Ruth Langsford has been left ’embarrassed’ after Eamonn Holmes’ girlfriend was pictured wearing a sparkly diamond last week.
Katie Alexander, who has gotten very close to the GB News presenter, was pictured donning the ring on her wedding finger.
Katie has denied that the pair are engaged, but Ruth is reportedly still ‘upset’ by the ordeal.
The former This Morning cohosts split back in May after 27 years together, with Ruth trying to keep things amicable for their 22-year-old son Jack.
Ruth is said to be still wearing her wedding ring in an attempt to avoid drawing further attention to the situation.
A source told OK! Magazine that the star has been ‘upset’ and ’embarrassed’ by rumours that her ex-husband has proposed, despite being aware that Katie has denied the claims.
‘Seeing Eamonn’s new woman wearing an engagement ring over the weekend really upset her, not because of Eamonn moving on, but because she finds it hard having their marriage and split back in the limelight again’, the insider explained.
‘She would prefer it was done in private but she understands that there will be interest – it just feels like another blow – and she feels embarrassed about it all’.
A representative for Katie, who works as a relationships counsellor, released a statement saying: ‘There is no riddle. Ms Alexander is not engaged to Mr Holmes.’
Rumors have been swirling around the budding relationship between Eamonn Holmes and Katie Alexander, and last week, things took an interesting turn when Katie was spotted wearing a sparkling diamond ring on her wedding finger.
While Katie has been quick to shut down any engagement speculation, Ruth Langsford, Eamonn’s ex-wife, has reportedly been left feeling ’embarrassed’ by the whole ordeal.
The couple, who called it quits back in May after nearly three decades together, have been trying to navigate their new normal for the sake of their son Jack, who is 22 years old.
Despite the split, Ruth has been seen wearing her wedding ring as a way to maintain some sense of normalcy and avoid drawing further attention to the situation.
According to a source close to the situation, Ruth has been struggling with the recent attention on Eamonn’s new relationship and the engagement rumors surrounding Katie. “Seeing Eamonn’s new girlfriend wearing an engagement ring was really upsetting for her.
It’s not about Eamonn moving on, but more about having their private life on display for everyone to see,” the insider shared.
“Ruth would have preferred to deal with this in private, but understands that there is public interest. It just feels like another blow to her, and she can’t help but feel embarrassed by it all.”
Despite the speculation, Katie’s representative has been quick to clarify that there is no engagement in the works between her and Eamonn.
“There is no mystery here. Ms. Alexander is not engaged to Mr. Holmes,” the statement read. As the situation continues to unfold, it’s clear that Ruth is trying to navigate this new chapter in her life with grace and dignity, despite the challenges that come with it.
