But despite their break-up being almost a year ago, they are yet to finalise their divorce.
However, it has been revealed that Eamonn and Ruth have begun breaking up their shared business interests.
The divorcing pair own a firm called Red White and Green where they used to pool money from their joint broadcasting ventures.
But they have not appeared on TV together since they announced their shock split a year ago.
And documents filed to Companies House this week show that the cash deposits in the firm have dwindled from £205,41 in 2023 to just £17,997 last year.
They have also disposed of “plant and machinery” worth a massive £401,350.
Telly’s former golden couple are joint directors of the outfit, and it was set up in 2021.
But only two years later in May 2023, 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.
Last month, the couple were seen during a tender public display of affection as they cheered on Katie’s eldest son in an amateur cup final.
TV host Eamonn stood from his wheelchair, holding on to a railing, as they got into the tense game in Wakefield, West Yorks – with onlookers describing them as “loved up”.
Glamorous blonde-haired Katie, in a green anorak and black outfit, held Eamonn’s hand and lent in for a smooch as he clutched a drink.
On the other hand, Loose Women Ruth won’t be starting a new relationship until her divorce from Eamonn is finalised.

“And she’s also coming to terms with life being very, very different for her going forward.
“Ruth has been having fun going out with her girlfriends, and enjoying a little flirt, but that’s it.
“She really needs the Eamonn chapter to be fully closed before she can move on romantically, she needs her freedom.”
