Kéllé Bryan has been accused of “trolling” Ruth Lansford about her split as she spoke about remaining friends with an ex after a break-up on Loose Women.

Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes ,both 64, shared their plans to divorce in May, and it later emerged that he was dating relationship therapist Katie Alexander, 42.

On Monday’s episode of Loose Women, the panel, including Ruth, Kéllé, Coleen Nolan, and Kelly Holmes, discussed finding someone you know will be a lifelong friend as they discussed Dame Judi Dench and Jay Blade’s unlikely friendship.

While most of the panel discussed keeping in touch with long-time school friends, Kéllé began to discuss maintaining a friendship with an ex-partner.

Although the Eternal singer meant no ill will with her words, the audience at home felt uncomfortable listening to her speak on this subject in front of Ruth.

Viewers called her out for discussing the sensitive subject as Ruth is going through a high profile break-up and still wears her wedding ring.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, they made their feelings about Kéllé’s words clear.

One said: “Is Bryant trolling Ruth regarding her recent breakup??” (sic) A second commented: “Oops Kelle, talking about being friends after break ups.” 9sic)

Another remarked: “Oh remained friends after a break up Ruth.” (sic)

Sharing her thoughts on relationships, Kéllé said: “It’s quite unique when you date someone or have a relationship with somebody and then you go on to have a friendship after that.

“That’s quite a unique thing, especially if you’ve shared quite a lot during that relationship.

“Sometimes breakups can be quite nasty and you go your own way, but if you can find your way back or have something that keeps you in common, and you still remain friends after that relationship has broken up, there’s something about the longevity of that…

“The jokes, the laughter, the things that you’ve shared, the experiences that only you two have had., for me that’s a [powerful thing.”

Meanwhile, Ruth shared her love of her old school pals, who’ve been by her side for over 50 years, remarking: “They have been there through thick and thin, all of us has had something happened in our lives.”

Following her split from husband and fellow TV star Eamonn Holmes, the ITV presenter revealed to her followers that she had decided to change her hair and opt for longer locks.

Taking to social media, Ruth informed fans that she had taken their advice and wanted to experiment with adding a few extra inches to her hair extensions.

She shared a video of the process, writing in the caption: “Extensions time again! @leobancroft salon. Decided to keep them a bit longer this time (lots of you told me to last time! ) Fitted by the lovely Lauren (you can also book Kristen) cut and styled by Leo.”
In the world of relationships, there are many different dynamics at play. One aspect that seems to always spark debate is whether or not it is possible to remain friends with an ex-partner.

For some, the idea of maintaining a friendship with someone you once had a romantic connection with is a foreign concept. However, for others, it is a natural progression that allows for continued connection and shared experiences.

Kéllé Bryan, known for her time in the group Eternal, brought this topic to light during a recent episode of Loose Women. As the panel discussed the importance of finding lifelong friends, Kéllé shared her perspective on maintaining friendships with ex-partners.

She spoke of the uniqueness of being able to transition from a romantic relationship to a platonic friendship, highlighting the value of shared jokes, laughter, and experiences.

While Kéllé’s intentions may have been innocent, some viewers took issue with her timing, considering Ruth Langsford’s recent high-profile split from Eamonn Holmes.

Ruth, who has been leaning on her long-time school friends for support during this difficult time, has been open about the challenges of navigating a public breakup.

Despite the controversy surrounding the topic, it is clear that every individual approaches relationships and breakups differently. For some, the idea of maintaining a friendship with an ex-partner may offer a sense of closure and continuity. For others, it may be a boundary that is best left unexplored.

Ultimately, the key to navigating post-breakup friendships lies in open communication, mutual respect, and a shared understanding of boundaries.

Whether you choose to remain friends with an ex-partner or opt for a clean break, it is important to prioritize your own emotional well-being and do what feels right for you.

As we continue to explore the complexities of relationships and breakups, it is essential to remember that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Each individual must navigate these waters in a way that feels authentic and true to their own personal journey.

And in the end, the most important thing is to prioritize self-care, self-respect, and healthy boundaries.
