Eamonn Holmes's heartfelt tribute amid 'battle' with ex-wife Ruth Langsford over pet dog
TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has shared an emotional tribute to his beloved Border Collie dog Maggie after a reported custody battle with his ex-wife Ruth Langsford, following their divorce.
After more than a decade of marriage and nearly 30 years together, TV couple Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford officially went their separate ways in May 2024. At the heart of their split was their dog who the couple adopted in 2011.
Eamonn, 65, shared two pictures of himself with the beloved pooch along with the caption: '17 years apart …… and we are both still going - JUST'. Ex-wife Ruth, who is a regular panellist on Loose Women, also regularly shares photos with their dog Maggie, and it is unknown what their official arrangement is. It comes after Princess Andre says she's 'independent' from parents as she breaks silence after Katie Price row.
A source previously opened up about their dog and said it was like a child to them. A source told The Sun: 'Maggie is like a daughter to them. They dote on her. But she's getting on and they know she needs stability. It's a case of who can give [Maggie stability]. Eamonn adores her and Maggie's been such a support during his health woes. The thought of giving her up is heartbreaking to him.'
They added: 'But if Ruth is able to get out and about and walk her more, then it may well be that she gets Maggie in the split.'
Many of Eamonn's fans comment on his recent post, asking about the arrangement with Maggie, as well as commenting on how cute the pooch is.
One person asked: 'Does Ruth let you see Maggie?', while another said: 'Wish you could you be together'. A third commented: 'She's a beauty.', while another said: 'www gorgeous pair'.
Eamonn's Instagram post comes after he made a dig at his ex-wife, Ruth, after reportedly claiming that his girlfriend, Katie Alexander, 43, is his "soulmate".
Eamonn and Katie look very loved-up in recent snaps, having attended GB News star Nana Akua's engagement party earlier this month.
According to Bella magazine, dad-of-four, Eamonn, gushed that Katie was his "soulmate" at the glamorous bash in London while also reportedly quipping: "In sickness you find out who is there for you."
Commenting on the apparent dig, a source said: "It was an insensitive comment from Eamonn, but he's smitten with Katie and does feel like she has been there for him through the hard times. That said, it is a kick in the teeth for Ruth because she has been there for him since the beginning."

Taylor Swift announces new album with milestone in Travis Kelce relationship
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Taylor Swift has announced her much-anticipated 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. The 35-year-old pop star made the announcement in an unusual way compared to past album reveals, this time enlisting her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce to reveal the title. The news came via a teaser for Swift's upcoming appearance on their mega-popular New Heights podcast – with the episode sure to be widely watched and dissected by fans. In the video, which was shared on Instagram at 12.12am ET on Tuesday, Taylor said: 'Can I show you something?' Jason, 37, replied, 'Okay. What do we got? We got a briefcase? Mint green, with T.S. on it.' Taylor confirmed: 'Yup.' Jason then asked: 'What's in it?' Taylor the replied: 'This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl.' Travis exclaimed in response: 'TS12!' The cover art for the record remained obscured in the clip, with Taylor's website now displaying a mysterious, blurred orange and green cover, alongside options to buy CD, cassette, and vinyl versions of the album. While the album's artwork remains under wraps, clues suggest that orange will be the defining shade of this era. On the New Heights set, behind Taylor, a stack of orange-covered art books nodded to an eclectic roster of inspirations: the urban grit of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the dreamlike colour worlds of Marc Chagall, the sculptural poetry of Ruth Asawa, and the meditative abstractions of Mark Rothko. Just off to the side, a silver microphone and a football winked at both her current surroundings and her co-hosts' NFL heritage. The visual breadcrumbs continued online. On Monday (11 August), Taylor added a countdown to her website – a glittery orange backdrop framing a mint green clock – which ticked down to 12:12 a.m. on Tuesday, the exact moment her new album was announced. The reveal dovetailed neatly with confirmation that the Blank Space singer would appear on New Heights this Wednesday (13 August). More Trending In a teaser clip posted to X, Taylor complimented Travis on his sky-blue sweatshirt: 'That's such a nice colour on you.' His reply was pure rom-com: 'Yes, I know. It's the colour of your eyes, sweetie. It's why we match so well.' Taylor, visibly delighted, blurted: 'We're about to do a f***ing podcast!' Fans had been primed for her visit – the guest announcement image showed her unmistakable silhouette between podcast hosts Travis and Jason Kelce, framed in that same glittering orange and mint-green motif now synonymous with this rollout. It has not yet been revealed when The Life of a Showgirl will be released, but Taylor's website confirmed orders will be sent out before 13 October.

