Eamonn Holmes Hit with Divorce Bombshell as Ruth Langsford’s Lawyers Expose ‘Flirty Texts’

Ruth Langsford’s legal team is meticulously assembling a detailed timeline of Eamonn Holmes’ relationship with Katie Alexander in preparation for divorce discussions. This move comes after recent revelations suggesting that Eamonn, 64, and Katie, 43, first connected online over a decade ago, allegedly exchanging flirtatious messages at the time.

Insiders close to the estranged couple report that Ruth’s lawyers are gathering specific dates and timestamps related to the beginnings of Eamonn’s new relationship. They’re reportedly prepared to speak with Katie’s former husband, George, if needed, to clarify details of the initial interactions between Eamonn and Katie.

A source told The Mirror, “Ruth’s legal team is compiling a forensically detailed account of Eamonn’s relationship with Katie and when it started. Ruth’s team is doing their due diligence ahead of the divorce proceedings and is prepared to speak to people in Ruth and Eamonn’s wider circle.”

Last week, it was reported that Eamonn and Katie had exchanged flirty messages online around 12 years ago. In a twist, Katie’s then-husband, George, even chimed in on the conversation, allegedly joking, “Think she’s flirting with you.”

Following these revelations, Eamonn and Katie reportedly reached out to their former partners, assuring them that their relationship only began once both were definitively separated from their previous marriages. The source explained, “Katie and Eamonn have been scrambling to tell their respective exes that they were not romantically involved way back then.”

The news has shaken the media, as Ruth and Eamonn—who share a 22-year-old son, Jack—announced their separation after 14 years of marriage. In a joint statement, they confirmed, “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over, and they are in the process of divorcing.”

Reports reveal that Ruth has enlisted top divorce solicitor Catherine Costley, who trained under renowned lawyer Baroness Fiona Shackleton, famous for representing high-profile clients, including members of the British royal family.

Eamonn made his first public appearance with Katie at the Irish Post Awards earlier this week, fueling speculation and interest around the timeline of their relationship. Meanwhile, Ruth has maintained a sense of humor amid the drama, recently joking on Loose Women about “throwing out a lot of stuff at the minute,” which drew laughs from the studio audience.

With each party focusing on managing their public personas, Ruth’s legal team is laying the groundwork for what could be a high-profile divorce case, set against the backdrop of media scrutiny and unresolved questions about when Eamonn’s new romance truly began.
