EAMONN Holmes posed with his rarely-seen daughter today amid his ‘devastating’ split from Ruth Langsford.
Presenter Eamonn, 64, took to Instagram this morning with a car selfie alongside 33-year-old Rebecca, whom he shares with his first wife Gabrielle.
In his caption, he wrote: “Lots of folk posting about their daughters . Not many girls in The Holmes family but I have one who I love and adore xxx.”
The GB News host appears to be leaning on family amid his shock split from Ruth, 64, which they announced last month.
We revealed on Sunday how the Loose Women anchor has decided to extend her break by another week following the separation.
Meanwhile, Eamonn is being consoled by a blonde divorcee in her 40s – who also happens to be a marriage counsellor.
The TV presenter grew close to the woman last year after they first made contact several years ago.
Eamonn has been on outings with the woman, including a trip to a safari park, and he has showered her with gifts.
It is understood that Ruth was unaware of their liaisons until recently.
A telly insider told us: “Ruth will not be back on screen this week.
“She has decided to extend her break from ITV so will not yet be making a return to the Loose Women panel.”
Ruth and Eamonn confirmed their shock separation two weeks ago and revealed they are getting a divorce.
Revealing their split after 14 years of marriage in an exclusive statement to The Sun on Sunday, their spokesperson said: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”
Ruth has not appeared on ITV1’s daytime show Loose Women, of which she works as a main anchor, since the announcement was made.
On Friday, however, she did put on a brave face and made a return to QVC.
Ruth was on the shopping channel to promote her fashion range and she notably had her wedding ring still on her finger.
Broadcaster Eamonn, meanwhile, was back on telly within days of their divorce being made public.
He was also wearing his wedding ring as he returned to his breakfast show on GB News and he thanked viewers for their “support”.
Eamonn said: “Just before we move on we’d just like to thank people for your support for Ruth and I over the last few days as to the news of our separation.
“Your support for both of us is very much appreciated.”
He said it had been an “emotional weekend” as he spoke of the joy at seeing his beloved Manchester United win the FA Cup Final.
This weekend, The Sun on Sunday told how Eamonn has turned to his blonde relationship counsellor friend.
Sources say he treated her to a Beyonce concert, a Center Parcs visit last year and tickets to see Man United at Old Trafford.
A source said: “Ruth was obviously aware that her marriage was crumbling, but as details emerge, her upset has turned to anger.
“Eamonn’s friend is bowled over by being lavished with attention and kindness from him.”
The woman met Eamonn via Twitter after she commented on a post and it sparked a conversation.
Since then, particularly in the past 12 months, they are said to have become closer friends.
A source close to Eamonn said: “She works for a charity Eamonn is involved with from time to time.”
Publicly, relations between Eamonn and Ruth have been civil after the split.
