Sad. No one gets married to get divorced do they?. They’re hoping to stay friends and keep things amicable. Such a nice couple.

Can't believe that this totally unimportant piece of gossip is either news or politics. Tbh who cares? More suited to the chat thread?!

Probably a mistake in posting. Easily done.

Well he divorced his first wife , or she divorced him ? , because she wouldn’t move from Ireland

I'm not too bothered whether they stay together or not but I really wish she would do something with her hair.

That brushed up look at the back is so dated.

Never seen them on television. Ever.

dogsmother Sat 25-May-24 21:41:23

Hm. Aren’t we all judgmental.

I think Ruth had problems with hair and volume loss during menopause - it was well publicized by her in various articles and on TV.
I believe she has hair extensions and possibly a topper.

strange that people comment on something they don't consider to be newsworthy.

they were together for 10 years before marrying, 27 years in all

I like Ruth on QVC.

Kate1949 Sat 25-May-24 23:08:37

I think Ruth's hair is lovely.

I like Ruth on QVC.

Me too! smile

Sparklefizz Sun 26-May-24 09:14:40

I wouldn't want him. I've never seen his appeal myself. He's always seemed nitpicking and grumpy to me.

henetha Sun 26-May-24 09:53:58

Most of her clothes on QVC are great, DanniRae. smile

That is a shame to split up. Eamon has had many health problems for a long time and he is not on T.V. very much. i expect health problems and change of work times have put a strain on the marriage it happens to many.

He was a very handsome young and middle aged man,some wold say Ruth was punching.Then there was the fact he had a much better more lucrative career than she did .I'd never heard of her before she married him.I hear he has financial worries now with unpaid tax...maybe she doesn't want to stick with him when he's not just sick but poor? Now she has a better career than he does....she always struck me as quite self centred on Loose women .
Whatever the reason its sad to see breakups at their age

tickingbird Sun 26-May-24 10:57:45

I like Eamonn but he’s had terrible health problems over the last few years and is in a lot of pain. I read she feels less of a wife, more of a carer. In sickness and in health, for better or worse……….

Not an error. Yes we could ‘chat’ about it but it was headline NEWS in several papers yesterday.

If I didn’t know something and then I do I have been known to say ‘That’s news to me’ 😂

JamesandJon33 Sun 26-May-24 12:42:34

Jaberwok Couldn’t agree more. Not at all ‘news’ worthy.

Harris27 Sun 26-May-24 13:35:50

Quite surprised though thought they were forever just shows you.

Grantanow Sat 01-Jun-24 16:00:34

I've no idea who they are and why their status matters to me.

henetha Sun 02-Jun-24 10:51:11

Lots of us do know them and simply feel sad at their separation. They seemed such a lovely couple.
That's all.

Curtaintwitcher Sun 02-Jun-24 10:57:10

I wonder if being in the public eye affects relationships. It seems nothing is private any more.

NotSpaghetti Sun 02-Jun-24 10:57:14

I have just had to Google them to see who they are. I am out of touch. I didn't know either of them (though confess had heard the names I think).

Georgesgran Sun 02-Jun-24 11:21:43

I’m quite surprised some GN’s haven’t heard of them. Eamon was an anchor on GMTV in the ‘90’s and had a much publicized fall-out with his co-presenter.
He’s done stints on various tv programmes, done adverts on tv with Ruth and I understand he is now a presenter on a different news channel. I’m not familiar with new ‘celebrities’ nor am I saying I like him, but he is quite well known.
