Figures for her Hey Ho Ltd firm that takes in cash from her roles on the telly like Loose Women and lucrative ad deals with the likes of Tesco reveal details of her monster paydays.
Accounts filed late last year show that for the 12 months to the end of May 2024, she took out a dividend of £770,000.
She also spent more than £12,000 on “furniture”, according to the balance sheet.
The annual accounts also revealed that the firm has cash and assets of more than £3m.
Ruth set up the company in 2013 and she is its sole director.
Last May, it was revealed how Ruth and Eamonn had ended their 14-year marriage and how he’d fallen for another woman.
Revealing their split after 14 years of marriage their spokesperson said: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”
GB News presenter Eamonn, 65, is now dating West Yorkshire grief counsellor Katie Alexander, 43.
Friends say Eamonn may soon propose to his new woman.
Katie wore a sparkling ring on her engagement finger on a trip to Paris in December 2024.
British tourists saw the couple looking loved-up as they came out of the Louvre.
A source said: “Eamonn has been talking openly about his plans to marry Katie and has made it clear he wants to spend the rest of his life with her.
“They’re already living together and he knows it feels right. They have a very strong connection and get on very well.
Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.
Here’s how their romance played out…
1997 – The couple first meet after being introduced by mutual friends, two years after Eamonn splits from his first wife, Gabrielle, with whom he has three children.
1997-2002 – To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: “I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less.”
2002 – Ruth and Eamonn welcome their son, Jack, to the family.
2005 – Eamonn finalises his divorce with Gabrielle.
2006 – The pair begin to host Friday episodes of This Morning together.
2010 – Eamonn proposes to Ruth while at the Cheltenham Races, after asking Ruth’s mother for her hand.
June 2010 – Eamonn and Ruth marry at Elvetham Hall, Hampshire.
2016 – Eamonn undergoes a double hip replacement in the first of many health battles.
June 2019 – On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits “compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal,” while Ruth said it was “laughter and an equal marriage”.
November 2020 – Ruth and Eamonn are replaced on their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary in a ‘show shake-up’.
December 2021 – After a year of being moved to the bank holiday presenting slot, both Eamonn and Ruth left This Morning.
January 2022 – Eamonn debuted on GB News, while Ruth stayed with ITV in her long-standing role on Loose Women.
September 2022 – Eamonn undergoes spinal surgery after years of back issues including a trapped sciatic nerve.
November 2022 – Eamonn falls down the stairs of his Surrey home with Ruth and breaks his shoulder, requiring a new operation.
September 2023 – Eamonn has a spine and neck stretching procedure as part of his year-long recovery.
May 2024 – Ruth and Eamonn announce they have split after 14 years of marriage and a 27-year relationship.
September 2024 – Eamonn was spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls in a ‘fierce’ divorce lawyer.
“She has given him a real lust for life and she looks after him.”
It comes as Ruth recently addressed her “difficult” marriage split.
She told Woman & Home magazine: “Relationship breakdowns are very difficult, but you deal with it and have to move on.
“You can let yourself crumble or you pick yourself up and get on with life. It’s a choice.”
