Ruth Langsford spent a quiet Christmas Day at home while her ex-husband Eamonn Holmes made a significant journey to be with his new partner, Katie Alexander. The couple announced their divorce back in May, and it seems both have taken different paths since. Reports indicate that Eamonn traveled over four hours to visit Katie up north, showcasing the new romance publicly.
On her social media, Ruth, 64, gave fans a peek into her holiday preparations, sharing a picture of her beautifully set dining table and mentioning her annual tradition of getting ready for Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve. This year, she opted for a festive red and gold theme. Meanwhile, Eamonn, 65, chose to spend the festive day with Katie, who has also welcomed him into her life by introducing him to her two younger children.
Ruth enjoyed a cozy Christmas with her beloved dog, Maggie. She posted about Maggie’s presents and their subsequent walk, highlighting her time spent in a peaceful setting. Later in the evening, Ruth indulged in watching the highly-anticipated Gavin and Stacey Christmas special, expressing her delight with laughter and tears on her Instagram Stories as she admitted to being emotionally moved by the episode.
In contrast, Eamonn’s Christmas was marked by his visit to Katie’s home after a lengthy drive from London. Witnesses noted that Katie assisted him out of the car, underscoring the supportive nature of their relationship. Sources have revealed that while Eamonn has met Katie’s children before, showing up for the festive occasion was still a bit daunting for him. He plans to remain in Yorkshire for a few days before returning to his bachelor pad.
On a more personal note, Ruth has faced challenges, including her mother Joan’s hospitalization after a fall that resulted in a fracture just before the holidays. In a touching gesture, Ruth shared her decision to bring some homemade Christmas cake to her mother, reminding everyone of the importance of family during the festive season.
As the holiday wraps up, fans have been left wondering how both Ruth and Eamonn will navigate their new lives moving forward. How did you celebrate Christmas? Share your thoughts with us.
