Ruth Langsford is said to be "excited for new man" as her divorce from Eamonn Holmes looms, but her actions are reportedly "leaving the This Morning host furious"
Ruth Langsford is reportedly "moving on" and it's causing quite the stir with her ex, Eamonn Holmes. The pair, who left fans gobsmacked with their split announcement in May, are now navigating new waters as Ruth gears up for a fresh start post-divorce.
She's been telling her mates that "life begins after divorce," and she's all about embracing the next chapter, sources claim. Meanwhile, Eamonn is said to be fuming with envy over her newfound zest for life.
An insider dished this week: "Ruth's sass is definitely back. She's ready for exciting new adventures and a new man – if and when it's on her terms – but for now, she's not overly fussed about jumping into anyone's bed but her own. Girls' nights out and piña coladas are filling the void. Her friends are like her armour and they give great advice."
"Eamonn is just angry and jealous – he's brought this all on himself but Ruth is keeping dignified," they spilled to Closer. Adding fuel to the fire, Eamonn was reportedly "seething and hurt" by Ruth's jaunt on I'm A Celeb.

The 64-year-old telly star was all smiles landing in Australia earlier this month for the Unpacked spin-off, but Eamonn was far from chuffed about her adventure Down Under, reports the Mirror.
Another source revealed: "Eamonn is seething about Ruth going to the jungle as she never wanted to go away with him. She told him she hated flying! He'd always dreamed of taking her on some special trips, places they could explore and enjoy together, but every time he suggested it, she shot the idea down."
"Now, all of a sudden, she's more than happy to hop on a plane for 22 hours each way to the other side of the world! It's left him feeling completely baffled and a bit hurt, to be honest. It's rubbed him up the wrong way because it feels like she's willing to do it for the show but not for him," an insider told The Sun. The couple is reportedly aiming for a quick divorce in the new year following their surprise announcement to end their 14-year marriage.
Another source revealed to The Sun: "The aim is for Eamonn and Ruth to resolve their divorce as quickly as possible in the New Year. Ruth is keen to stay in their marital home as it is where she is settled. Eamonn, on the other hand, wants to get out and make a fresh start. They aren't dragging their heels and want this settled and done as quickly as possible."
Meanwhile, Eamonn and Katie sparked marriage rumours after a recent trip to Paris. The pair were snapped outside the Louvre last week, with Eamonn in a mobility chair and Katie sporting a faux leather coat.
Katie was also seen wearing a sparkling ring on her engagement finger, fuelling speculation that Eamonn may be planning to pop the question.
Ruth's legal team are reportedly piecing together a timeline of Eamonn's new romance as they gear up for the divorce discussions. A source spilled to the Mirror: "Ruth's legal team are compiling a forensically detailed account of Eamonn's relationship with Katie and when it started. Ruth's team are doing their due diligence ahead of the divorce proceedings. They are prepared to speak to people in Ruth and Eamonn's wider circle."
The insider continued: "Katie and Eamonn have been scrambling around to tell their respective exes that they were not romantically involved way back then."