Victoria Beckham playfully mocks son Romeo's hunky shirtless snap as she stays silent on eldest boy Brooklyn snubbing the family amid secret vow renewal with wife Nicola Peltz
Victoria Beckham playfully mocked her son Romeo as he posted a hunky shirtless Instagram snap, despite her heartbreak over eldest boy Brooklyn's vow renewal snub. Model Romeo, 22, whom Victoria shares with husband David, took to social media on Monday to upload a sizzling black and white snap of himself flexing his muscles. But while the post sent Romeo's young fans wild, Victoria couldn't help but make a cheeky swipe at her boy as she commented: 'What r u doing Romeo?' alongside a crying with laughter emoji. Fans were quick to react to Victoria's lighthearted remark, with many coming up with suggestions on what Romeo could actually be doing. Victoria's fun exchange with her second child comes amid her heartbreak over not being invited to Brooklyn's vow renewal with wife Nicola Peltz. The Spice Girl, 51, and football legend David, 50, reportedly fear that Brooklyn, 26, has 'quit the family' after failing to invite any of his relatives to the event. Brooklyn and wife Nicola who first wed in 2022, said 'I do' for a second time on August 2 in Westchester County in front of her family who had key roles in the day, with the Beckham clan nowhere in sight. Nicola wore her 70-year-old mother's vintage 1985 bridal gown for the big day, while her father Nelson, 83, was given the key role of officiating. Brooklyn's parents and siblings Romeo, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, reportedly only found out about their big day after reading about it on a US website. Their eldest son has become increasingly estranged from the family ever since he snubbed his father's 50th birthday, and now, the family fear it's a final kick in the teeth for the family. A source told The Sun: 'This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria. Seeing Nelson having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially. Not one member of the 30-plus extended family knew about the wedding, or were invited. 'His grandparents are devastated too as Brooklyn has always been so close to them.' The source added: 'It feels cruel and spiteful. This is no longer a game. It has gone beyond all that. This is a family who feel they have lost their precious boy - and see no way back. 'Honestly, they are now questioning why he even wants to keep the 'Beckham' surname - will he revert to Peltz? August 2nd 2025 - is this the day Brooklyn formally declared himself no longer a part of the Beckham family? It certainly feels like it.'. Victoria's cheeky comment comes in stark contrast to the swooning messages from Romeo's followers Daily Mail has contacted Brooklyn, Nicola and the Beckhams' representatives for comment. Brooklyn and Nicola first tied the knot in a lavish £3million ceremony in 2022, when relations first began to sour with his parents in the run-up to the big day. After shunning a dress made by her fashion designer Victoria in favour of a Valentino gown in 2022 - a choice which wasn't well received - Nicola once again snubbed her mother-in-law and wore her mother Claudia's vintage wedding gown. It is a poignant message to Posh and Becks', whom he and Nicola have grown increasingly estranged over recent months. All the while the Beckhams were said to be upset by the Peltzes in 2022 who they felt were taking over the wedding. And ever since their first big nuptials in April 2022, the two families have not reunited and Nicola has rarely been pictured with the Beckhams. The couple shared the images on Instagram on Monday, alongside the words 'only love.' Nicola wore the same original $1.8mill ring set adding a glinting filter onto the dazzling jewels. Brooklyn's parents and siblings Romeo, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, only found out about their big day after reading about it on a US website, something which would have shattered his beloved family's hearts They also shared a video of their very casual proposal on TikTok alongside a song by Ysabelle Cuevas alongside the words: 'Lost in your eyes..' Brooklyn described the vow renewal as a 'really beautiful experience' while admitting he is still head-over-heels for his wife. Speaking for the first time about the day, the 26-year-old admitted he'd happily do it 'every single day' if he could.
