Ruth Langsford has dished on the secret behind her happy marriage to Eamonn Holmes, but did admit the pair often have some fiery rows.
The beloved showbiz couple, both 60, who host This Morning together, may often bicker on-air but their strong bond and loyalty to one another always shines through.
The TV presenters have been together for a whopping 23 years, and married for a decade of that, and share 18-year-old son Jack together.
And although ITV viewers can sometimes catch the pair disagree live on-air, they can be sure that Ruth and Eamonn will sort it out in a matter of minutes, proving they’ve got the hang of their dynamics by now.
After tying the knot in 2010, Ruth has now shared the one secret to their happy relationship that has spanned across 23 years and counting.
Speaking to Prima, Ruth revealed the one key ingredient to making any marriage work – especially hers.
She dished: “Having respect for each other is really important in a relationship. It’s nice to be a couple, but we are individual people.”
She went on: “Eamonn and I can have big rows and argue, then ten minutes later we’re laughing about something.
“We’ve been together 23 years so it has been a long and happy relationship but we have our moments.
“There are times when he really annoys me and I really annoy him and there are times when I think, ‘Get out of my face.’ Obviously, you’re not always going to get on, but you have to make it work.”
She added: “Underneath it all, we know we have a strong relationship.”
Before the pair got together, Ruth has revealed that she was a fan of Eamonn’s work and was a little starstruck when she first said hi to him.
Ruth recalled: “Before I even met Eamonn, I was a big fan.
“I used to watch him on GMTV and I always thought he was handsome, funny and a brilliant journalist. It was nerve-racking when I did meet him; I remember thinking, ‘Oh, my God, that’s Eamonn Holmes!'”
