Eagle-eyed fans may have noticed clues that all was not well with the pair for quite some time.

There has been one very obvious sign: Eamonn and Ruth have been active on social media but have not posted pictures of each other for nearly two years.

Their last social media post, to Instagram, was of the couple playing out a skit to promote her Feeling Fabulous event in July 2022.

Ruth was snapped creating a checklist for the event, before Eamonn appeared and asked ‘Do you think you’re forgetting something? Or some one? Like, me?’.

She quipped ‘You want to come?’, before adding, ‘I hadn’t really thought about it.’

‘I think they’ll want to see me more than that Anton (Du Beke) and that Rylan (Clark),’ Eamonn hit back.

Sharing the joint post to Instagram, Ruth penned: ‘Can’t help but think I’ve forgotten something important for my Feeling Fabulous event!?…

‘Of course! To celebrate Eamonn joining the amazing line up of guests we’re giving you the chance to win a free ticket. So if you’d like to get your hands on some head over to feelingfabulouswithruth.com (link in bio) for all the details. In his words… “This event just got a whole lot more FABULOUS!”

While this may have been the last time they shared a joint post with one another, Ruth uploaded a joint post with Rylan and tagged Eamonn as they tested out his new mobility star lift in January 2023

Around this time Ruth had also shared a snap of the pair attending the Royal ascot

Another tell-tale sign was that they have not been spotted at an event together since 2022. The last known event that they were pictured at was in July 2022 for the TRIC Awards at London’s The Grosvenor House Hotel

While this may have been the last time they shared a joint post with one another, Ruth uploaded a joint post with Rylan and tagged Eamonn as they tested out his new mobility star lift in January 2023.

In the joint, they penned: ‘Tell someone had to go and check out the tech… @eamonnholmes Good to see you on the mend ‘

Although July 2022 may be the last time they posted one another on social media, they were, in fact, spotted on camera in September 2023.

Eamonn filmed Ruth steaming her face and quizzed: ‘What are you doing?’

Ruth explained that she was doing it to fight her latest ailment.

She penned: ‘So day 3 of antibiotics and the doctor told me to steam twice a day….I try to do this in peace but @eamonnholmes decided to watch and offer helpful advice this morning!’

Eamonn and Ruth appeared in happy spirits for the evening as they stepped out in a pair of strapping suits.

More recently, Eamonn sent his fans into a frenzy when he shared a snap to Instagram with fellow TV star Linda Lusardi, 65.

He shared a sweet comparison photo of the pair of them 42 years apart.

Sharing the post to his grid, he penned: ‘1982 v 2024 and she hasn’t changed a bit . My wonderful, close friend Linda Lusardi who I went to see today 42yr friendship x’

This caused his fans to spiral in his comments as asked the TV veteran where his wife was.

One wrote: ‘have Eamonn and Ruth split up? They’re never seen together these days.’

Others added: ‘Poor Ruth, where is she?’… ‘Where is Ruth?’

The couple, who live in Surrey, have prompted many rumours throughout the showbusiness industry in recent months with their lack of joint appearances.

Eamonn and Ruth tied the knot in 2010 after 13 years together, in a lavish ceremony at the grand 19th-century Hampshire hotel, The Elvetham.

The couple are parents to son Jack, 22, while Eamonn also has sons Declan, 35, Niall, 31, and daughter Rebecca, 33, from his previous marriage.

Their split came just days after Ruth revealed she fears Eamonn ‘might never be 100 per cent right’ after undergoing back surgery due to suffering chronic back pain for almost two years.

The GB News breakfast presenter is still recovering from the surgery and an injury to his shoulder, which saw him take four months off work at the end of last year.

‘He does the physio, but there might have to be some acceptance that this might never be 100% right. With any care situation – and there are millions of carers in this country – it isn’t always easy. It’s testing but we manage as a family.’

Ruth added: ‘I look at Eamonn, who’s had his health and back problems, and it makes you realise how important your health is.’

On their big day, Ruth walked down the aisle in a dress and matching headdress by Italian designer Angelina Colarusso.

The newlyweds were joined by famous friends including Royle Family star Sue Johnston, TV presenters Gloria Hunniford, Amanda Lamb and Jeremy Kyle, EastEnders actress Zoe Lucker and former champion boxer Barry McGuigan.

Writing on his Twitter page at the time, the proud groom confirmed: ‘Sorry if me and Ruth have been a bit quiet these past few days… but have been a bit preoccupied – we got married yesterday.

‘Although it was a truly stunningly beautiful day – even the sun was eclipsed by my beautiful bride, who I love even more than before.’

Eamonn gushed about his bride in Hello! magazine, which obtained exclusive photographs of their special day.

He told the magazine at the time: ‘Ruth was the missing jigsaw piece in my life. I was meant to be married.

‘She’s a wonderful mummy to Jack, a fantastic partner both personally and professionally and now, I’m proud to say, she’s my beautiful wife.’

Ruth, who regularly presents Loose Women, enthused: ‘Our relationship is very passionate. We’re like Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.

‘Although we bicker and argue, ultimately our love for each other and the bond we share is so strong.’

Eamonn and Ruth also hosted This Morning together for 14 years, and were a fixture on the show both on Fridays and during the school holidays.

However, in 2020 the pair were dropped from their Friday slot and replaced by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary.

A source close to the pair said at the time they were ‘more upset than angry’ at being ousted from the show.
