Eamonn and Ruth, who share 22-year-old son Jack, admitted they were ‘in the process of divorcing’ in a joint statement back in May. Eamonn recently discussed his relationship while talking about his GB News co-star Isabel Webster. “She and my wife are incredibly alike,” said the 64-year-old broadcaster, following his comment that Webster “never shuts up”. He went on to liken his Loose Women star wife to a “creature of habit”
“They’re both creatures of habit, like routine and do things the same way every day,” he continued and in a sharp jibe, Eamonn remarked that they both “get on my nerves”. During the same chat with HELLO!, Isabel chimed in, revealing that she and Ruth would often team up against him. “She sends me messages while we’re on air.”
Eamonn and Ruth’s romance began in 1997 after being introduced by friends, leading to over a decade of dating before Eamonn proposed. The couple tied the knot in 2010, but they hadn’t been seen together publicly for two years prior to their split.
