Editor17:12, 31 May 2025(Image: Ruth Langsford Instagram) Ruth Langsford has reportedly taken fresh action in her divorce from Eamonn Holmes.

The former couple, who used to present This Morning together, stunned their followers when they announced their separation in May 2024.

‌ According to The Sun, legal moves have now allowed Loose Women star Ruth to sever the joint tenancy arrangement concerning their home.

‌ It is believed that under this new agreement, should Ruth, 65, unfortunately pass away, Eamonn would no longer inherit her portion of the property.

The Sun's article included insights from Sarah Dwight, a representative from the Law Society, who explained: "There are different ways to own a property. You can do so as joint tenants,

which means it is 50/50 split.

"This applies even if one partner has left their share to children from a previous relationship - the other partner would still get it.

"One of the first things divorce lawyers do is to give their clients the option to sever the joint tenancy, so they can leave their share of the house to whoever they want.

‌ "This move protects Ruth in that if she were to die, she can leave her wealth to whoever she wants, rather than Eamonn getting everything."

It comes as Eamonn, 65, and new partner Katie Alexander showed their affection for each other in photos shared by Katie, 43, on social media.

Eamonn was seen looking cosy with his girlfriend, a mum-of-two, amid his ongoing divorce proceedings.
