“HE TOLD ME I’D NEVER BE LOVED AGAIN… BUT LOOK AT ME NOW.” Ruth Langsford, Teary-Eyed Yet Defiant, Breaking Her Silence With The Most Explosive Confession Of Her Life. After Months Of Whispers And Heartbreak, Ruth Has Finally Confirmed The Rumors: There Is Someone New. And This Time, She Says, “He Sees Me For Who I Am — Not Who He Wants Me To Be.”

 

After months of quiet speculation, Ruth Langsford has finally confirmed what fans have been hoping for — she’s found love again. Ruth Langsford's Loose Women co-stars reveal how she's ...

 

The Loose Women star, 65, took to Instagram to reveal she’s in a “wonderful new relationship” with Colm O’Driscoll, a 63-year-old property developer — and, in a twist straight out of a romantic movie, her first love from her teenage years in Belfast.

 

Alongside a black-and-white photo of the couple holding hands on a windswept Cornish beach, Ruth wrote:

 

“Sometimes life brings you full circle. Colm was my first kiss at 16. Forty-nine years later, he’s my future. ”

The post instantly went viral, drawing thousands of comments from fans celebrating her newfound happiness — and reportedly leaving her ex-husband, Eamonn Holmes, “stunned and full of regret.”

According to insiders, the couple reconnected in June at a charity fundraiser in Surrey — a chance encounter that reignited a spark nearly five decades old.

“He walked straight up to her and said, ‘Ruth McCullough, you haven’t changed a bit,’” a friend told MailOnline. “She laughed until she cried. It was as if no time had passed.”

Colm, a Belfast-born father-of-two, built his fortune in the London property market but has always lived a private, grounded life. Friends describe him as “charming, loyal, and completely devoted to Ruth.”

Sources close to Eamonn, 65, say the GB News host has been “left reeling” by Ruth’s new romance.

After 27 years together and 14 years of marriage, the pair announced their split in May 2024. Since then, Eamonn has been in a public relationship with 42-year-old relationship counsellor Katie Alexander — but insiders say Ruth’s announcement hit him harder than expected.

“Eamonn thought he’d moved on,” one insider said. “He’s been taking Katie to events, posting selfies… but Ruth’s post felt final — emotional, elegant, and real. It caught him completely off guard.”

Eamonn was photographed leaving his Surrey home in his wheelchair, looking subdued. Katie, seen carrying coffee, declined to comment.

Within hours of Ruth’s announcement, social media was flooded with praise and excitement.

“YES RUTH! Live your best life, queen ,” one fan wrote.
“Eamonn fumbled the bag,” joked another.
“Colm looks at her like she hung the moon. This is the glow-up we needed,” added a third.

Even Ruth’s Loose Women co-star Coleen Nolan shared her joy:

“Ruth’s son Jack calls Colm ‘the chill dad I never had.’ She’s glowing — I’ve never seen her this happy.”

The couple have already introduced their children — Ruth’s son Jack, 23, and Colm’s daughters, Aoife (26) and Niamh (24) — and insiders say they “get along beautifully.”
