Quick Summary

Ruth Langsford is reportedly caring for her ex-partner Eamonn Holmes in the hospital as he recovers from an illness that left him "slumped and out cold" at home. Holmes' girlfriend, Katie Alexander, has moved out of their rented flat following the split between Holmes and Langsford. The couple was due to appear in court over a £10 million fortune division but it is unclear if this will still happen. Langsford and Holmes’ children have united to support him during his health crisis, despite previous tensions among them.

Story summary

Eamonn Holmes, a former TV presenter at ITV's This Morning, is recuperating from a stroke that occurred six months ago. His ex-wife Ruth Langsford and his first wife Gabrielle Holmes are supporting him during this time despite their tumultuous past, including a bitter divorce two years prior. Langsford has been caring for the 66-year-old since he suffered the stroke, while Gabrielle, with whom Holmes has three children (Declan, Rebecca, and Niall), is also offering support. Both ex-wives were reportedly brought together by Holmes' adult children to assist him during his vulnerable state. This unexpected reconciliation includes the departure of Holmes’ current girlfriend, Katie Alexander, from their shared home in Kingston, southwest London. The divorce proceedings between Holmes and Langsford, involving a £10 million fortune, are scheduled for November but it is uncertain if they will still proceed given the recent developments.
