SH0CKING STATEMENT:  Eamonn Holmes makes Brutal TEN-WORD Marriage dig after Ruth Langsford SPLIT

GB News breakfast presenter Eamonn Holmes made a cutting ten-word remark about marriage when discussing Nicole Kidman’s split from country singer husband Keith Urban. Eamonn, 65 and his co-presenter Ellie Costello, 31, were reporting on the break up when Ellie commented she thought it was very sad: “I think that’s very sad. They’ve got two children together…”

However Eamonn, whose marriage to Loose Women star Ruth Langsford broke down in May 2024, cut across her saying: “None of us know (what went on). The two of them could have despised each other and absolutely wanted to walk away from each other and we think it’s awful…We don’t know!” Undetered Ellie, who only got married in April this year, chimed in: “Well I think it’s sad when any marriage ends.” Eamonn then snapped back with a brutal response telling her: “That’s because you’ve just started (your marriage). You haven’t got to the bitter and twisted part yet!” he exclaimed.

Eamonn’s remarks were prompted in the aftermath of Oscar-winning Hollywood star Nicole, 58, and 57-year-old country music singer Keith’s separation after almost two decades together

They tied the knot in June 2006 and share two daughters – Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Sources close to the couple told PEOPLE the split has been devastating for Nicole, who reportedly fought hard to keep the marriage alive.

Reports first surfaced via TMZ, which revealed the pair had been living apart since the beginning of the summer. According to the outlet, Keith has moved into his own residence in Nashville, away from the family home.

Eamonn’s second marriage to Ruth Langsford broke down in 2024. The couple, who had worked together on ITV’s This Morning, surprised fans by announcing their split in May that year after 14 years married and 27 years together.

It was subsequently reported the 65-year-old Loose Women star discovered Eamonn was “sharing intimate chats with another woman” before finding incriminating messages on his laptop.

“Eamonn thought he was in the house alone while he was chatting on the phone. But Ruth could hear him from elsewhere in the house and was totally horrified. She confronted Eamonn.

“It was quite a shock — for both of them. Eamonn had no idea Ruth was in the house at the time. It was a huge blow to Ruth… to discover he was sharing intimate chats with another woman was a real kick in the teeth for Ruth,” a source told The Sun.

Eamonn has since moved on with new girlfriend, relationship therapist Katie Alexander who is 22 years is junior.
