Ruth Langsford admits 'I have many regrets' as she speaks out after Eamonn Holmes split

Loose Women presenter Ruth Langsford has opened up about her regrets and vowing not to make the same mistakes again, following her split from Eamonn Holmes.

The former couple shocked fans back in May when they announced they are in the process of a divorce after 14 years of marriage.

Ruth is yet to address their split specifically, but has continued to wear her wedding ring while still officially married.

Eamonn has also decided to keep his band on, despite seemingly moving on with new girlfriend Katie Alexander, who is 22 years his junior.

In a rare admission after their split, 64-year-old Ruth has made a cryptic comment about regrets and moving forward.

She told Woman and Home Magazine: "I have many regrets, but I try not to dwell on them. You can't go back and change things.

"You can just go forward and not make the same mistakes again."

In the same interview, Ruth said "happiness" is what she values the most in her life, and for her son 22-year-old son Jack.

Referring to him as her "greatest love", the presenter went on to describe her only child as "delightful, caring and a wonderful young man".

Ruth shares Jack with Eamonn, who also has three older children with his first wife, Gabrielle Holmes.

The former couple also have a rescue dog together named Maggie, who has remained with Ruth at the Surrey mansion they once shared.

While it appears that their shock break-up is for good, relationship expert Jesper Jensen, from ExpertsEnAmour, told Reach PLC what the pair would need to consider, if they chose to rekindle in the future.

He shared: "Eamonn and Ruth have a history, and sometimes that can work in your favour if both have worked through past issues. For any chance of getting back together, there needs to be a genuine desire to forgive, heal, and rebuild trust."

Should these factors be overlooked, Jesper warns that "the same old problems will resurface".

On Eamonn's new relationship, he added: "When someone is emotionally ready, the timing may not matter as much as it seems."

However, he also noted that rebound relationships have their own difficulties, adding: "Eamonn's experience with Ruth will shape his approach with his new partner.

"If he's really reflected on his past relationship, this could be a good foundation, but only if both partners are willing to deal with any emotional baggage."
