Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford’s divorce has reportedly turned to “absolute hatred” as the pair argue over money and their former marital home.
The GB News presenter, 66, and former This Morning host, also 66, announced their split in 2024 after 27 years together.
Holmes - who is currently recovering in hospital from a stroke - has since moved on with relationship counsellor Katie Alexander, 43.
The exes’ fallout has reportedly soured with their children taking sides, with Holmes’ son Niall being seen at Wimbledon with his stepmother Langsford last week.
Sources have claimed Niall and Holmes had a “huge row” after the split and they “haven’t spoken since”.
“Eamonn is, of course, upset and is sharing news of the fall-out with his friends now. He’s still close to his eldest son Declan – who has two little girls, Emilia and Isabella – and daughter Rebecca, but they have been caught in the crossfire of his falling-out with Niall,” a source told The Mail.
“The feud doesn’t look like it will resolve itself anytime soon,” the insider added, claiming that Holmes and Langsford’s son Jack, 23, has also sided with his mother.
The source said: “Things remain strained between him and his father. It’s fair to say that things between Eamonn and Ruth are at a pretty ugly stage now.”
Another insider claimed the pair - who were married for 14 years and together for 27 - say their “love has turned to absolute hatred” with arguments over finances as neither side is prepared to give in.
Langsford was granted a “severance of joint tenancy” on their six-bedroom property, meaning Holmes would no longer have a claim on her share of the home, which the couple bought in 2014, according to the Mail.
“It’s all a nightmare. And these things have an effect on family relations, especially when it comes to Eamonn and his youngest sons. They don’t like to see Ruth upset,” a friend said.
The Standard has contacted representatives for Langsford and Holmes for comment.
Last month it was claimed the pair are heading to court in an estimated £10million divorce battle.
A trial has been set for November following earlier hearings in February this year and June of last year, according to The Sun.
A source told the newspaper that Ruth had initiated court proceedings for a so-called “financial remedy” hearing after negotiations between the pair broke down.
Based on publicly available information regarding their careers and assets, the issues at trial could include an estimated personal fortune of around £5 million, as well as their former marital home in Weybridge, Surrey, which they purchased 12 years ago for £3.6 million.
