Ruth Langsford has opened up about the emotional turmoil she’s been experiencing 

following her split from Eamonn Holmes, revealing the depth of her heartache through tearful late-night phone calls to close friends and family. The television presenter, known for her poised and composed demeanor on screen, shared that the end of her long-term

relationship has been one of the most challenging periods of her life, marked by overwhelming feelings of sadness, confusion, and loneliness.

In a candid interview, Ruth admitted that despite her strong public persona, she’s been struggling privately to cope with the emotional weight of the separation.

The late-night hours, she confessed, are the hardest—when the house is quiet, and the distractions of daily life fade away, leaving her alone with her thoughts.

It’s during these vulnerable moments that she’s found herself reaching for the phone, unable to hold back her tears as she confides in those closest to her.

“These calls often happen when it’s dark, and everything feels more intense,” Ruth shared. “You start replaying memories in your head, wondering what went wrong, and that’s when the sadness really hits.”

She described how the comfort of hearing a familiar voice on the other end of the line has been a lifeline, providing a small but significant source of solace amid her grief.

Ruth’s friends and family have rallied around her during this difficult time, offering unwavering support and a listening ear whenever she needs it.

She spoke about the importance of having people who understand her pain without judgment, simply allowing her to express her emotions freely.

“Sometimes, I don’t even need advice,” she said. “I just need someone to listen while I cry and let it all out.”

Reflecting on her relationship with Eamonn, Ruth acknowledged that the split has been heartbreaking, not only because of the love they once shared but also because of the life they built together over the years. The end of such a significant chapter has left her grappling with a sense of loss that’s hard to put into words.

“It’s not just the person you’re saying goodbye to,” she explained. “It’s the shared memories, the future plans, the little routines that made up your life together.”

Despite the pain, Ruth is determined to find her way through the heartbreak. She’s been focusing on small steps toward healing, such as maintaining a routine, leaning on her support network, and allowing herself to feel every emotion without guilt.

She emphasized that grief isn’t something you can rush through or ignore; it has to be faced head-on, no matter how uncomfortable it may be.

Ruth also spoke about the unexpected moments when the sadness hits the hardest—seeing a photo, hearing a song, or passing a place filled with memories of happier times. “Grief is sneaky,” she said with a bittersweet smile.

“It creeps up on you when you least expect it.” But she’s learning to navigate these waves of emotion, accepting them as part of the healing process.

Through her candid reflections, Ruth hopes to encourage others who might be going through similar experiences to reach out for support and not be afraid to show vulnerability.

“We often feel like we have to be strong all the time, but there’s strength in admitting when you’re hurting,” she said.

Her openness serves as a reminder that even those who seem the most composed can struggle behind closed doors—and that’s okay.

Looking ahead, Ruth is cautiously optimistic about the future. While the pain of the breakup is still fresh, she’s hopeful that with time, the heartache will ease, and she’ll find peace and happiness again.

For now, she’s focusing on self-care, surrounding herself with loved ones, and taking life one day at a time. “I know I’ll get through this,” she said. “It’s just going to take time, and I’m allowing myself that grace.”
