Ruth Langsford, known from Loose Women, has publicly denied online rumours claiming she has reunited with a childhood sweetheart. The speculation surfaced after her 2024 split from GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes, with whom she shared 14 years of marriage.
While hosting an episode of Loose Women, Ruth, 65, dismissed the viral claims as “terrible” suggestions circulating on social media. She expressed frustration over friends contacting her about the false story.
During a discussion about publicly announcing relationships, Ruth displayed an image behind her showing a woman beside a man in a park. The caption read:
“The full story of heartbreak, closure and a love that came full circle.”
Ruth commented on the image with disbelief:
“Apparently I have a new man. According to this article, that’s all over Facebook and I’ve had friends ringing me up. Apparently I met this man when we were childhood sweethearts when I grew up in Belfast, which I didn’t, and now it’s come full circle after all these years and we are back together.”
Ruth Langsford firmly rejects the false story about reuniting with a childhood sweetheart, clarifying the misinformation publicly on Loose Women.
