Reports have suggested that Ruth Langsford could win full custody of the dog she shares with soon-to-be ex-husband Eamonn Holmes after their divorce plans were revealed
Eamonn Holmes is facing even more heartache following his shock split from wife Ruth Langsford – as he is tipped to lose access to their pet dog.
Fans of the 64-year-old GB News presenter and wife of 14-years Ruth, also 64, were stunned this Bank Holiday weekend as new broke their marriage is over. Even more shocking are reports that the couple called time on their relationship two years ago but kept the break-up a closely guarded secret.
Now reports have suggested that Ruth will take 14-year-old dog Maggie with her following the split, leaving Eamonn dogless. While Eamonn and Ruth are parents to 22-year-old son Jack, they are believed to consider Maggie as being like a second child.
Taking to social media on Sunday in the aftermath of the bombshell split news, Ruth shared a short clip of herself walking the Collie cross along a stretch of grass. Friends have claimed Eamonn and Ruth are set to face “difficult conversations” about who should have custody of the pet.

A source told The Sun that Eamonn’s recent health issues could have an impact on who keeps the dog, claiming: “Maggie is like a daughter to them. They dote on her. But she’s getting on and they know she needs stability. It’s a case of who can give her that. Eamonn adores her and Maggie’s been such a support during his health woes.
“The thought of giving her up is heartbreaking to him. But if Ruth is able to get out and about and walk her more, then it may well be that she gets Maggie in the split.”
The source went on to express hopes that the pair won’t need to resort to involving lawyers over who gets to keep the pooch. The Mirror has approached a spokesperson of the couple for comment.
Eamonn and Ruth announced the end of their marriage on Saturday – leaving fans gobsmacked. They released a joint statement which read: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”
Ruth is expected to take time away from Loose Women while shockwaves of the divorce continue to make headlines. A source revealed on Sunday: “Ruth is choosing to stay off air a little longer – at least for a week. Her husband, however, is said to be gearing up to tell all about his second divorce when he returns to GB News on Monday.”
Eamonn, however, is scheduled to return to his GB News morning show, titled GB News’ Breakfast with Eamonn and Isabel, on Tuesday morning. A spokesperson for the channel told the Mirror on Monday that Eamonn would reprise his role on the show “after the bank holiday.”
