had circulated prior to their May split, particularly as they had not been spotted together in public for the past two years, suggesting that significant cracks had begun to form in their once-unbreakable bond.
Eamonn has been public about his new romance with Katie Alexander since the divorce, and the couple recently enjoyed a luxurious getaway together, further solidifying their relationship.
Their flirtations reportedly began through social media more than a decade ago, as both were married at the time, which adds a layer of complexity to their current relationship. Katie’s former husband even humorously noted how he believed his wife was ‘flirting’ with Eamonn, sharing a common ground over their love for Manchester United.
In a candid moment, Ruth expressed her concerns about heartbreak—not for herself, but for her son Jack, aged 22. She revealed, ‘When you have children, you look at them starting out in life and just want everything to be good for them, for them to be happy and to not have their hearts broken.’
Collectively, Ruth and Eamonn share Jack and together with Eamonn’s children from his previous marriage—Declan, 35, Rebecca, 32, and Niall, 30—they represent a blended family shaped by both joy and heartbreak.
**Interview: Ruth Langsford on Eamonn Holmes’ ‘Little Trick’**
**Host**: Welcome, Ruth! It’s a pleasure to have you here today. Your recent revelation about Eamonn’s ‘little trick’ has certainly grabbed the headlines. Can you tell us a bit about that moment on **Loose Women**?
**Ruth Langsford**: Thank you for having me! Yes, it was a bit of a cheeky moment. I was reminiscing about what sparked those intimate moments in our marriage. I jokingly mentioned how Eamonn filling up my petrol and refreshing my water bottle made me feel loved and appreciated. It was like a secret code between us that really worked!
**Host**: That’s quite an unconventional way to stoke the fires of romance! Did it really have that much of an effect on your relationship?
**Ruth**: Absolutely! I think it highlighted how the little things can mean so much. It’s not always about grand gestures; sometimes, it’s just about showing you care in everyday life. When Eamonn went the extra mile to do something I dreaded, it made me feel special.
**Host**: It sounds like a simple yet effective trick. In light of your recent split, how do you feel looking back on that time?
**Ruth**: It’s bittersweet, to be honest. Those memories bring a smile, but they also remind me of the changes we’ve gone through. We had some wonderful times together, but not everything lasts, and sometimes things just don’t work out.
**Host**: You have spoken openly about your fears regarding how this change might impact your son, Jack. How do you navigate that?
**Ruth**: My main concern is always Jack. He’s 22, but as a parent, you never stop worrying about your child. I just want to make sure that whatever happens, he feels loved and supported. We’re handling this as best we can.
**Host**: With Eamonn now in a new relationship, how are you coping with the transition?
**Ruth**: It’s a learning process for sure. Seeing Eamonn move on has its moments—both easy and challenging. But I’m focused on finding my own happiness and supporting Jack through this transition as well.
**Host**: Wise words, Ruth. what do you hope for yourself and for Eamonn?
**Ruth**: Ultimately, I just want both of us to find happiness. Relationships can be complex, and while our romantic chapter together may be closing, life goes on. Here’s hoping we both find joy in new beginnings.
**Host**: Thank you, Ruth, for sharing your thoughts and experiences. We wish you all the best on your journey ahead!
